How to Treat Dandruff and Split-ends the Most Inexpensive Way
There are a number of natural home remedies that helps cure dandruffs and split-ends. Learn how to shake the flake the most inexpensive way with this best natural remedy.
Dandruff Overview
There are two types of dandruff: OILY and DRY. The Oily type can make your hair sticky and might have yellow flakes while the Dry type can be seen with white flakes and with itching effects on scalp.
Worst-case scenario, dandruff can really make your hair smells bad. Adults and adolescents alike are the most common affected by this rather than children.
Dandruff can be the most annoying and embarrassing hair enemy one can have.
This is the shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp; commonly seen as white flakes and very itchy. With dandruff, the hair loses its beauty and might even spoil your personality.
Why Dandruff Formed?
These are some of the possible reasons that contribute as to why our scalp become prone to dandruff:
- Too much secretion of skin oil or sebum
- By-products of skin microorganisms
- Excessive stress
- Poor diet
- Hormonal imbalances
- Dry weather
- Excessive use of hair products not suitable for our scalp and hair
- Infected scalp
There are a lot of natural remedies to treat these dandruff on the scalp. You can try organic anti-dandruff shampoos but it's not as effective as natural home treatment. Due to the dry weather, dandruff can form very fast and it will make you uncomfortable and maybe embarrassed when outside.
Calamansi Beauty Miracles
Not only Calamansi is a good cleaning agent and the best addition to sauce, it has the potential to enhance one's beauty.
From eliminating dark spots and scars on our face and body, using it as a deodorizer to combat smelly underarms plus its whitening effects, Calamansi juice is proven to be an effective way to get rid of dandruff.
The fact that Calamansi has citric acid might lessen the itchiness and might get rid of these flakes on the scalp.
Say Goodbye to Dandruffs and Split-Ends - the Very Natural Way!
Not only that Calamansi can get rid of dandruff, it can also stop split-ends from your hair. If you are suffering from split-ends, you can try to wash the ends of your hair with Calamansi juice. I've tried this before and it can stop split-ends naturally. It may not close those strands that already split, but it can prevent other healthy hair to break and split in the end.
These are the steps she had done to combat those white flakes:
- Cut the Calamansi in halves
Option 1: You can gently put the Calamansi directly into your hair while squeezing it or
Option 2: You can squeeze the juice first, separate the pulp from the juice and then put it on your scalp
I always choose option 2 since you can avoid the pulp getting into your hair and scalp. The pulp is hard to remove once it sticks on the scalp and hair even when you tried to rinse it with water.
- Let the Calamansi juice stand on your scalp for about 15 - 20 minutes before rinsing it off.
- Rinse with tap water and use only mild shampoo to wash away the smell.
- Use it 2 - 3 days straight for mild dandruff conditions and 3 - 5 days for severe dandruffs. After that, use it only thrice a week. Then reduce it to twice a week application until you feel that it's all gone (even you can't see the white flakes anymore).
Calamansi does not only get rid of dandruff but it also makes your hairy shiny and soft. She never had dandruff again. It was already gone - for good!
I never hesitate to recommend Calamansi to get rid of those white flake enemies. It really works in no time. Salons nowadays are charging a big amount for a one-time application of chemicals to fight dandruff. Even anti-dandruff shampoos that promises "100% dandruff-free" hair is not really effective. It can also make your hair dull because of its harsh content.
But why pay high when you can pay a reasonable amount to buy Calamansi?
Why take the risk to let chemicals damaged your sensitive scalp and hair when you can opt for more natural and more effective way to treat it?
You will be happy of the result - a dandruff free and healthy scalp and hair.

I didn't know about these benefits of calamansi juice. It's great to learn something new and useful. Thanks for sharing this information. Voted useful.
hi, spy will try this one , and get back to your site once ive tried it see the result, thank you for this useful info.
Hi spy,
I have been using calamansi juice for my hair since childhood in the Philippines, but when I´m in Germany, the alternative for me is lime or lemon juice as I have not seen calamansi in Germany and in any other European countries. Lemon or lime juice is good, too. Thanks for sharing this informative hub to others. Well done!
Hi spy,
What an interesting hub! I too have never heard of Calamansi fruit!! Another great one for me to check out. Thanks for this useful article, I don't have dandruff but as you know I am totally up for all things natural and chemical free for skin and hair!! Voted up, useful, interesting, shared and pinned!!
I have never heard of calamansi before this article, but it is an interesting tip. I have heard of using lemon juice.
Thanks for sharing your research!
Some of the comments have useful tips, too. I'm going to jot them down. Unfortunately I do struggle with dry scalp, so anything to ease it would be nice. I think my scalp hates the products I use in it, but so far I haven't found a hair product that doesn't make it dry. In addition, I like hot showers, which doesn't help.
Great ideas for health care and dandruff too, new information to me.
Very nice tips and good to know more about citrus fruit's benefits, Some time i use natural Aloe vera pulp in my hair roots and it work fantastic.
Thanks for the tips, I'm going to keep this in mind should my hair flake up again.
I've never heard of Calamansi. It looks like lemon. Can you find it in the drugstore? I've never had dandruff. I use different types of shampoos. I use head and shoulders every once in a while because of its smell. thanks for the wonderful tips
I have this citric fruit in my garden but did not know it was called Calamansi. I have used vinegar and lime juice to clear dandruff, and these both works well.
I've never heard of calamansi. I wonder if I can find it locally. Thanks for sharing your tip.
Will lemon and/or lime do the same thing as calamansi? I would definitely like to use something more natural for my hair. I don't have dandruff, though.
I have been using H&S for nearly 20 years and it has been quite effective. It's quite strong too, as it takes the chlorine out of my hair after long hours in the pool. However I shall try your method for a while and shall come back to let you know the results. Thanks and cheers! :)
Great tips here and thank you for sharing. I vote up,across and share.
Eddy.
Thank you for this.
Hi my friend M. Great hub with awesome useful information. Now to find those Calamansi fruit might be a little tricky, but I'll look !
Vote up and more !!!
Would lemon juice do just as well?
Hello Spy,
I think you have written a very much needed hub for the mass. Dandruff is the problem which everyone of us do suffer at some stage. Although there are lots of shampoos available in the market of claiming zero dandruff but none of them have 100% efficacy.
I am anticipating in a positive note that your herbal remedies will definitely work.
Voting Up and sharing.
Spy, I still post occasionally but am busy with my freelance business. That's why you don't see me too often, although I try to comment when I can. I'm way behind in my Hubmail! :-(
This is wonderful news and I going to try this. Hopefully, I can find this fruit at the local market. Thank you!
Thanx, Spy!
I've never heard of calamansi, Spy. I don't have dandruff, but where can it be found? What does it taste like?
