Here are two ways to treat common dandruff at home.
· If you have common dandruff (flakes, that may be white or yellow, that fall out of your scalp onto your shoulders etc.), hot oil treatment is a beneficial way to control it. Apply warm olive oil onto your scalp. Rub lightly. Dip a towel in warm water and squeeze out the extra water. Wrap around your head for 5 minutes. Repeat 3 or 4 times. Apply lime juice to the scalp in the morning. Wash off after half an hour.
· Apply two tablespoons of vinegar onto your scalp. Leave on for half an hour. Wash your hair using a mild herbal shampoo. Add two tablespoons of vinegar to some water and use as the last rinse.
