Yogurt
Massage the scalp with yogurt with a few added lemon drops for at least 15 minutes before showering. Yogurt and Lemon Mix will loosen the Dandruff attached to your hair, then washing with Shampoo will help in removing then from hair easily.

Warm Water + Lemon
Use Lemon juice Rinsing method as below

• 1/4 cup of lemon juice
• 1 cup of warm water

Apply the above mixture to hair after shampoo, and leave it on for 3 to 5 minutes.

I wash my hair with baking soda once a week. During the rest of the week I use the lemon juice rinse to keep my hair clean and smelling good. However, keep in mind that you should only use this rinse twice a week.

Note: Applying too much lemon to hair can dry it out. Also, prolonged use of lemon juice can lighten your hair color.

• 10 drops of lemons juice
• 1/2 cup of olive oil
• 1/2 cup of coconut oil

Mix the oils and the lemon juice, massage onto hair, cover with shower cap and leave on for 20 minutes or longer.
