Have pesky dandruff which refuses to leave your side? Why not give home remedies a try? The good thing is that since they are natural, they do not have side-effects and are free from chemicals too. An effective remedy to get rid of dandruff is amla or the Indian gooseberry. Found in abundance in India, you can easily find the fruit in the market or at least its powder or juice.
To make an anti-dandruff pack, take a little amla powder and mix it in water. Apply this on your scalp and leave for a few minutes before washing it off with water. To make the paste more effective, you can combine 10 ground basil leaves (tulsi) to the paste. This will further enhance its fighting action against dandruff. With regular use, you will see that your dandruff has reduced significantly. Not just that, amla is also good for adding a lustrous shine to one's hair. After washing your hair, take the last rinse of amla water and leave hair to dry. Read more about the beauty benefits of amla here.
