Instructions

• 1

  Peel the skin off of three lemons and submerge the lemon peels into eight ounces of coconut oil for two days. Apply this mixture directly to your scalp before showering. Allow it to sit on your scalp for 20 minutes before washing your hair with your normal shampoo and conditioner. Repeat this process three times a week until your dandruff has subsided.

• 2

  Combine six tablespoons of warm water with two tablespoons of cosmetic vinegar in a bowl. Dip your cotton pad into this solution, ensuring that it is adequately drenched with the solution. Apply directly to your scalp before going to sleep. Your scalp only needs to be dampened by this solution; you don't want your hair to be dripping wet. Wash your hair with your normal shampoo and conditioner the next morning. Repeat on a nightly basis until your dandruff is gone.

  Mix three tablespoons of beetroot juice, two tablespoons of cosmetic vinegar and two tablespoons of ginger juice into a bowl. Stir the ingredients and then dip your cotton pad into the solution. Rub this mixture directly onto your scalp, focusing on areas that cause you the most dandruff on a daily basis. Let soak on your scalp for thirty minutes before washing clean with warm water and shampoo.

  Combine two tablespoons of hot water with two tablespoons of raw apple juice. With a cotton pad, apply the mixture directly to your scalp and massage with your fingers for five minutes. Allow the mixture to soak into your scalp for 15 minutes after massaging and then rinse it clean with warm water. Continue treatment three days a week until your dandruff is gone.

  Add three tablespoons of fresh olive oil to three tablespoons of almond oil in a bowl. Use a cotton pad to apply it directly to your scalp. Dip your fingers into the solution and massage your scalp until the entire area is covered with the mixture. Leave this treatment in for five minutes (you'll feel a slight tingling sensation) and then rinse clean with warm water.
