So you’ve tried every shampoo in the market out there and nothing seems to work for you. Now it’s the time to give a few home remedies a try. Neither will this cost you a lot of money and the effects you will see will leave you shocked. These remedies work like magic and you will find yourself coming back to them again and again.
Given below are few ingredients that work wonderfully to get rid of the annoying white flakes on your scalp and help nourish your hair from deep within the roots.
1. Aspirin: Aspirin contains an ingredient called salicylic acid which is the same ingredient that most medicated shampoos and face washes have. You can help your scalp by crushing one or two aspirins into a powder like substance and adding that to the shampoo everytime you clean your hair. All you need to do after that is leave the mixture on your hair for two or more minutes (do not keep it for longer than 3 minutes because shampoos tend to make the hair extremely dry, if kept on for long). Then you can wash it. Once you start using this regularly you will notice how aspirin works wonders for your hair, sometimes even better than the best strong anti dandruff shampoo.
- Tea tree oil: It has recently been proven than shampoos with just the minimum percentage (5%) of tea tree oil will significantly improve how severe the dandruff is. If such an anti dandruff shampoo is not available within your budget range, you can add a few drops of tea tree oil to the shampoo you use to wash your hair on a bi-weekly, weekly or everyday basis. Not just hair, tea tree oil is like a magic potion for your skin as well and makes unpleasant conditions vanish into thin air.
- Baking soda: Baking soda is a miracle powder. The same powder that you use to bake your favourite cookies and cakes can turn your hair into a flake free, healthy and devoid of itchiness, scalp. This ingredient is of utmost importance if you want to reduce the appearance of dandruff on your hair using an anti dandruff shampoo on the side. All you need to do is get a handful of baking soda in your hand and rinse your hair with it. You don’t need any shampoo nor do you need any soap. Baking soda reduces the growing of overactive fungi that causes severe dandruff. You will feel your hair getting dry at first but slowly once the layer of dandruff and fungi reduces, your scalp will start producing natural oils to make your hair softer and dandruff free.
The above remedies if used on a regular basis help in giving your hair great lustre and thickness along with getting rid of the problems caused by a recurring bout of dandruff that doesn’t quite go away with manufactured products. So what are you waiting for? Use them today!
