DIY Methods to Get Rid of Dandruff (4 of 5)

Lemon and Sweet Almond Dandruff Shampoo

The citric acid in lemon can be a great way to clean away excess oil, and the almond can nourish hair. Use this method by mixing a few drops of lemon essential oil with about two tablespoons of almond oil. Work this mixture into your hair, and then shampoo. You can do this every day.

Honey Dandruff Shampoo

Honey can help to balance the pH of the scalp, which can eliminate dandruff flakes. “Honey makes a great scalp cleanser as it’s antibacterial and antifungal and gentle on the scalp,” Reslan says. For this method, mix raw honey with water in a squeeze bottle. Apply the shampoo to your scalp while your hair is wet and massage it for one minute. Rinse, and repeat once a week.
