Home Remedies for Treating Dandruff
Dandruff is one of the most skin problems affecting the scalp. If not treated at an earlier stage, dandruff can turn out to be a real messy issue, not only affecting our scalp but also making us feel embarrassed in front of the world.
Emotional stress, wrong food combination, over exposure to extreme cold climate, applying harsh shampoos can all be reasons for dandruff.
However, effective solution can be found in the following home remedies.
1. The first home remedy for dandruff is Aloe Vera. Rub Aloe Vera gel into your scalp, leave it for 10 minutes and wash your hair with a mild shampoo. Do this regularly to get rid of dandruff.
2. In order to treat dandruff, use lemon, as it helps restore the pH balance of your scalp. Mix 15 ml of coconut oil with a few drops of lemon juice and massage it into the hair. Leave it so for the night and wash off the next day. This mask will reduce dandruff.
3. One more effective dandruff treatment is the mixture of 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and 2 teaspoons of vinegar. The mixture should be massaged into the scalp and then washed off.
4. Another valuable prescription for elimination of dandruff is the use of Eucalyptus oil. Mix a few drops of it with 20 ml coconut oil and massage into the scalp to remove the flakes. Do this twice a week for a couple of weeks to get rid of dandruff.
5. Aspirin is also very effective to eliminate the problem of dandruff. Crush and powder two tablets and mix with your shampoo. Leave this mixture on your scalp for a pair of minutes and then rinse thoroughly.
