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

Coconut Oil Shampoo

Another great ingredient for your scalp is coconut. “Coconut oil has some anti-inflammatory effects and can help hydrate [your] scalp, but keep an eye on it: if dandruff is severe, it will not work well. Best talk to your doctor,” says expert Jenny Liu. For this dandruff hack, mix coconut oil with jojoba oil. Massage into the scalp and let sit for about 30 minutes. Then shampoo and rinse very thoroughly. You can repeat this once per week.
