You can try a combination of several inexpensive methods to get rid of dandruff. But do remember that this will always be a work in progress. Dandruff is a recurring condition that can always reappear if you tend to neglect your hair and let it go awry. One of the first rules of keeping a dandruff free scalp is to keep it squeaky clean. Remember that a clean scalp will always be a healthier scalp. Depending upon your hair and skin type, you should determine a mild shampoo that is ideally suited to your hair. This is especially important if you shampoo your hair everyday. Please do not subscribe to the myth that this will damage your hair in any way. Just make sure that you are not using a harsh shampoo continually which may actually cause harm. At least every alternate day, take half of a lime slice and rub this into your hair. Lime is strong and citrus and will work very well to destroy dandruff from deep within your scalp. Once you have left this on for about 15 minutes you may feel your scalp begin to burn and itch. This is a sign that the lime juice is working. Wash your hair when this happens.

One of the greatest misconceptions is a shampoo that can get rid of dandruff. This is practically impossible because whatever ingredients that may be used to get rid of dandruff need to actually stay on your scalp and work on your skin for a while before they actually start showing results. So most of the time, the shampoo may be working when you have washed your hair or immediately after a hair wash, but the dandruff is no closer to going away than it was before. You can also use an herb like fenugreek to get rid of dandruff. Soak a tablespoon of fenugreek in 100 ml of water and let this stand overnight. The next morning, you can rinse out your hair with this water. It will not only help to maintain a clean and clear scalp, it will also make your hair strands stronger. Generally, the intake of fenugreek is also very good for improving the thickness and quality of your hair. You can find this product in the form of pills in stores that sell nutritional supplements or natural herbal goods and solutions. You would have to consume the product as per the recommended dosage on the package.
