Dandruff can be treated with special, medicated shampoos, there are a number of home remedies that you can try to cure your dry and flaky scalp.


You must maintain a certain level of hygiene and you must shampoo regularly. You should also try and avoid using any sort of styling gels and creams because these only make your scalp oilier and increase the chances of your dandruff becoming worse.

You can also mix apple cider vinegar with water and use this to clean your scalp. If you add a few drops of the essential oil of lavender, the solution becomes more beneficial. You should stop taking on stress and spend more time out in the sun because the sunlight might help treat the dandruff. Boil a half a tablespoon of chamomile flowers in some water and wash your hair with this mixture.
