10 Really Handy Tricks To Get Rid Of Dandruff

8. Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is naturally alkaline and helps reduce the acidity of the scalp, making it harder for a fungus to grow. It is also a good source of acetic acid, which is found in many store-bought dandruff products, as well as “good” bacteria to restore the pH balance of dry, itchy scalps. Mix one cup of organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar with one-quarter cups of water in a spray bottle and spray scalp thoroughly. Wait fifteen minutes to an hour and wash hair as usual.

7. Baking Soda

Baking soda is one household ingredient that can be used in more than just the kitchen. It has antifungal properties that can be used to kill fungus and reduce itching associated with dandruff. Instead of shampooing with chemical-laden products, skip the shampoo and go right for the baking soda. Wet hair and wash with baking soda. As washing with baking soda alone may make hair dry and stiff, try adding some tea tree oil to keep it moisturized.
