Natural methods to remove dandruff

Dandruff is a serious problem for women, as well as men. It is the reason why the demand for anti-dandruff shampoos is growing exponentially day by day. This article is particularly for those who, even after trying almost every chemical available in the market, have failed to find a long lasting solution for their dandruff problem. In this edition, some highly effective natural methods to remove dandruff are shared.

First of all, it is important to understand that dandruff is not a serious issue. Once that is understood, almost half of the problem is solved. Only the other half needs medication.

Coconut Oil

It is easily available in this part of the world as the land is abundantly blessed with coconut trees. It is a well known fact that coconut oil is a rich source of various vitamins and minerals. It is good to apply coconut oil on scalp daily. It reduces fungal growth. It has anti-inflammatory properties. It can definitely contain your dandruff problem.

Take a spoon of slightly warm coconut oil. Rub it gently on the inside of your palm. Using that oiled side of the palm, slowly massage your scalp. It gives you a relaxing feeling. After the massage, wash it off with water. Repeat it daily. The result will definitely  surprise you.

Tea Tree Oil

From time immemorial, people know that tea tree oil has certain medicinal properties and can be used for treating acne, dermatitis and similar skin problems. It is the presence of terpinen-4-ol that makes this oil different from the others and that enhances its relevance as an anti-dandruff item. This compound, which is present in the oil, can help reduce dandruff. It achieves it by fighting the growth of fungi and bacteria. 

It is not advised to use the oil directly to scalp as it can cause irritation. Take a few drops of tea tree oil. Pour it into the shampoo that you use. Apply that shampoo to the scalp gently. Wash it off after few minutes with water. Use it weekly once.

Lemongrass oil

It is not advised to use the oil directly on scalp. Pour few drops of the oil on a mug of water in order to dilute it. Apply the diluted oil on your scalp slowly. Wash it off with water. Do it once in a week. Like the case of the aforesaid tea tree oil, the shampoo method can also be used with this oil.

Aloe Vera gel
