Here are some of them
Tea Tree OilTea tree oil has been proven as a very useful antibiotic for many problems – skin rashes, itching and most importantly dandruff.

Mouthwash:Yes, mouthwash helps this way too. Mix one part of mouthwash with 9 parts of water and pour over the scalp right after the hair wash. Now, towel dry without rinsing. Mouthwash helps fight dandruff in its own unique way. Banana Vinegar Mix – Peel one Banana and mix with two cups vinegar. Mash and make a fine mix to apply on the scalp for 5 to 10 minutes.

Now rub the powder on your scalp and ler it stay for 5 minutes. Wash away with a shampoo that you normally use. See your scalp all clear.
