Apple cider vinegar and lemon 

ACV is slowly but steadily becoming a popular health ingredient. ACV helps in bringing back the pH balance on the scalp because of which the dandruff fungus cannot survive. Mix about 4 tablespoon of ACV and 2 tablespoon of lemon juice. Dip a cotton ball and apply it on the scalp. Leave it on for a good 20 minutes. Repeat the process twice a week and get rid of dandruff. 

Aloe vera and lemon

Aloe vera is a gift to mankind and for dandruff too. As aloe vera is anti-microbial in nature, it helps in eliminating the dry skin and itchiness. Mix some aloe vera gel with some lemon juice and apply it all over your scalp. Let the hair pack sit on for 15-20 minutes. Rinse it away with regular water. Use this process twice a week to get the best results.

Yoghurt and lemon

This one is a remedy which almost the whole of India swears by. The natural acids in yoghurt, eliminate the dandruff completely and that too in barely any time. Take 2 tablespoon of yoghurt, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and some honey. Mix it well together and cover your scalp with it. Leave it on for about 20 minutes and then wash it away with shampoo. Repeat it twice a week and see dandruff die completely. 

Egg and lemon

A remedy which will both give you luscious silky hair and also help you in getting rid of dandruff. Whip 1 egg and squeeze a lime in it. Mix it thoroughly and apply it all over your scalp. Leave it on your scalp for 30 minutes and wash it away with shampoo. 

Baking soda and lemon

Is there something that baking soda cannot do? Well, we guess not. Baking soda has antifungal properties which kill the fungus growing on the scalp. Mix baking soda and lemon juice, now apply the mixture on the scalp. Leave it on for a couple of minutes, maximum 5 minutes, not more than it. If your scalp starts to itch too much then just rinse it with water. Follow this practise once a week and see the results for yourself.
