Dandruff is a common problem. You can fall victim
to excessive dandruff at any age. 97% of Americans suffer from
dandruff at some time. One out of every two persons in the world
have problem with dandruff.
Dandruff Home Remedies
Common practice is to treat dandruff with anti-dandruff shampoos.
But did you know that you can use simple effective home remedies
to treat dandruff? Home remedies may offer complete solutions
for controlling dandruff.
One of the best ways to control dandruff is to apply a mixture
of vinegar and water on the scalp. Make a mixture of 2 teaspoons
of vinegar and 6 teaspoons of water and apply it on the scalp
before you go to bed. Keep it for the whole night with a towel
around the head. Rinse your head with vinegar water again in the
morning. If you continue to treat your hair with it for few months,
it will serve your purpose.
You can also use a mixture of 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 2-teaspoons
of vinegar. Massage the scalp with this solution. After the massage,
treat your hair with an egg shampoo.
You can rub a combination of 1 part sulfur powder, 2 parts surgical
spirit, 1 part almond oil and 4 parts rose water or distilled
water on your scalp to keep dandruff at bay. Or:
Boil a mixture of 4-5 dried thyme and two cups of water for 10
minutes. When the mixture cools down, massage it on the scalp
and leave it for half an hour. Wash it afterwards and see the
results. You will have a dandruff-free head.
You can also soak ground fenugreek seeds overnight in water and
massage the paste on the head, leaving it for a few minutes. Wash
it afterwards using a mild shampoo.
You can also prepare a homemade mixture of 1 tablespoon fresh
lemon juice with 100 grams witch hazel in 200ml of water and use
it on washed hair. Applying the mixture several times is helpful
in warding off the problem of dandruff.
If you wash your hair with warm apple cider vinegar, leaving
it for 30-40 minutes and then rinsing it with plain water, you
are sure to control dandruff positively. You have to continue
this process regularly to stop its return. The smell of the vinegar
does evaporate!
Try a mixture of olive oil and almond oil. Massage your scalp
with the mixture and leave it for five minutes after you feel
the burning sensation. Rinse properly and you should have a dandruff-free
head.
Did you know the well-known pain killer aspirin, used for relieving
aches, can serve you equally effectively to eliminate the problem
of dandruff? Just crush and powder two aspirin tablets and add
it to your shampoo. Leave the mixture on your scalp for two minutes.
Rinse and wash properly to remove the aspirin particles completely
from the scalp.
You can directly use Aloe Vera gel to remove excess dandruff.
Apply the gel on your scalp 10-15 minutes before you plan to wash
your hair. Regular use of the gel before shampooing will keep
down the growth of dandruff.
These remedies take time to show a visible change but are effective
for some people.
The best point concerning a home remedy is that you have many
options and, if you think that a particular ingredient does not
suit you, you can try an alternative. You should give each remedy
at least a week before trying another.
