Dandruff is caused by a dry scalp, some type of hair products especially those that are sensitive to your skin and the growth of fungus. However, dandruff can be eliminated while at home using the following home remedies.

Use of coconut oil. This oil can be used as a moisturizer thus helping improve skin hydration. This prevents scalp dryness which in return helps reduce dandruff production.

Application of Aloe Vera. This product has been of immense help to all of us in one way or another and especially while at home. It is a product that is easily available. Aloe Vera has been used to produce lotions, skin ointments and other beauty products. Use of aloe will help in reducing the growth of fungi which as mentioned above, causes dandruff. It is advisable to use hair products containing aloe for better results.

Omega 3 fatty acids. These are mainly found in fish and its products such as oil. Nuts and Chia seeds can also serve the same purpose. These products help in keeping our skin healthy. 

Wash your hair more frequently. This aids in making sure that your scalp is moisturized. After the wash, apply hair products that are safe for your skin. To ensure that you choose the best products, engage a dermatologist who will help you in knowing your skin type and the most suitable hair products. 

Avoid scratching. Severe scratch on your scalp using your long nails or sharp objects can cause wounds which can make it even worse. Try to be gentle on your scalp. Try some massage just to let go off the sensation. 

The above steps will help restore your dignity especially when it comes to your hair. Regain that amazing hair, body and scalp. It's about Staying Healthy, Always!
