Handy Tips to Keep Dandruff - Part 2

We learnt "What To Do" in our yesterday's article, now...

What To Avoid :

1.   Do not brush wet hair as it will only cause the hair to stretch and finally break. Finger-dry, or use a wide-toothed comb instead of brush to gently remove the knots.

2.   Avoid gels and hair sprays that contain alcohol. Since alcohol can dry out your scalp, it can be one of the causes for dandruff.

3.   Never wash your hair with very hot or very cold water, as it has the chance of drying up scalp and in turn causing dandruff.

4.   Avoid citrus fruits, bananas, dried, stewed or tinned fruits.

Home Remedies To Try :

1.   After you shampoo your hair, you could use one teaspoon of fresh lime juice for the last rinse. This will not only help reduce dandruff but also add shine to your hair.

2.   Also try applying a peel of lime immersed in coconut milk or hot oil.

3.   Crushed beet root in henna paste is also known to reduce dandruff.

4.   Apply pure apple juice.
