Natural Anti-Dandruff Remedies

Have you suffered from flaky, itchy scalp? Don´t worry, you are not alone and the best part is that there are many natural anti dandruff remedies that will help you to get rid of them once and for all. Sensitive, flaky scalp is one of the main causes of dandruff. Check out these 5 very interesting natural anti-dandruff remedies:
1. CHAMOMILE TEA RINSE
People with sensitive skin often suffer from dry, flaky scalp as well and since there is no yeast overgrowth or dermatitis you need to cure in this case, all you’ll have to do is focus on moisturizing and soothing your poor scalp with the anti-inflammatory and soothing effects of chamomile tea, apply after washing your hair, and wash out with warm water.

2. APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND HYDROGEN PEROXIDE
One of the best natural anti dandruff remedies ever, this is because both vinegar and peroxide have anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties that deal with yeast overgrowth, which is one of the most frequent causes of dandruff.
Mix the peroxide solution (harmless 3% solution) with vinegar and clean, filtered water (1 part peroxide, 1 part vinegar, 10 parts water), apply it on your scalp, and leave it for 15 minutes before rinsing.

3. TEA TREE OIL
Tea tree oil helps control excess sebum and, when mixed with Aloe Vera oil in the 1:1 ratio, creates one of the most potent natural anti dandruff remedies, try it yourself.

4. BAKING SODA
Wash your hair with baking soda, also known as bicarbonate, it is an alkaline solution which raises the PH value of your scalp, making it less acidy and, therefore, not the ideal place for yeast to thrive in.
