As annoying as it may seem, dandruff is something some of us still suffer from. But the good news is, it’s curable. How?
Well first and foremost, one should understand what type of dandruff he/she has before deciding on how to tackle it. There are four major types of dandruff:
1. Excessive dryness of one’s scalp caused by extremely dry weather mostly during harmattan or due to neglect.
2. Inadequate shampooing, this causes excess sebum oil to accumulate on the scalp leading to excessive itching.
3. Yeast infection
4. Eczema
We bet you’re anxious to get rid of your embarrassing dandruff. We’ve got you covered. The best part is all the remedies are home made.
Below are the 4 ways to get rid of dandruff
1. Lime Treatment
On the last rinse after conditioning, pour a teaspoon of fresh lime juice on your hair. Work it with your fingers till it gets to your scalp, it works wonders.
2. Yoghurt Treatment
Massaging the scalp with yoghurt for about half an hour prior to washing is also known to be an effective measure. You can make it even more effective by keeping your yoghurt open for at least 3 days.
