The falling of dry skin flakes from the scalp is known as dandruff. It is not a serious disease but it is irritating. The cause of dandruff can be due to malfunctioning of the body system. Other causes include improper diet, high caloric food intake, tension, use of wrong hair oil and shampoo etc.

There are various home remedies for curing this disease that are:

2)    Fengu (methi) seeds:
Soak 2-3 tablespoon of methi seeds and keep it for overnight. Make a paste and then apply it over the scalp. Keep it for 30min and then wash it with plain water.

3)    Lemon juice:
Wash your hair with shampoo and then rinse over the scalp and wash it away. This is one of the most effective home remedy for dandruff.

4)    Plain curd:
Take plain curd and keep it for fermentation for 2-3 days. Apply this curd over the scalp for 1 hour and then wash it off.
