Dandruff

Prevention of Dandruff
Washing your hair at least three times a week.
Avoiding the use of chemicals on the scalp, such as those used in hair colouring.
Making sure that you have enough vitamins such as zinc, beta-carotene, B6, B12 and selenium in your diet.
Regular daily brushing.
Sunlight may be good for dandruff. But because exposure to ultraviolet light damages your skin and increases your risk of skin cancer, don't sunbathe.
Home Remedies for Dandruff
The use of fenugreek seeds is one of the most important remedies in the treatment of dandruff.
A valuable prescription for removal of dandruff is the use of green gram powder. The hair should be washed twice a week with two tablespoons of this powder mixed with half a cup of curd.
Create a mixture of curd, lime juice, cider, vinegar, and amla juice and apply to hair.
Apply warmed coconut oil with the juice of two lemons, and leave in hair for two hours before shampooing out.
Exposure of the head to the rays of the sun is also useful measure in the treatment of dandruff.
Rinse the hair after soaking some neem leaves in water and then filtering.
