Dandruff can be an annoying and persistent issue, but you don’t need harsh chemicals to combat it. Rosemary, a powerful natural herb, offers an effective and gentle solution. Its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and scalp-stimulating properties make it a perfect remedy for eliminating dandruff in just one application. Here’s how to use it.
Why Rosemary Works Against Dandruff
- Antimicrobial Properties: Rosemary fights the fungus (Malassezia) that often causes dandruff, helping to restore balance to your scalp.
- Soothes Itchiness: Its anti-inflammatory properties calm irritation and reduce itchiness.
- Improves Scalp Circulation: Rosemary stimulates blood flow to the scalp, promoting overall scalp health and reducing flakiness.
- Balances Oil Production: It helps regulate sebum production, preventing both dryness and excess oil, which can contribute to dandruff.
How to Use Rosemary for Dandruff
Ingredients:
- 2 cups water
