Hair mask for dry and flaky scalp or Dandruff

Gram flour + coconut oil + lemon juice

-        Warm up half a cup of oil and squeeze a 1/3^rd amount of lemon juice

-        Add a tea spoon of gram flour and keep mixing

-        Add another tea spoon and keep adding and mixing until a good paste like consistency.

-        At this point if you want to add any essential oil you can do so, I personally do not because I like to concentrate on the problem of dandruff.

-        This paste will be too thick, in that case you can put equal amounts of coconut oil and water to make like runny batter consistency.

-        Apply this thin layer right from your roots to the ends and leave it for 15-20 mins

-        Wash this off using a mild shampoo and conditioner

Gram flour is really underestimated and really forgotten how it can really turn into some good hair and skincare ingredient. It is a great exfoliator and an excellent cleansing agent, which helps with the removal of dandruff in your hair. The best part is that it does not rip off the natural oils from your scalp and is very gentle on your hair and skin.

Coconut oil is the best to nourish your hair as it is one of the oils that penetrate deep in the hair shaft to provide it strength, coconut oil alone is a remedy for almost all of the hair and skin issues, (I am going to write an article on coconut oil) and helps as a mediator to apply it on the scalp and hair.

Lemon juice is well known for its citrus or citric acid, it helps fight the dandruff, as it has anti-microbial properties that get rid of the fungus that causes the Dandruff. So basically, Lemons are the ride or die for all dandruff problems.
