    Home Remedies for Dandruff

    There are a myriad of natural home remedies for dandruff. Chemicals in anti-dandruff shampoos have been found to be very harsh on the hair, to the extent of causing excessive dryness, making the hair weak and brittle, and even premature graying. Dandruff home remedies are therefore, suggested, as they are not only good to the hair, but they actually help in controlling the condition, in addition to helping the hair gain-back its lustrous sheen.

    Dandruff Home Remedy #1: Application of aloe vera gel on the scalp, ten minutes before shampooing the hair, is the simplest home remedy for dandruff.

    Dandruff Home Remedy #2: Massage on to the scalp, three tablespoons of warm water mixed with one tablespoon of apple juice. This is a good dandruff home remedy.

    Dandruff Home Remedy #6: Crushing 2 aspirin and mixing it with the regular amount of shampoo used, has been found to be a very effective method of curing the dandruff problem. This mixture is to be left on the hair for 1-2 minutes before rinsing. However, do ensure that all the shampoo and the aspirin mixed with it has left the hair before drying it.

    Dandruff Home Remedy #7: Massage into the scalp either warm coconut oil, margosa oil or castor oil. This should be done slowly in a gentle circular motion. Leave it overnight and wash it off the next day, preferably with a margosa based shampoo, for better results.

Rubbing lemon into the scalp and rinsing it after the hair wash will help get rid of the smell of onions.

    Dandruff Home Remedy #10: Boil an entire white beet root in water. Massage this water into the scalp, every night before sleeping. This is another good natural remedy to cure dandruff.

    Why You May Have Dandruff

    An itchy scalp affected by dandruff can have several causes. The most common ones have been enlisted below:

    * Dandruff may also be caused by an over-secretion of the sebaceous glands, or the natural oil producing glands in the scalp.
    * External conditions such as excessive heat, or cold, also tend to dry the scalp, making it more susceptible to dandruff.
    * Overuse of products such as hair styling gels and sprays, regular blow drying, hair straightening or curling, are all factors that contribute to the growth of dandruff.
    * Sometimes, imbalance in the hormones, or hormonal changes are responsible for dandruff.
    * It may come as a surprise to some, but even stress causes dandruff, as it increases the production by the oil glands in the scalp.
    * A diet full of oily and fried foods, and the common habit of not drinking enough water, serve to increase one's susceptibility to dandruff.

    You may want to use these causes as a warning and prevent the problem itself, rather than opting for innumerable treatment options and perhaps, failing at them. However, those who are already suffering from this condition, do not be disheartened. Here are some proven, effective, and inexpensive dandruff home remedies for you.
