Dandruff may be the result of a dry scalp, or a skin condition called
seborrheic dermatitis. It could also be caused by eczema, psoriasis, or,
very commonly, an overgrowth of a yeastlike fungus called malassezia.
Drugstore remedies might include shampoos with zinc pyrithione, which
targets fungus and bacteria; ketoconazole, which also fights fungus;
coal tar and selenium sulfide, which slow the growth and die-off of skin
cells on your scalp; and salicylic acid, which loosens flakes so they
can be washed away. For natural treatments, read on.
Aspirin
Aspirin contains
the same active ingredient (salicylic acid) as many medicated
dandruff
shampoos. Keep flaking in check by crushing two aspirins to a fine
powder and adding it to the normal amount of shampoo you use each time
you wash your hair. Leave the mixture on your hair for 1-2 minutes, then
rinse well and wash again with plain shampoo.
Tea tree oil
One study showed that shampoos with just 5 percent
tea tree oil
significantly improves the severity of
dandruff. You can also add a few
drops of tea tree oil to your favorite shampoo as you wash normally.
Baking soda
Your kitchen could hold the key to an itch-free, flake-free scalp. Wet your hair and then rub a handful of
baking soda
vigorously into your scalp. Skip the shampoo and go right to rinsing.
Baking soda reduces overactive fungi that can cause dandruff. Your hair
may get dried out at first, but after a few weeks your scalp will start
producing natural oils, leaving your hair softer and free of flakes.
okay so how to get rid of dandruff naturally
