There are tons of home brew dandruff cures out there, every family likely knows of a different one that they will swear by to cure dandruff. Here I’ll list some of the most commonly recommended concoctions.
1Boil a mixture of 4-5 dried thyme and two cups of water for 10 minutes. When the mixture cools down, massage it on the scalp and leave it for half an hour. Wash it afterwards and see the results. You will have a dandruff-free head.
2Use baking soda into the hair and scalp to absorb oil and to loosen dead skin on scalp. While initially the hair may seem dry, after several weeks, dandruff will be gone and hair will be smooth and shiny.
3Take two eggs and break it and then add two tablespoons of water to it. Wet the hair and apply the egg mixture over the hair. Wait for ten minutes to fifteen minutes. Then rinse the hair with lukewarm water. This will keep both dandruff and hair fall problem away from you.
4Mix 1 egg with 1 cup of yogurt and apply the mixture on the scalp. Leave it for ½ an hour and then wash it.
5People should avoid spicy and greasy food because it helps dandruff to increase and spread. People should add more vegetables and fruits on the diet. It is very essential to take fresh foods avoid taking tinned and canned foods add more green vegetables and fruits.
6Avoid or decrease your intake of fried foods, dairy products, sugar, chocolate and nuts.

Before you shampoo your hair soak it in vinegar for ten minutes then rinse it out. The vinegar gets rid of the dandruff and as a bonus adds some shine to your hair at the same time.
