First thing first. If you are wondering what that "(1)" in the title stands for, it is simply to tell that there will be more posts coming for Healthy Hair. :)
Now with the Tip.
Healthy Hair begin with clean, happy hair. And DANDRUFF is one of the biggest nuisances. It affects dry scalps all right, which have not been oiled for a long long time, as the surface of the scalp becomes flaky and starts to shed off. But it equally affects oily skin as well, making the condition only worse. The flakes tend to stick onto the scalp, thereby blocking the pores and not letting the skin breathe. And the problem self-propagates.
So here's one solution that I believe to be sure-shot. I have tried this personally (though I had to do this just twice till now, and I give some credits to this tip! :) ) and hands down, I vouch for it.
Sour Curd and lemon. That's it!
Take some sour curd -the more sour the better - its quantity depending on the length of your hair. Just make sure it is not too watery. Squeeze in a lemon's juice in it. Mix well and apply to the roots of your hair in a gentle massaging manner. You may even comb your hair with a really wide-toothed comb, to make sure it is all over the scalp. Let it stay for about 30-45 minutes, and then wash off with your shampoo.
Now, quite obviously, this concoction will not smell that great, so you will need a good rinse with your shampoo and conditioner. The good thing is that the smell is tolerable and easily washes away. Just make sure to not overdo the lemon, as it is a really strong bleaching agent.
You will see visible results after your first attempt. That is one of the major reasons I stand by this tip. I really don't have a lot of patience, and I need instant results for my efforts. But if your dandruff is chronic, you may need a few attempts. Repeating this exercise at an interval of 2-3 days is good enough.
But apart from this, there are a few other things that need to be taken care of :
1. Keep the scalp clean. Very clean. Very very clean. This pretty much solves a lot of the problems in one go.
2. Go for regular oiling. But with the climate and pollution around, it is only advisable to keep it an overnight affair. More oil will attract more grease and dirt, all of which are dandruff's friendly cousins.
3. Eat healthy. An inclusion of sprouts and curd in your lunch daily is good enough to ensure healthy tresses. And healthy hair is happy, beautiful hair.
Hair is our crowning glory, and it deserves all our love and care. Let us give what it takes, because both our hair, and we, are worth it!
Lots of love. Stay tuned for more...!!!
