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.
