Simple and effective DIY hair mask for dandruff:
Common treatments for dandruff include using medicated shampoos that contain ingredients like zinc pyrithione, coal tar, salicylic acid, and ketoconazole. These shampoos work by slowing down the growth of the fungus and reducing inflammation on the scalp.
Other home remedies for dandruff include using natural ingredients like tea tree oil, apple cider vinegar, and coconut oil, which have antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe the scalp and reduce dandruff.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- 10 drops of tea tree oil
Instructions:
- Mix the coconut oil, apple cider vinegar, and tea tree oil in a bowl until well combined.
- Apply the mixture to your scalp and massage it in gently.
- Cover your head with a shower cap or towel and leave the mask on for 30 minutes.
- Rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water and shampoo as usual.
Coconut oil contains antifungal properties that can help combat the yeast that causes dandruff. Apple cider vinegar helps to balance the pH of your scalp, and tea tree oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe scalp irritation and reduce inflammation.
Use this hair mask once a week to help control dandruff and promote a healthy scalp.
