Top 5 Natural ways to clear dandruff

Dandruff is one of the main causes of hair fall. First let us understand what actually causes dandruff? It is the result of dry scalp because of lack of nutrition and factors such as exposure to sun, excessive use of shampoo, using hot water to wash your hair, exposure to hot humid temperature, etc. In short dandruff is the result of your dry scalp getting rid of dead skin cells.

Using blowers or dryer after a shower to dry your hair can also cause dry scalps. Besides excessive use of hair products (products like Gatsby Gel) are also the cause for your dry scalp. So if you are fighting dandruff than try avoiding excessive use of chemicals and follow these simple natural methods of clearing dandruff permanently.

One of the oldest and the most effective method to get rid of dandruff naturally is using Yogurt.  Regular use of Yogurt not just gets rid of dandruff naturally but also makes your hair healthy and smooth. All you need is to apply a bit of yogurt unto your scalp and leave it for 10-15 minutes. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight. After 15 minutes rinse it up thoroughly and if required use some mild shampoo (just to get rid of the pungent smell).  Repeat it once every 2-3 weeks and see the result yourself.

Second on the list is the use of lemon juice. Lemon juice has proven to contain strong anti-dandruff properties and using it regularly can get rid of dandruff naturally. The process of use is simple and easy. All you need is to take ample quantity of lemon juice in a bowl and massage it gently into the scalp. Leave it for 10-15 minutes and rinse of thoroughly. Use a mild shampoo if required.

Next in the list is the use of Mehndi (known as Henna to the western part of the world). Mehndi or Henna also can be used to get rid of Dandruff naturally. Using Henna is a bit more difficult than the use of Yogurt or Lemon juice but the results are really effective and it’s worth the time consumed. So if you are thinking of trying out Mehndi or Henna than you need to take out at least 40-45 minutes of time for the process to be effective.Use of Henna not just clears the dandruff but give the hair a smooth shine and if applied for over 30-45 minutes it can also give the hair a reddish colour.

If you want that reddish color than you need to mix henna in warm water (add a bit of coffee powder to get that extra reddish shine on your hair) and leave it overnight. The next morning apply it thickly on your hair (try penetrating your hair and applying ample mehndi on your scalp). Leave it for 20-25 minutes if you are just working to get rid of dandruff and over 40-45 minutes if you are also working on the hair color. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight.

All these natural ways not just helps you get rid of dandruff but also avoid your exposure to those harmful chemical anti-dandruff products which just claims big and instead of clearing dandruff destroys your hair completely.
