Home Remedies for Removing Dandruff
- Causes of dandruff include alkaline-rated shampoos and soaps, yeast infections, fungus, zinc deficiency or poor nutrition. There are two types of dandruff: dry dandruff causes the head to itch, and the skin of the scalp flakes into small white scales; waxy dandruff is caused when the sebum is mixed with the epidermis and scales are mixed together to form patches of dandruff scales. Home remedies can help remove the unsightly dandruff and leave your scalp clean and free of scales.
Oil Therapy
- Use coconut oil and one lemon to remove dandruff. Juice the lemon. Heat the oil and lemon in a pan on the stove and take to the bathroom. Let sit until it is quite warm, but comfortable to the touch. Place a towel in the oven on a cookie sheet to heat while waiting for the oil to cool. Apply the hot oil treatment to the hair and scalp. Gently work the oil into the scalp with massaging fingers. Get the towel from the oven and wrap the towel around the hair and let it sit for 10 minutes. Wash the hair with a mild shampoo when done.
Beer Therapy
Beer, which contains plenty of vitamin B and yeast, can help do battle with whatever’s causing your dandruff (including killing off a nasty fungal infection). Rinse your hair with a few ounces of beer every night to help revitalize your scalp.
Egg Therapy
- Use two beaten eggs with two tablespoons of water. Apply the egg mixture to the scalp and gently massage the mixture into the scalp. Allow the mixture to remain in the hair for 15 minutes. Use lukewarm water to rinse the mixture out of the hair. The mixture works to remove hair fall and dandruff.
Vinegar Therapy
- Use 1/2 cup of white vinegar and 1/2 cup of water. Mix the two together. Apply the mixture to dry hair and massage into the scalp. Rinse the vinegar mixture from the hair with warm water. Wash hair with a mild shampoo and conditioner. Use this mixture twice a week before shampooing the hair.
