Natural treatment sources are always a great option and may totally eradicate your dandruff dilemma. Some tried and proven natural remedies are listed below but results will vary based on the severity of your condition. Whichever method you choose to treat dandruff, it is always advisable to observe an recommendation that you may receive from medical experts.

NATURAL DANDRUFF TREATMENTS

TEA TREE OIL

Tea Tree Oil is extracted from the leaves of the Australian Tea Tree and has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and antibiotic properties. Using shampoos that contain tea tree oil is a natural way to control dandruff. If you have the actual Tea Tree Oil, you may add a few drops to your regular shampoo.

OLIVE OIL 

One of the symptoms of a severe case of dandruff is very flaky scalp. An occasional hot oil using olive oil is advised. The oil will help to loosen the stubborn flakes and make them easier to get out of your hair. Heat 3 oz of Olive Oil in a saucepan and after it has cooled enough to bear, apply to damp hair . Massage into scalp and cover with a plastic cap for 30 mins. Follow with a shampoo, taking special care to wash out all of the Olive Oil.

THYME

Thyme is reputed to have antiseptic properties that may reduce dandruff. Using a thyme rinse after you shampoo may prove very effective in reducing dandruff. A thyme rinse is made by bringing to a boil, one cup of water and two heaping tablespoons of dried thyme leaves for about 10 minutes. Pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove the steeped thyme and let it cool. Pour mixture over the hair, making sure it coats the scalp. Do not rinse out.
