You have finally purchased that little black dress only to look down at your shoulders and notice those white flakes on your shoulders. Does this situation sound familiar? If it does, here are tips from beauty expert Shahnaz Husain to fight the flakes and keep your scalp dandruff-free and healthy.

Hot oil massage

The old school hot oil therapy is a very effective home treatment for the prevention and control of dandruff. Oiling your hair also prevents clogging of the pores of the scalp and prevents dryness of the scalp. Simply heat some olive oil, dab a cotton ball in it and apply it on your hair. Massage the scalp gently to remove the flakes. Next dip a towel in hot water, squeeze out the water and wrap the towel around your head, like a turban. Leave it on for 5 minutes and repeat the towel wrap process 3-4 times. Leave the oil on your hair overnight and apply the juice of a lemon on the scalp next morning. Allow the lemon juice to settle for half an hour and then wash your hair. Try the hot oil massage therapy twice a week. You can also treat hair fall with a hot oil massage and steam therapy.

Vinegar solution

Massage lightly two tablespoons vinegar on the scalp into the scalp half an hour before shampoo. However, you should use a mild herbal shampoo to wash your hair. After shampoo, add two tablespoons of the vinegar to a mug of water and use it to rinse your hair. You should ideally wash your hair two times a week with rinsing it properly with water and using less shampoo.

Baking soda remedy
