Struggling with dandruff? Many of us do. Dandruff can be caused by a variety of reasons: from poor hygiene and low-quality hair products, to fungal infections, eczema, psoriasis or other serious health conditions.
Depending on the reasons for your struggles with dandruff, you should get your scalp checked by a dermatologist to rule out any serious problems.
The 3 herbal blends mentioned below will work for most people as they are to be used topically only and can be used in combination with medicated shampoo.
Coconut with Lemon:
Lemon is a key ingredient in most of the hair care remedies.
Mix the juice of a full lemon
4 Tbsp of warm coconut oil (do not microwave)
Apply on the scalp
Massage and cover your head with a plastic bag
Leave it for 30 mins
Shampoo and set as normal
Aloe Vera:
Ideally you want to find fresh aloe from the
thick plant leaves but if that’s not available, you can buy a high-quality
extract in your local health food store.
Use 5-6 Tbsps of gel extract and apply in your scalp only late at night
Let it dry out a little before going to bed, leaving it overnight
Shampoo and set as normal in the morning.
Camphor Oil with Coconut oil:
This remedy is skin friendly and coconut has anti-fungal properties so it gives you a one-two punch approach to help your scalp heal.
Mix 1 Tbsp of camphor or a single camphor tablet (if they come in hard tablets, warm them up first until it melts)
Add 4-5 Tbsp of coconut oil
Keep in a small bottle and apply nightly to the scalp
