Most of us suffer from dandruff at least once in life. Lets discuss some home treatments to get rid of dandruff.

1. Use shampoos: Of course use anti-dandruff shampoos. However, not all will help. Make sure your shampoo contains all these ingredients: coal tar, salicylic acid, pyrithione zinc, and sulfur or selenium sulfide. Each of these ingredients is vital for curing dandruff. Trial-and-error until you find a shampoo that best fits you.

Here is a good way to use anti-dandruff shampoos. First wash your scalp thoroughly, then apply shampoo on the scalp, then let the shampoo remain on your scalp for about five minutes. Then rinse your scalp thoroughly.

2. Another way to cure dandruff is by using yogurt. Before using yogurt, you should rinse your hair thoroughly and then apply yogurt on your scalp and let it sit there for at least ten to fifteen minutes. Then wash the scalp using as little shampoo as needed.

3. Herbal remedies: One herbal treatment that was invented in South Africa is this: mix borax (one of the fresh roots of the wild scabious) with an infusion in boiling water. This will create a paste for you. Just rub the paste on your scalp once a week and you will be able to cure dandruff fast. 

4. Adjust your diet - some naturopathic advocates suggest foods rich in B-vitamins can help control and prevent dandruff. They also suggest avoiding foods that are known allergens and can provoke a dandruff reaction such as chocolates, nuts and shellfish.
