There are wonderful home remedies to get rid of dandruff permanently, naturally and quickly. If you are suffering from dandruff, please don’t worry, even I suffered from dandruff when I was young and I got it rid of it quickly with home remedies.
The most common symptoms of dandruff are appearance of excessive amount of white flakes in the scalp and extreme itchiness. For me, it was mild itchiness and flakiness and once I started using home remedies, it stopped very quickly.
Dandruff can be caused due to variety of reasons. It can be due to stress, poor diet, fungal infection, not washing hair often and even certain medications can cause dandruff.
# Aloe VeraTake a tbsp of fresh aloe vera gel in a bowl. Now add in the juice of half a lemon to it and use it as a hair pack. Both aloe vera and lemon have anti fungal and anti bacterial properties that helps treat dandruff really fast.
If you don’t have fresh aloe vera, you can use store bought gel but I would suggest using fresh aloe vera gel for best results.
