Coconut Oil Scalp Treatment – A Homemade Remedy for Dandruff

We spend so much money on hair products that we are entitled to be frustrated when we realize that dandruff is unlikely to go away. The reason for why this persistent problem keeps plaguing us is that we don’t do enough to keep our scalp healthy. Regular shampoo and conditioner do their part but they are not effective enough in addressing the key problems, therefore we should always seek alternatives.

There seems to be a commercial product for pretty much any issue, but what they have in common is a steep price tag. By contrast, homemade remedies are less expensive and some of them outshine their commercial counterparts in every imaginable way.

Why Scalp Treatment Is Essential?

• It increases blood circulation to your scalp to speed up hair growth.
• Gets rid of dandruff
• Relieves dry, flaky, tight skin from winter months
• Removes build up from products and elements.
• Keeps your hair clean

Grapefruit juice, coconut oil and lemon juice are some of the key ingredients and on the off-chance that you don’t have them conveniently placed in a cupboard, a quick visit to your local convenience store will do the trick.

Tea tree and Rosemary oils are a great addition as they stimulate hair growth, besides removing the product build up. In the absence of a proper scalp treatment, dandruff will thrive but this mixture will swiftly deal with it and constant use will keep it away for good. There are few recurring conditions as annoying as this one, so it is refreshing to know that you can get rid of it once and for all.

Unlike commercial scalp treatments that should be used for a limited period of time so that the side effects don’t outshine the benefits, these 2 homemade remedies can be used indefinitely.

Make sure you don’t tangle your hair. Repeat across the entire scalp, parting the hair in tiny sections. This will stimulate the blood circulation and loosen any dry skin scales.
