Natural Dandruff Remedies You Can Make at Home

Dandruff home remedies are easy to make. You don't have to buy expensive ingredients to make a dandruff cure. Here are the best natural dandruff remedies to get rid of embarrassing flakes.

The flaking, itchy scalp caused by dandruff can be embarrassing as well as uncomfortable. Using natural remedies to treat it can help you avoid using harsh chemical laden shampoos. Here are some of the best natural dandruff remedies:

Diet

Eating right is an important part of dandruff home remedies. Make sure you're getting enough essential fatty acids (omega 3) from flax or oily fish. You can take them in pill form if you want. vitamin B6 can help prevent dandruff. You can get B6 from eggs, flax seed, cabbage, and nuts.

Tea Tree Oil Shampoo

You can buy tea tree shampoo at most health food stores or you can make it yourself. It isn't that hard to do. All you need is some tea tree oil and a bottle of unscented all natural shampoo. Add 2 drops of tea tree essential oil per fluid ounce of shampoo. You can add other essential oils to make it smell nice. Now put the lid on and shake it up well to mix the ingredients.

Apple Cider Vinegar

Most people have a bottle of apple cider vinegar in their kitchen cupboard. This all natural vinegar can be used to make a great dandruff treatment. Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of water. Pour the mixture on your head and then massage it into your scalp. Let it sit for 15 minutes to an hour, and then wash it out. You can do this once or twice a week. I do it weekly. It leaves my hair looking very shiny.

Vinegar Rinse Recipe

If you want something a little more complicated here's one of the best dandruff home remedies.

• 2 cups distilled water
• 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
• 4 tablespoons dried rosemary
• 1 tablespoon dried nettle
• 10 drops essential oil (tea tree, clary sage or rosemary)

Put water and vinegar in a pan and bring to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and add the dried herbs. Let it steep for 2 hours. Strain out the herbs and add the essential oil. After shampooing your hair apply 1/4 cup of the mixture to your scalp and massage it in. Leave for 3 minutes and rinse out with cool water. If you're not shampooing your hair just wet your hair, squeeze out the excess water and apply the mixture.

Coconut Oil Dandruff Home Remedies

Both of these dandruff home remedies use one of my favorite oils.

Here's what you need:

• 1 tablespoon glyercin
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 table coconut oil
• 1 egg

Combine the ingredients in a bowl. Mix well. Put the mixture on your scalp and let it sit for an hour. Wash it out. Do this once a week.

You could also mix 3 tablespoons of lime juice with 1/4 cup coconut oil. Massage the mixture into your scalp and leave it for 1 hour. Wash it out.

Aloe Vera

Massage aloe vera gel into your scalp at night before you go to bed. Wash it out in the morning.

Drinking aloe vera juice daily can also help.

Olive and Almond Oil

Mix equal parts of olive oil and almond oil. Massage into your scalp. Leave it on for 5 minutes then wash it out.
