Natural remedies for dandruff in men

While women suffer from dandruff problems because of an oily scalp, chemically exposed hair etc. men mostly suffer from dry dandruff problems because of environmental pollutants. Since men are comparatively more exposed to the environment than women, they are more prone to dirt, smoke and other hazards which affect their scalp’s health.

Treating dandruff with natural ingredients will give maximum benefits than going in for chemical treatments that are offered at salons for the most expensive budgets.

• Mix in fine powdered pepper corns to a tablespoon of thick curds. Apply this mixture on your scalp and leave it on for 30-40 minutes before you rinse it out with a mild shampoo. Let your hair naturally dry after the wash. Avoid hair dryers.
• Olive oil is the next savior. You can either opt to massage your scalp with warm olive oil the previous night and let your hair soak in the oil before you wash it out the next morning. If you don’t prefer staying with oil overnight, apply warm olive oil to your scalp, give your scalp a massage and wrap around a warm turkey towel on your hair. Leave it on for 15 minutes and then wash your hair with a mild shampoo.
• You can also opt for the ‘in-trend’ apple cider vinegar. Massage cider vinegar into your scalp and leave it on for 15 minutes before washing your hair. You can also opt to mix a teaspoon of this vinegar to your last cup of water for best results.
