Dandruff

Ok, so a constant use of head & shoulders might be a good idea but I am sure something else can be done. Any desi totka?

Well a very desi one i sright at your service but i could n't even get my hubby around to use it.... but it works wonders.

Ok twice a week ...... You should apply some dahi...yoghurt... on your scalp half hour before washing your hair.

I am against head and shoulders.... once you are on it ... you can't get off it because dandruff comes back too quickly.

Try using milder frequent shampoos... one dermatologist here told to wash hair frequently ... everyday.... with a mild shampoo.

Try using a Loreal citrus _CR or somethingfrom Timotie.

Well this is what I do.. wash every day, if not for some reason then the secong day for sure.. And I use a mild shampoo too

Waisay, your totka doesnt seem so terrible.. Its a hassle though.. to apply dahi half hour before.. I never have so much time

I don't think this is a desi treatment, however after you shampoo rinse your hair with vinegar. I know its sounds odd but it really works, do this 2 times a week. Also olive oil works too. Good luck. :)

apply these things on your scalp:

(u can mix any of them too)

yoghurt
egg yolk (preferably desi anda = organic egg in america)
honey
sarson ke teyl (karwa teyl) ki maalish
wash hair at regular intervals, dont share comb/ towel/ pillow with someone who has dandruff

these are all cosmetic cures though...to really get rid of dandruff, eat a more balanced diet, and exercise, and sleep well...

I dont know how effective "dahi" could be to fight against dandruff, but heres what i do, and these things work just fine for me...

Never ever use HOT water to wash your head...

second, Do NOT wash your hair frequently...i dont know how others can live with that but if i start washing hair daily, i notice some major problem with my hair line :D (twice/thrice a week should be sufficient)

third, apply some oil after washing hair (and plz do not put tooo much oil that would make it miserable for others to live :p)

Head & Shoulders is crap, Pantene Pro-V is much better for your hair, it gives you smooth, shiny hair. :)

Yogurt does work as a cure.
