Dandruff is caused by the dead skin of the head flaking off and some amount of skin cells flaking off is common. However a large amount of dandruff may be due to fungal infection, stress or change in weather ( it is more common in winter). It can cause irritation of the skin and itching. Some of the home remedies for treating dandruff are: 1. Apply warm coconut oil to the scalp for some time. Then apply lemon juice. Mix one teaspoon methi seed powder, with the mehandi (henna) paste and apply on the scalp. After an hour, rinse well to remove oily residues and wash the hair. 2. Soak one tablespoon of
fenugreek seeds overnight in water. Grind them into a paste. Apply the
paste on the hair for an hour and wash it off using a mild shampoo like
Johnson's baby or green apple shampoo from Biotique. 3. Lime juice can clear the
dandruff caused by a fungal infection. 4. Apple cider vinegar is an
effective home remedy for treatment of dandruff. The liquid can be applied
to the scalp by hand or sprayed onto the scalp. It should be left on the
scalp for several hours or overnight to be effective, since it acts as a
fungicide.
