I am 25 years old - I have itching dandruff with severe scalp itching problem. Please suggest some home made remedies for me to get rid of this problem of dandruff and itchy scalp!

You are suffering from itchy scalp dandruff when you notice that white flakes fall from your hair each time you itch your scalp. These scales are very embarrassing since they often settle down on your clothes or even get caught in your eyebrows. Some people suffer from lumps or small boils when they have dandruff. You can ensure that your dandruff & itching problems are reduced by oiling your hair regularly and massaging your scalp with warm oil. While warm coconut oil is generally considered the best oil for this purpose, olive oil is effective too. With repeated use of warm oil on your scalp you will notice a reduction in your itching dandruff problem.

Fenugreek seeds are the most effective in treating dandruff. You can soak three to four teaspoons of the seeds in water overnight. In the morning grind these to a paste, using a little water. This paste should be applied on your scalp and hair. Left on for at least an hour, this treatment works wonders in the case of the most stubborn dandruff. You can also use very sour yogurt to get the dandruff out of your hair. If the yogurt you have is not sour enough, you can simply leave it out overnight. Rub this into the scalp and leave it on. This reduces the itch in the scalp and helps get rid of dandruff itch after regular application. You can also squeeze the juice of one full lemon into some water and use this water to rinse your hair the last time. This leaves your hair shining and reduces any chances of stickiness. You can also use gram flour to remove dandruff form your scalp. Use three tablespoons of gram flour with a little water to make a paste. Apply this on the scalp and leave it on for at least an hour. This removes the dandruff and is effective when carried out at least twice a week.

For an itching dandruff treatment that will be effective over a long period of time use the juice of Indian gooseberry on your scalp. Add the juice of half a lemon to this and then massage into your scalp at bedtime. This works very well overnight and ensures that your dandruff is cleared. If you can’t find the juice of Indian gooseberry, you can simply use lemon juice. This is also very effective when applied on the scalp and left on for some time.
