1) Yogurt
Start by washing and rinsing your hair. Next apply plain yogurt on your scalp and leave it on for 15 – 20 minutes. Finally, rinse it off and wash your hair again with the minimum amount of shampoo.
2) Salt
Salt can help exfoliate your scalp to get rid of excess oil and dead skin flakes. Simply rub 3 teaspoons of salt onto your scalp and massage gently for up to 5 minutes. Then wash your hair like usual with shampoo.
3) Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe Vera’s antifungal and antibacterial properties makes it an ideal candidate for dandruff control. Just apply aloe vera gel onto your scalp 10 minutes before your shower. Then wash your hair like usual with shampoo. You should do this twice a day.
4) Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil has antifungal properties and best of all it can relieve the itch caused by dandruff. The easiest way to use this remedy is to shop for shampoos with at least 5% of tea tree oil in them. Wash and shampoo your hair like usual but make sure to massage the tea tree oil shampoo onto your scalp. Leave it on your scalp for at least 5 minutes while you brush your teeth or continue your shower. Rinse off after.
5) Lemon Juice
The high acidity in lemons makes them effective natural dandruff killers. Plus they make your hair smell good too. Spread some lemon juice on your hand and proceed to massage your scalp with it. Make sure you cover your whole scalp. Let it sit for about ½ hour. You may experience some itching as the lemon juice starts working its magic but that’s normal. The final step is to wash and shampoo your hair thoroughly.
6) Baking Soda
Baking soda to the rescue again! So what you’re going to do for this remedy to work is to replace your regular shampoo with baking soda for 2 weeks. Mix up 1 teaspoon of baking soda for every glass of warm water until you have enough “baking soda shampoo” for your hair length. Wash and shampoo your hair like usual with your new “baking soda shampoo” making sure you massage your scalp thoroughly. You should start seeing positive results in about 2 weeks when your scalp starts producing natural oils that acts as a moisturizer, keeping you free from dandruff.
7) Apple Cider Vinegar
Dilute Apple Cider Vinegar (or white vinegar) with an equal amount of warm water. After you’re done shampooing your hair, use the diluted apple cider vinegar on your scalp by applying it with your hands. Leave it on for 15 minutes then rinse it off with water. If you experience any burning sensation, it means you have an open wound in that area (and you should just rinse that area immediately with water). Use this remedy daily for 1 full week.
8) Coconut Oil
Wash and dry your hair like normal but do not apply any conditioner. Apply coconut oil on your scalp and leave it on for about 20 minutes. Wash your hair to get the coconut oil out. You may have to wash it for about 2 times before you can get all the oil out. Use this remedy twice a week until you’re dandruff-free.
9) Egg Yolks
Mix 2 egg yolks together and beat them thoroughly. Apply the mixture to your scalp and let it sit for an hour, then wash it out thoroughly.
10) Baby Oil
Apply baby oil to your scalp and leave it on overnight. Use an anti-dandruff shampoo to wash your hair in the morning.
