Dandruff home remedies First of all, you need to slow down — there are no quick remedies for any health problem. Most products that claim to work fast either end up taking much longer or do not work at all, and at worst can even cause harmful side effects. With dandruff there are unlikely to be any harmful side effects, but still, any treatment that really and permanently solves the problem is bound to take some time.
Dandruff is basically flaking of the skin on the scalp. Some amount of flaking of dead skin cells is normal for everyone, but with dandruff, the amount of flaking increases, making it particularly noticeable and unpleasant. Sometimes, there is also itching and mild inflammation, in which case there is probably some sort of fungal infection that is causing the problem.
To get rid of any possible fungal infection, you should start rinsing your hair with a solution of vinegar and water daily.
In addition, start oiling your hair using warm coconut oil about an hour before you wash your hair. Use a shampoo for dry hair, and leave the shampoo in for at least 3 minutes before washing it off. Preferably, start using an anti-dandruff shampoo. Note that none of these measures will work “fast” — you need to use them regularly for at least two weeks before any results show.
