If you have tried medicated shampoos, anti-dandruff shampoos, egg oil, tea tree oil and a whole lot of other chemical based stuff (coal tar, ketoconazole, zinc pyrithione, selenium disulfide, etc.) and none of them has worked for you, you MUST read this.  Wiki, by the way, says there is no true cure. 

Once you read this brief article and try it at home, be sure to post your feedback. Before we get down to what is sure to work for you (provided there are no other complications like dermatitis or psoriasis), do spend a few minutes in knowing what dandruff is.

Dandruff affects HALF the adult population.  A small amount of flaking dead skin cells from the scalp is normal, but unusually large amounts can be accompanied by redness and irritation.  Severity of flaking may vary from summer to winter.  Apart from itching and redness, it does cause social problems as well.  A person prone to severe dandruff may also be unable to wear dark clothes.

Here is what is sure to work for you –

• ·        Soak 2 table spoons of fenugreek seeds (Trigonella foenum-graecum, methi, menthya, ventayam, menthiyam, mentulu) overnight. 
• ·        Grind into a fine paste in the morning. 
• ·        Rub a thin layer of aloe vera gel into your scalp.
• ·        Apply the paste all over your scalp and leave it for half an hour.
• ·        Wash off with mild shampoo.

If you have a fairly severe case of dandruff and it persists -

• ·        Mix some apple cider vinegar into the above paste before you apply. 
• ·        Leave it for half an hour as aforesaid.
• ·        Wash off with mild shampoo.

If you have a very severe case of dandruff -

• ·        Mix some apple cider vinegar as mentioned above.
• ·        Leave it for half an hour as aforesaid.
• ·        Take a little shampoo and crush two aspirins into a fine powder and mix it well, massage it into your hair and leave it on for 1-2 minutes.
• ·        Wash off with mild shampoo.

Washing your hair twice a week initially and once a week / fortnight thereafter with the above ingredients should ensure that you get rid of the problem permanently.
