I think the "Neem Oil" needs an explanation. I don't think the Neem Oil for this concoction is the same as the Neem Oil I use on plants in my garden. That type of Neem Oil is used for things like killing bugs on my roses and other plants. I would think that might be toxic if used on the scalp.
I had never heard of Neem oil POWDER prior to this post. "Little DIY" could you enlighten us on this? You're not using the garden type of Neem Oil, are you? Is the type you're using a whole different thing than the garden type of Neem Oil? I don't want to try this until I'm sure what kind of Neem Oil you're using here. Thanks!
Dermotoligst recommended SeaBreeze to my dad in the 60’s. Worked great then and works great now. Just go to Walmart and get a bottle of SeaBreeze. No need for all those wasted time and money. SeaBreeze -Walmart, Amazon or any drugstore
