Just a random tip

I probably never mentioned it.  But Sean used to have dandruff.  It never flaked off.  It just clump on his scalp around his hair follicles.  I hated it.  He hated it.  Ok.  He hated that I hated it because it turns out I pick at things.  Like when the boys had cradle cap.  Poor boys.

But the dandruff.  I would have his hair cut short, and then I would soak his scalp with baby oil.  Then I would comb it all out with Sean protesting all the way.  Every time I had his scalp cleared, it would reappear.  I changed shampoos.  I asked everyone who cut Sean’s hair.  Nothing worked.

Then one day I read a random tip.  Comb the hair with hand sanitizer, which will kill the bacteria making the dandruff.  Weird.  Ok, maybe not so weird.  Once in Evan’s babyhood, I was getting his picture taken and his hair was a mess.  I had no water, no gel.  But I had hand sanitizer.  It turns out hand sanitizer makes a good hair gel.

So I styled Sean’s hair with hand sanitizer for a couple of days.  And it worked.  It got rif of the dandruff.  It’s been months, and he still hasn’t had any. 

So there you have it.  A random tip for the day.
