Statistically, More than 50% of adults worldwide are affected by dandruff. Some tend to lean towards expensive, but give a temporary solution, hair care products.

Henna Pack: Henna has a lot of benefits when it comes to hair. It makes them glossy, strong, healthy and gives them color aside from mending dandruff problems. This pack is made with powdered henna, curd, and lemon juice. Prepare this at least 8 hours before application and let it rest with a plastic sheet covering it. After you apply it, leave it on for 1-2 hours and wash it off with lukewarm water.
Garlic paste: Dandruff can also be caused when many fungi, like Malassezia, grow on our scalp. Garlic has anti-fungal properties that can cure this problem with ease. All we need are a few cloves of garlic with a spoon full of honey. Blend them well until they have a smooth paste-like consistency. Apply it to your scalp 15 mins before showering. Wash it well with shampoo as garlic can leave a strong stench behind.
Green Tea Rinse: Aside from having anti-fungal properties, green tea is also rich in antioxidants that are beneficial to our hair. They help rejuvenate the health of our scalp while providing the required hydration. Just take 2 bags of green tea and put them in hot water for 20 mins. Let the water cool down before massaging it on your scalp. Rinse it off after 30 mins with only water to see the difference.
Fenugreek Seeds: Fenugreek seed or methi can be a very good preventative cure for dandruff. Prior to applying it to your scalp, let it soak overnight. The next morning smash them into a paste before adding lemon juice and mix well. Put them evenly on your scalp and let it dry for 30 mins, then wash it off with shampoo.
Olive Oil Massage: The easiest mong the rest is to apply olive oil to your scalp. It can do all sorts of benefits for your hair. Just gently massage it into your scalp and along the hair length, leave it on for 10-15 mins. Shampoo it off so that there is no residue. And all you’re left with is a lustrous set of hair.
