Deepti as you hae stated lemon application, I have been told that it whitens your hair if applied directly on scalp.....
Secondly i have visited a skin specialist recently and he told me that there is no permanent treatment for dandruff, it can only be cleaned....
While controllable, dandruff can be persistent and requires consistent treatment. There are several types of over-the-counter shampoos available for treating dandruff. If you try one and it doesn't have the desired effect, move on to the next. Following are four common types of dandruff shampoos:
* Zinc pyrithione shampoos, such as American Crew Anti Dandruff Shampoo and Head & Shoulders, contain an antibacterial and antifungal agent (zinc pyrithione) which has been shown to fight the fungus that causes dandruff.
* Selenium sulfide shampoos, such as Selsun Blue, can prevent cell turnover and may help control the malassezia fungus. These types of shampoos may discolor blond or gray hair and can cause significant discoloration in chemically treated hair, so follow the directions carefully and rinse well.
* Ketoconazole shampoo, like Nizoral, contains a broad antifungal agent.
* Tar-based shampoos, such as Neutrogena T/Gel, contain coal tar, which slows cell turnover and reduces the formation of dandruff's scaly flakes.
Use of these shampoos above is recommended daily until dandruff is controlled. Once the dandruff is under control, use dandruff shampoo two or three times a week, alternating with a good moisturizing shampoo. If the dandruff shampoo loses its effectiveness, switch to another type of shampoo or try alternating between types. Be sure to follow directions carefully. Should over the counter treatments fail, see your dermatologist. Stronger treatments are available by prescription.

@ kavita
Dandruff is very curable if you understand what really causes it, and how to treat it naturally. In no time, you will have healthier hair without the white stuff.
