Aveda question?

Just wondered if any Aveda experts can help me, I developed very dry scalp and dandruff since summer. I tried different sorts shampoos and conditioners, and bought Aveda damage remedy shampoo, treatment, conditioner recently. My hair is lovely very healthy, but i still have slight dry scalp and dandruff, although its hugely approved. Do i need different Aveda products? They seem to do dry remedy, scalp benefits and etc...
Thank you

Have you tried oiling your hair and scalp once or twice a week either overnight (wrap an old towel around your pillow) or for 30 mins before washing? Neem oil is good for my scalp I find, although I usually use coconut oil because it makes my hair softer and shinier.

When you get the coconut oil, don't be worried that it's solid in the tin. Just put some oil onto the palm of your hand and it will melt with your body heat, or sit the tin in a little warm wather.

It's lovely stuff, I also use it on the ends of DD's slightly afro hair after washing to stop it going dry and matted.

When I had the same problem, I tried every shampoo in Boots (cheap and expensive) and also the Aveda ones. Eventually I tried Kerastase, and that was the one that worked.
