Treat Dandruff Naturally With Neem

Have you ever found yourself scratching your scalp to try and relieve the itch and found white flakes all over your scalp, head and shoulders? Then you are probably suffering from dandruff.

What is dandruff?

Dandruff is a skin condition that mainly affects the scalp, causing itchiness and flaking. Your skin starts to shed these dead cells when your scalp is too dry. The main cause for this condition is unclear, but it’s generally attributed to environmental and genetic factors such as seborrheic dermatitis. It can also be caused by certain water conditions or not shampooing enough. Even though dandruff generally only affects the scalp, it can worsen to a point that it starts affecting the face and other parts of the skin as well.

There are many chemical solutions on the market to solve this problem, be it antifungal creams or shampoos. However, these are very often chemical based and can harm your long strands.
