Afraid to wear black because of your dandruff problem? There are many ways to cure dandruff so don't give up hope. Try the home remedies and if you need to there is always medicated shampoos for the problem.

Don't be embarrassed by your itchy, peeling scalp. Follow these tips to keep dandruff away.

You Will Need

  * Two aspirin

  * Shampoo

  * Baking soda

  * A saltshaker

  * Salt

  * Dandruff shampoo

  * A dermatologist

  * Relaxation

  * Patience



Step 1: Crush two aspirins in shampoo

Crush two aspirin to a fine powder and add it to your regular shampoo. Wait one to two minutes, and then rinse and wash with your regular shampoo.

Step 2: Replace shampoo with baking soda

Replace your shampoo with baking soda. Wet your hair and, instead of shampoo, rub a handful of baking soda into your scalp. Then thoroughly rinse and dry your hair.

After a few weeks, your scalp will produce natural oils, leaving your scalp free from dandruff.

Step 3: Shake salt on scalp

Before shampooing, shake some salt onto your scalp. Massage it into your scalp for a couple minutes, and then rinse and shampoo.

Step 4: Use dandruff shampoo

Decrease oil and cell buildup by washing your hair with a dandruff shampoo.

Use the shampoo that works best for your condition.

Step 5: Consult a doctor

Consult a doctor or dermatologist about medicated lotions and shampoos if over-the-counter products are not effective.

Step 6: Cut back on hair products

Cut back on styling gels, hair sprays, and mousses to avoid buildup on your hair and scalp.

Step 7: Learn to relax

Relax and be patient. Stress can trigger dandruff or worsen existing symptoms.

Seborrheic dermatitis is a skin disorder that affects the scalp, causing itching, mild redness, skin scales, and dandruff.
