Dandruff is an increasing problem today and
I'm sure we all are tired of using chemicals
and shampoos on our hair that say they will
erase the dandruff only to give temporary
relief. Listed below are natural ways to deal
with those itchy scales on your head.
Apple cider vinegar: The acidity of apple cider
vinegar changes the pH of your scalp, making
it harder for yeast to grow. This helps in
reducing dandruff.
Baking soda: Wet your hair and then rub a
handful of baking soda vigorously into your
scalp. Don't use shampoo. Baking soda
reduces fungi that can cause dandruff.
Coconut oil: Massage 3-5 tablespoons of
coconut oil into your scalp and leave it
overnight. Wash off the oil the next day with a
mild shampoo.
Lemon: Massage 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
into your scalp and rinse with water. Then stir
1 teaspoon lemon juice into 1 cup
water and rinse your hair with it after
shampooing. Let the lemon water be the last
rinse. Lemon's acidity helps balance the pH of
your scalp, which helps keeps dandruff at bay.
Garlic: Garlic's anti-fungal properties are
perfect for eliminating dandruff-causing
bacteria. Massage your scalp with crushed
garlic and honey before washing.
