After years of dealing with dandruff and using almost every anti-dandruff shampoo available in the market, I’ve decided to try natural home remedies to solve my issue.
This chronic scalp condition is quite common but isn’t contagious. Yet having white, oily- looking flakes on your hair, scalp and shoulders can be quite embarrassing.
Here are some natural ways to get rid of dandruff.
Olive Oil
With consistent application of olive oil to your scalp, you can actually say goodbye to your dandruff since it is a natural clarifying and moisturizing agent. Before going to bed, apply an ample amount of olive oil to your scalp in circular motions. Rinse your hair with a mild shampoo the next morning.
Vinegar
Since it is rich in potassium and enzymes effective in treating dandruff and itchy scalp, vinegar is a perfect home remedy for dandruff. Massaging apple cider vinegar on your scalp for 5 to 7 minutes will help you eliminate dead skin cells that clog hair follicles leading to dandruff.
Baking Soda
Aside from its many uses, baking soda can also clarify the scalp from dandruff and eliminate excess flakes. Mix one teaspoon of baking soda with a handful of shampoo and massage it on your scalp to remove dandruff flakes.
Aloe Vera
Aloe vera clarifies and repairs damaged skin as well as fights dandruff. To remove dandruff, apply aloe vera on the scalp for 15 minutes.
Eggs
Applying eggs to your scalp can help in the treatment of dandruff as well as falling hair. It also serves as a good hair conditioner to treat dry hair. Simply beat two eggs and apply on scalp. Rinse it off after one hour.
Neem leaves
A known home remedy for the treatment of lice, neem leaves are also effective in fighting dandruff because of its antiseptic property. To use it as a home remedy, apply neem leaves paste on your scalp.
Lukewarm Oil
Considered as one of the best home remedy for dandruff, lukewarm coconut, olive, and almond oil can be used to massage the scalp to prevent dandruff.
Onion
Although its smell may be awful, applying onion paste on your scalp can be effective in eliminating dandruff. To remove its smell, simply apply lemon juice on your scalp.
