Homemade Remedies for Dandruff
Stop Your Scalp from Flaking with These Natural Remedies
Every day our bodies shed skin. It's a natural process where we produce new skin cells and defoliate dead cells. Dandruff, though, is an excessive shedding of dead skin cells on the scalp area of the body. Normally, dandruff is caused by dry or oily skin. Although dandruff isn't a condition that requires medical attention, it can be an embarrassment. The small, white flakes of skin stand out on people who have dark hair. And, they are also readily seen if you wear a dark colored top. If you have this problem, try these homemade remedies for dandruff.
The Coconut Cure
1. Hot oil treatments are a great way to add moisture to dry, life-less hair. These treatments can also help moisturize the dry, flaky skin on a person's scalp. Pour a teasthingy of coconut oil onto your hair, and massage it into your scalp. Use your fingertips to make sure the oil reaches your scalp and covers it completely. Allow the coconut oil to set for fifteen minutes. Then, wash your hair with a delicate shampoo such as baby shampoo. Avoid using harsh shampoos that can actually strip the natural oil out of your hair. Repeat this process weekly. Not only should it alleviate your dandruff problem, but your hair should be shiny and manageable, and not dry.
You can also use mayonnaise to in place of coconut oil to help add moisture to your dry, flaky scalp. Simply place a tablesthingy of pure mayonnaise onto your head. Use both hands to work it into your hair and scalp. Wrap a towel around your head and let the mayonnaise set for fifteen to twenty minutes. Then, use a delicate shampoo to wash it out completely.
