Take an equal amounts of dried shikakai, amla and ritha. Mix well and powder them. Take some water and soak 2-3 handfuls of this mixture over night. Be sure that it should not be too thin. Next day sieve it and use it to wash hair. This helps in hair growth and also cures dandruff.

Crush a tablespoon of fenugreek seeds in about 5 tablespoons of warm coconut or olive oil. It would be better to boil them in the oil. Cool the mixture and apply generously all over the scalp. Leave it on for two hours. Rinse and wash off.

Hi Miley, Guess I can help you here.. 1st thing, you need to understand that dandruff is not a disease, but an aggravated physiological activity of your own body, and hence it is not really possible to cure it with any medicine or shampoo. What the shampoos normally do is remove the visible flakes and make you happy for a while and of course the scales return after a while. What we can do is try to get to the root of the issue. I'll just tell certain things that trigger dandruff; see if any of these apply to you and then try to change or escape that causative agent. 1. Dandruff happens mostly at puberty: Due to the increased hormonal activities, imbalances are created in the body and can result in dandruff in susceptible individuals. There is nothing much you can do to escape if this is the case, except controlling the flaking and timing it out till may be like age 20. 2. Dandruff gets triggered by dry climate. This is one thing that most people don't notice. Is your living quarters too dry? If so get a humidifier installed in your living room/ multiple rooms. That does help. As winters tend to be drier, there is an increased occurrence of dandruff during winters. 3. Are you using too many hair styling gels/ does the one you use contain alcohol. Hair styling products are known to trigger the occurrence of dandruff, so just check that too. 4. Are you too stressed out? Stress does cause increased dandruff. Actually, you must avoid stress not just to curb dandruff, but to save yourself from a host of other ailments that can affect the quality of your life. 5. Are you taking regular hot/ warm water baths? If so, avoid getting the hot/warm water on to your scalp. They don't go well together. From my personal experience, I have had a return of dandruff each time I've broken this rule. There are many more reasons why you could get dandruff, and the ultimate solution in preventing the recurrence lies in finding your personal trigger and avoiding/ eliminating it. To give you a jump start and get the flakes removed quicker, I would suggest using Nizoral Anti Dandruff Shampoo, but do shift to more natural methods once you get to know the trigger that is causing it.

Dandruff is caused by bacteria and eats at your scalp and causes it to flake up. True dandruff is not "dry scalp" or dry skin. It is a real medical condition, you need to see a doctor to get prescription shampoo to cure it. However in the meantime use something like Selsum Blue (not the other dandruff shampoos, they don't work),. You can catch dandruff from someone else or re-infect yourself so make your and sanitize all your combs and brushes with bleach water or something similar and don't share these items!
