Home Remedies for Dandruff
While you may have tried several anti-dandruff shampoos for a dandruff-free scalp, you might not have tried simple effective home remedies. Home remedies may offer complete solutions for controlling dandruff. They are worth trying.
The vegetables you eat can render equally good results for taming overgrowing dandruff. While you may think that drinking plenty of water may help to keep your kidneys in good condition, did you know that it is also beneficial for your hair? Similarly, use of green vegetables, fresh fruits and salads in your daily diet also helps in maintaining a healthy scalp.
You can fall victim to excessive dandruff at any age.
Wash your combs frequently and brush your hair regularly. This helps to remove the dead skin from your scalp.
The different types of food you eat are laden with essential vitamins and minerals vital for a healthy existence. While dandruff can occur due to internal or external causes, many food items contain materials that can put a check on it effectively.
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 - tie 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.
Some common tips
You may think that home remedies take a long time to show their effects but, if you wish to provide a permanent and effective cure, patience is must.
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 and new confidence in yourself. If you love to be massaged, you can treat the problem of dandruff with it.
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!
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.
While rubbing a cut onion on the scalp helps to combat dandruff, it might not suit you if you are allergic to strong smells.
If so, you have other options.
Rinse your scalp with vinegar after massaging it with three-day-old cheese.
Similarly, massaging your scalp with curd also yields good results.
Treating Dandruff with Nutritional Supplements
If you feel that your problem is more internal than external, which it probably is, you can think of curing it with nutritional therapy. Changing your diet may help you rid yourself of dandruff. While a little change here and there would not have much affect your appetite, it can bring desirable changes elsewhere.
Add those food items that help combat dandruff and reduce those that facilitate its growth.
This simple formula can really give you dandruff-free shining hair.
Food items like bread, wine, sweets and beer contain yeast that may encourage the growth of Malassezia fungus that causes dandruff. Reduce their intake and inhibit its growth.
Vitamins A and B are good for healthy hair and skin. Add food materials that are rich in these vitamins and attain a more healthy skin that can ward off the trouble-causing fungus.
Further, minerals like zinc regulate the oil glands, boost your immune system and promote healing. While many anti-dandruff shampoos contain zinc, you can eat fish and egg yolk. They are rich in this mineral. You can also supplement with a zinc tablet every day.
Other Effective Home Remedies
Tea tree oil has served the people through its therapeutic effects for centuries.
It acts as an antibiotic, antiseptic and antifungal agent and is combats dandruff as well. Be careful in using the oil as it may produce allergic reactions., If so, immediately stop using it.
There are other milder products to treat dandruff. A mixture of olive oil and almond oil can produce the same result for you. 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. Aspirin is one that I'd advise that you try first!
While Aloe Vera serves as a base for many anti-dandruff shampoos, 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.
I believe owning your own Aloe Vera plant. Getting it directly from the plant is a sure-fire way of getting the perfect Aloe Vera. Regular use of the gel before shampooing will keep down the growth of dandruff.
Citrus fruits like lemon combat the problem of dandruff well. Just massage the scalp with lemon juice and leave it on for five minutes then wash it thoroughly.
Some of the old remedies for dandruff involve treating your scalp with witch hazel. You can soak a cotton ball with liquid witch hazel and dab the scalp with it. Washing the scalp with the solution is also effective in giving you freedom from the problem of dandruff.
Many plants and trees have therapeutic qualities; all you need to do is to use them appropriately.
There is also Neem extract, used for killing bacteria. You can boil a few Neem leaves in water and use the liquid for rinsing your hair. The liquid, which is formed, is beneficial for fighting the fungus responsible for dandruff.
Another old remedy for dandruff is to use boric acid. Rub it on your scalp, wash it with warm water and then shampoo the hair as you regularly do.
Another method to add to the endless list is to rub peanut oil into the scalp followed by an application of lemon juice.
If you are suffering from severe dandruff, you will find many home remedies available for you. You should give each remedy at least a week before trying another.
These remedies take time to show a visible change but are effective for some people.
An extremely dry scalp is as much responsible for flakiness as An extremely oily scalp. If your body regulates the oil content well, the fungus will not have a favorable environment to spread uncontrollably. The simple and easy to apply treasure of home remedies offers you a permanent solution for combating dandruff.
