Aspirin
An interesting dandruff treatment is aspirin. While it is a great way to handle headaches, over-the-counter aspirin can help because of the presence of salicylic acid. Many anti-dandruff shampoos use that as the main ingredient, and using it at home should be the same. The acid will exfoliate the scalp and remove much of existing dandruff. It can also soothe inflammation that comes with dandruff, which lessens the itching of the scalp.
Using aspirin as an anti-dandruff treatment will only require two aspirin tablets. The first step is crushing them into fine powder. A mortar and pestle can help with that and ensure that the powder will be easy to use with no large granules. The next step is to mix the powder with the regular shampoo people use. The salicylic acid will quickly integrate into the shampoo to reach the scalp. Overall, people should treat it like using anti-dandruff shampoo, which requires deep massaging of the scalp and thorough rinsing so that the dandruff goes away.
