Natural Remedies for dandruff control

• Before washing your hair, rub aloe vera gel into your scalp. Leave it on for 10 minutes, and shampoo your hair as usual. Stinky and yucky but it works!
• Soak 2 tablespoons of fenugreek (methi) seeds in water overnight. In the morning grind it into a fine paste. Apply to the scalp and leave for an hour. Wash with the mild shampoo mentioned in the next tip. Smells bad but I got pretty, manageable hair for almost a week and then, BANG, back came my dandruff.
• Soak ripened fruits of soapnut (reetha) in hot water for 10-15 minutes and then crush with hand in the same water. Use this water daily as a shampoo after applying any of the dandruff packs mentioned. Good results.
• Mix 6 spoonfuls water, a spoonful of lemon juice, half a teaspoon of salt and two spoonfuls of pure vinegar. Apply on the scalp with cotton wool. After shampooing, rinse again with vinegar water. Continue this for three months. This one I personally use. It stings but believe me, IT WORKS!!
• Mix a handful of gram powder (chickpea flour) with a cup of curd and an egg to form a thick paste. Apply the paste to the hair and scalp and leave for an hour. This one gave a beautiful soft gloss to my curls. But if you don’t wash well, watch out for the stink!
• Henna mixed with old curds and lemon juice is also extremely effective in controlling dandruff. Make the paste a day before and keep on for at least two hours. Lovely burgundy highlights and dandruff-free hair guaranteed.
