2. Coconut oil
Derived from coconuts, coconut oil is another natural oil that can be used to treat dandruff. Coconut oil is extremely hydrating, so it will moisturize and nourish the dryness in the scalp, thereby reducing the appearance of those pesky white flakes. Plus, it also softens the hair. Organic coconut oil will yield the best results. To use this oil to treat dandruff, place a teaspoonful to your hands, and allow it to warm up until it becomes a liquid. Then, massage the liquid right into your scalp for about five minutes. You can either wash your hair right after application or allow the oil to sit overnight. For the best results, use this treatment twice a week.
