Causes of dandruff

Home Remedies for Dandruff:
Dandruff treatment using Fenugreek Seeds
The use of fenugreek seeds is one of the most important remedies in the treatment of dandruff.Two tablespoons of these seeds should be soaked overnight in water and ground into a fine paste in the morning.This paste should be applied all over the scalp and left for half an hour.The hair should then be washed thoroughly with soap-nut(ritha)solution or shikakai.
Dandruff treatment using Lime
The use of a teaspoon of fresh lime juice for the last rinse,while washing the hair,is another useful remedy.This not only leaves the hair glowing but also removes stickiness and prevents dandruff.
Dandruff treatment using Green Gram Powder
A valuable prescription for removal of dandruff is the use of green gram powder.The hair should be washed twice a week with two tablespoons of this powder mixed with half a cup of curd.
Dandruff treatment using Beet
Beets have been found useful in dandruff.Both tops and roots should be boiled in water and this water should be massaged into the scalp with the finger tips every night.White beet is better for this purpose.
Dandruff treatment using Snake Gourd
The juice of snake gourd has been found beneficial in the prevention and treatment of dandruff.The juice should be rubbed over the scalp for this purpose.
Dandruff treatment using Other Remedies
Dandruff can be removed by massaging the hair for half an hour with curd which has been kept in the open for three days,or with a few drops of lime juice mixed with amla juice every night,before going to bed.Another measure which helps to counteract dandruff is to dilute cider vinegar with an equal quantity of water and dab this on to the hair with cotton wool inbetween shampooing.Cider vinegar added to the final rinsing water after shampooing also helps to disperse dandruff.
