Last week we debunked some of the myths that surround dandruff. A lot of people learnt a great deal and some of us asked for a post on how to treat this "EP" (enemy of progress) called Dandruff.
Below is a list of self treatments you can try in the comfort of your homes.
1. Aloe Vera Gel : We all know that Aloe Vera serves as a relief balm for different ailments like rashes, sores and burns. What we do not know that it is also a relief for Dandruff and scalp issues.
Ingredients:
A bottle of Aloe Vera gel.
Direction:
Apply Aloe Vera gel to your scalp before shampooing,leave in for 20 minutes, shampoo and condition as usual.
2. Vinegar Rinse : Vinegar Rinse is an effective way to treat dandruff. Vinegar gets rid of dead cells that turns into dandruff.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup of warm water
Directions:
Mix the ingredients together, pour all over your hair making sure it covers your entire hair, scrub gently and then Rinse out. Repeat this every other day.
3. Eat healthy: The importance of a good diet cannot be over emphasized. It is vital in every aspect of our well being. Fatty foods and junk food should be avoided. Eat more of protein ( fish, beans and eggs). They help grow the hair and keep the hair healthy.
-Vegetables : Eating green vegetables like lettuces and broccoli help encourage healthy hair.
- Fish oils : fish oil supplements help prevent and reduces the severity of it.
4. Lemon rinse : Fresh lemon juice contains acids that destroys the fungus that causes dandruff.
Ingredients:
3 tbs of lemon juice
1 cup of water
Directions:
Mix your ingredients and massage 3/4 into your hair and scalp. Let it sit for few minutes and rinse out with the remaining part of your mixture.
I have heard a lot of people say dandruff is not treatable and those that claim it's treatable say it keeps coming back. I don't know if that is true but I know there are lots of ways to manage and prevent it. I believe if you try one of these remedies you would definitely see a change.
Please let's know which remedy worked for you.
We love hearing from you
