Home Remedies for Dandruff
Dandruff is scaly scurf formed on and shed from the scalp. The scurf collects between hair and falls on shoulders, eyebrows, face and clothes. Dandruff can either be the dry type or the waxy type. The dry type is itchy and spreads in the hair.
On the other hand, the waxy type gets stuck to the scalp and can be seen in patches. This is contagious and can be transmitted to others from common towels, soaps, combs and hairbrushes. Dandruff is caused by poor nutrition, zinc deficiency, fungal infection or using alkaline soaps and/or shampoos.
You can treat dandruff with natural remedies. Some of the suggested remedies are as follows:
• Apply hot oil on your head, massage it and wrap your head with a damp, hot towel. After some time, your hair should be washed.
• Soak lemon peels in coconut oil for 8 to 10 days; apply the filtered oil on your head.
• Mix vinegar (2 tbsp.) with hot water (6 tbsp.); apply this on your scalp at night after soaking in cotton ball; wash the hair in the morning.
• Add drops of vinegar to beetroot juice; apply on your scalp. Alternately, add ginger juice drops with the beetroot juice and apply.
