Home Remedies to Cure Dandruff


Dandruff is a common complaint, especially in the winters.
Since most people wash their hair with warm water during the winter season, this often causes the scalp to become dry and flaky. A few home remedies you could try to get rid of dry as well as sticky dandruff:
-Soak two tablespoons of fenugreek (methi) seeds in water overnight. Grind into a fine paste in the morning, apply on the scalp and leave for half an hour. Wash off, preferably with a soap-nut (ritha) solution. Use the water in which the seeds were soaked as an after-shower hair tonic. Follow this regimen twice a week for the first two weeks and once a week for another two weeks.
-Squeeze a teaspoon of fresh lime juice into the last rinse while washing your hair.
-Make a paste of lemon juice and fuller's earth and apply this mixture to the scalp once a week.
-Keep curd in the open for three days and massage your hair with it for half an hour before washing.
-Mix cider vinegar with equal quantities of water and dab onto the scalp with cotton wool before washing.
