Dandruff is a common hair problem that can make your scalp itchy and uncomfortable. Here are 5 homemade remedies to help control dandruff.

Coconut oil

Coconut oil helps nourish the scalp and prevent dryness, effectively reducing dandruff. You can mix coconut oil with lemon juice as it helps maintain the scalp's pH levels.

Apple cider vinegar 

Apple cider vinegar is a natural remedy for dandruff as it promotes the shedding of dead skin cells on your scalp and helps reduce fungal growth. 

Baking soda

Baking soda contains antifungal properties and can be used as a gentle exfoliate to help remove dead skin cells from the scalp. Mix it with egg yolk or lemon juice and use it as a mask once a week.

Curd

Curd contains lactic acid and probiotics, which help soothe the scalp and reduce dandruff. 

Olive oil

Olive oil helps hydrate and moisturise the scalp and prevent dryness, which can cause dandruff. You can make a hair mask by mixing olive oil with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
