Before you spend a fortune on fancy serums, look in your pantry. Aloe vera gel (straight from the plant or a pure bottle) is a cooling, anti-inflammatory superstar. Massage it into your scalp, leave it for 15 minutes, then rinse.
Another trick? Diluted apple cider vinegar (one part vinegar to three parts water). It balances pH and fights microbes. It smells like a salad dressing, but the results are worth it—just don’t use it more than once a week.
