Dandruff can be controlled by following a healthy hair care routine. You can also try some simple natural home remedies. It is true that natural remedies take time to show results but they can effectively treat the problem completely.
Indian Lilac (Neem)
Boil a handful of neem leaves in four cups of water. Cool and strain the solution. Use this decoction as a hair rinse two or three times a week.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil helps eliminate dandruff due to its antifungal properties. It also moisturizes dry scalp and provides relief from itching. Take some coconut oil and mix half the amount of lemon juice in it. Rub it on your scalp and massage for a few minutes. Wash your hair after at least 20 minutes. Follow this remedy two to three times a week.
Apple Cider Vinegar
Scalp treatment with apple cider vinegar is effective in getting rid of dandruff. It also works as a natural hair clarifier and helps clean clogged pores and hair follicles. Take two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar. Mix an equal amount of water and 15-20 drops of tea tree oil in it. Apply it onto your scalp and massage. Rinse your hair after a few minutes. Follow this natural treatment two or three times a week.

Baking Soda
It can also help balance pH levels on the scalp and reduce the growth of fungi that cause dandruff. Wet your hair and rub a handful of baking soda onto your scalp. After a couple of minutes, rinse your hair well with warm water. Repeat once or twice a week for a few weeks. Note: Do not shampoo your hair after this treatment.
White Vinegar
Add one-half cup of vinegar to two cups of water. Rinse your hair with this mixture after shampooing your hair. Another option is massage your scalp with a mixture of two parts white vinegar, one part olive oil and three parts water. After 10 minutes, rinse it off and shampoo your hair using a mild shampoo. Follow either of these remedies once or twice a week.
