Dandruff home cures Many cosmetic shampoos that claim to clear dandruff contain unnecessary chemicals and perfumes. These chemicals only serve to irritate your scalp further and so aggravate the condition. I suggest that you use a medicated shampoo instead. Your best bet would be to use a shampoo that contains ketoconazole. Ketoconazole kills the pityrosporum ovale fungus which is the root cause of dandruff. Washing your hair daily can leave your scalp dry and flaky. Ketoconazole remains in the hair even after your rinse it out. This means that you will not have to wash your hair on a daily basis, thereby preserving your hair's natural oils.
After your dandruff has cleared try to use a nourishing hair masque made out of egg yolk and milk. This will help to nourish your scalp and smoothen your hair. You can soak your hair and scalp in beet root juice at least once a month. This will prevent or reduce the risk of dandruff recurring. Make sure that you oil your hair regularly. You can steam your hair after oiling it as this will help to increase the amount of oil absorbed by your hair. Make sure that you do not share your hair brushes and combs with anyone else and clean it at least twice a month.
