Scalp Fungus Remedies

Scalp fungus can affect the health of the hair by causing hair loss, frizzy hair and flakes in the hair. There are many effective ways to treat scalp fungus at home using everyday items that are inexpensive and effective. Treating scalp fungus can reverse hair loss and reveal younger, healthy looking hair.

Anti-Dandruff Shampoo

• Use an alternating regimen of shampoos for anti dandruff that contain coal tar, salicylic acid and zinc. Alternate by using one shampoo each time you wash your hair. Begin applying the shampoo at the base of the neck working toward the left side of the head and then toward the right side of the head. Rinse the shampoo using lukewarm water.

Yeast Infection Cream

• Massage three drops of a leading cream for yeast infections. Apply the cream to the scalp. Begin at the base of the neck and work toward the left side of the head and then to the right side of the head just as if you were shampooing. Use the pads of the fingers to massage the cream deeply into the scalp. Wait five minutes before combing and brushing the hair. Use this treatment daily for one week.

Vinegar Rinse

• Use a solution of half apple cider vinegar and water daily in order to remove fungus from the hair and to prevent the buildup of dandruff in the hair. Apply the vinegar and water rinse after shampooing the hair. Begin massaging the solution into the hair at the base of the neck working toward the left side of the scalp and then toward the right side of the scalp. Leave the solution in the hair for one to five minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water.
