Dandruff

Bid adieu to dandruff

Your crowning glory looks rather shabby if first full of dandruff are visible to the world. However irritating the flaky stuff may be, there are a few home remedies that can help combat the problem.

  • Apply a mixture of vinegar and water on the scalp. Mix two teaspoons of vinegar and six teaspoons of water and apply it on the scalp before you go to bed. Keep it on for the whole night with a towel wrapped around your head. Rinse with vinegar water again in the morning. For best results, continue this treatment for a few months.
  • Use a mixture of one teaspoon of lemon juice and two teaspoons of vinegar. Massage the scalp with this solution. After the massage, treat your hair with an egg shampoo.
  • Boil a mixture of five dried thyme leaves 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 enjoy a dandruff-free head!
  • You can also soak ground fenugreek seeds overnight in water and massage the paste on the scalp, leaving it for a few minutes. Wash it afterwards using a mild shampoo.

Wash your hair with warm apple cider vinegar, leaving it on for 30-40 minutes and then rinse it with plain water. Continue this process regularly to prevent dandruff. And yes, the smell of the vinegar does evaporate!
