Symptoms

Home remedies

• Combine 1/2 cup distilled water and 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar. Wet your hair thoroughly and rinse with the mixture, massaging into your scalp. Allow to set for at least 15 minutes.
  
• Add 8 to 10 drops of mint essential oil to 2 tbsp. liquid eucalyptus castile soap. After rinsing the water and apple cider vinegar from your hair, apply the eucalyptus soap and mint oil mixture as you would a normal shampoo. Lather and allow to set for 15 minutes.
  
• Rinse your hair in lukewarm water and towel dry. Repeat this treatment at least three times a week until the dandruff subsides.
  
• Put a squeeze of fresh lemon to your natural mint dandruff treatment to further clean pores and prevent dandruff. Lemon is a natural astringent that can help remove oily build-up and hair product residues.
  
• Tea tree oil shampoo significantly reduces dandruff. No adverse effects were reported.
• Biotin is widely used to treat dandruff. Biotin is a water soluble member of the vitamin B family, and it helps to break down fats, carbohydrates and proteins. A typical dosage of biotin for treating dandruff is 3000 mcg twice a day. In addition to biotin supplements, foods rich in biotin include brewer’s yeast, nutritional yeast, nuts, whole grains, egg yolks, liver, sardines, cauliflower, mushrooms and bananas.
