10 Really Handy Tricks To Get Rid Of Dandruff

5. Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is an excellent way to naturally moisturize a dry, itchy scalp while providing anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, and antiviral properties. It kills and prevents the spread of fungus while keeping the scalp moisturized, so flakes do not form. Before showering, add three to five tablespoons of coconut oil to hair and massage in. Let it sit for about an hour before washing out. Or purchase a natural brand of shampoo that uses organic, unrefined coconut oil as its base.
