Men tend to frown upon using homemade remedies when it comes to treating different kinds of ailments, often seeing them as “girlie” and tend to just spend money on commercial dandruff treatments.

But the truth is that these home remedies to prevent dandruff often work as well, if not better than commercial anti-dandruff products, and they’re also cheap so it’s perfect for guys that are on a tight budget.

Here are a couple of homemade remedies that can help eliminate the excessive flaking and itching of your scalp:

Vinegar

For many years, vinegar has always been the choice of a lot of people for treating dandruff. Before you hop into your shower, apply a liberal amount of vinegar on your hair and massage it into your scalp.

Wait a couple of minutes and then wash it off with your favorite shampoo. You can also try adding lemon juice with vinegar, doing so will make your scalp itch quite a bit afterward but you can get rid of dandruff faster this way.

Fenugreek Seeds

These seeds have also been used for hundreds of years as a viable treatment for dandruff and other skin conditions. Using fenugreek seeds does require a bit of preparation though; you need to soak the seeds in warm water for 6 to 8 hours, grind them into a fine paste, and then apply it onto the scalp and leave it on for about 30 minutes before washing it off with a mild shampoo.

Aloe Vera

The enzymes that are found in the Aloe Vera leaves are known the world over for its ability to heal minor cuts and bruises. Get some Aloe Vera gel, apply it on your scalp and then leave it on for 10 minutes then rinse it off completely.
