Dandruff is a very common factor these days
and most people suffer from it especially in seasons like monsoon and winter.
One can go for effective
anti dandruff shampoos so that they can remove those unwanted dandruff
flakes. But shampoos may not always work effectively. One can also depend on
some good home remedies to fight back.

This is an effective essential oil with
anti seborrhoea properties and so it is very good for itchy scalp and dandruff
removal. One has to take a cup full of cedar wood oil and then pour a few drops
of lemon to mix it well. Then they need to apply it well on the scalp and hair.
Keep it there for at least 40 minutes to let the oil settle well on the scalp
and then rinse the hair well with a mild shampoo. One can repeat this at least
twice a week to get better results.
Garlic
This has a lot of anti bacterial and anti
fungal properties and it is amazing as a dandruff remedy. One can slice the
garlic into finely chopped pieces and then grind them or blend them to a fine
paste. Apply the paste on the scalp and roots of the hair to deal with the
itchy scalp. Keep it for 15 minutes and then shampoo it well to get a clean
hair.
Egg oil
This is an exotic oil which can be used as
a home remedy for dandruff treatment. One can buy them from local super market.
Take a few drops of egg oil and mix it well with olive oil. Then apply it
thoroughly on the hair. Keep it for an hour and then rinse it well with a mild
shampoo. Egg oil has some polyunsaturated fats and omega 3 which nourishes the
hair very well and makes the hair follicles strong from within. Also the
cholesterol present in it is good for the dandruff in the hair as it
effectively wipes away the white flakes.
Fuller’s earth
This is also known as ‘multani mitti’
commonly. It has a lot of anti bacterial and anti fungal ingredients which
results to removal of unwanted dandruff formation on the hair and scalp. One
needs to soak some fuller’s earth in a cup of water and then soften it. Apply
it on the hair and scalp and later rinse it well with a natural shampoo. It
will also bring back the shine in your hair.
There are most effective anti dandruff shampoos that can come to rescue. But one
also keep a few things in mind which are the major causes of dandruff
formation. Remember, If one does not wash their hair daily then the oil
secretion and skin cells can build up on the scalp skin which leads to dandruff
formation. There are some male hormones like androgens which can cause oily and
greasy skins and that can lead to dandruffs. Shampooing at least thrice a week
is okay. Also one needs to have a healthy diet.
