Apart from using harsh chemical based shampoos, you can try using some effective home remedies that work better and give you freedom for constant itching and scaling. Natural and organic products give best results and cause no damage the hair cuticles. Dandruff is aggravated by exposure to sun, using chemical treatments on the hair and excessive dryness. If you can manage to keep your hair clean and nourished, dandruff can be eliminated.

Beets have been found useful in dandruff. Both tops and roots should be boiled in water and this water should be massaged into the scalp with the finger tips every night. White beet is better for this purpose.

Another useful remedy is the use of a teaspoon of fresh lime juice for the last rinse, while washing the hair. This not only leaves the hair glowing but also removes stickiness and prevents dandruff.
