Dandruff is not a disease; it is a scalp disorder, which can be treated even at home without having to spend a fortune on shampoos and gels. Imagine wearing that lovely black gown for the dinner party only to be covered with snow flakes on your shoulders. Or, ready for your interview in perfect formals with that jet black blazer on and you find white flakes on your collar and shoulder line. Dandruff can ruin the impression that you can make and hamper your self-confidence.

Mentioned below are some dandruff home remedies, which you can try even when you are very busy and traveling:

  • Coconut oil

If you have problem with dandruff, make sure that you carry a small bottle of coconut oil while you are traveling. Coconut oil has excellent anti-fungal properties and hence it can treat the problem of dandruff successfully. Moreover, it moisturizes the dry scalp and provides required nutrition to the scalp too. When the scalp is moisturized, there are no chances of itching and dandruff.

Take a lemon and cut it into half. Take some coconut oil and add juice of half the lemon into it. Mix them well and apply the same to the scalp thoroughly followed by massaging. Keep the oil on the hair for minimum 20 minutes and then wash it off with water or mild shampoo. Repeat this process 2-3 times a week and see the great results.

  • Tea tree oil

Tea tree oil is among the most important and commonly found essential oils in any home. Tea tree oil is rich in anti-fungal and anti-acne attributes and thus it can play an active role in eliminating dandruff from the scalp. Bacterial infections can also be combated with the help of this essential oil.

In the shampoo that you use, add 1-2 drops of tea tree oil and wash the hair with the same. Massage the scalp gently while shampooing so that the oil penetrates the scalp and treats the problem of dandruff. Visible results are seen within a few days without the need of doing much.

  • Aspirin tablets

Treating the problem of dandruff while traveling is definitely challenging. Interesting and true, aspirin tablets can come to the rescue in such situations. This is because aspirin contains an active ingredient called salicyclic acid, which is commonly used in many medicated shampoos and other medicated hair care products.

To keep dandruff under control, take two aspirin tablets and crush them into fine powder. Now add this powder to the normal amount of shampoo that you use for washing your tresses. Let the shampoo containing the powdered aspirin tablets stay for 1-2 minutes. Rinse hair with plain water and wash again with normal shampoo for best results.

  • Mouthwash

When you are traveling, you are sure to have a mouthwash in your bag. It helps in keeping the mouth fresh and germ-free. But did you know that mouthwash could help in treating the problem of dandruff? In fact, this ingredient can help in dealing with the most stubborn dandruff successfully.

Use regular shampoo for washing your hair. Now rinse the hair and the scalp thoroughly with an alcohol-based mouthwash. Once done, use the regular conditioner for your hair and you are done. Usually mouthwashes have anti-fungal properties for fighting microbes inside the mouth. This ingredient prevents dandruff-causing yeast from growing on the scalp and prevents the problem of dandruff completely.

All the above mentioned ingredients are readily available and can be used without any problems. Moreover, they are all organic items and have no harmful side effects.
