Dandruff? Rinse with Mouthwash

last updated on 3 November 2011

Well, use it to rinse your scalp and hair, that is.

Mouthwash works on dandruff primarily because of the hydrogen peroxide in them. Hydrogen peroxide has antiseptic properties which helps kill of fungi that cause dandruff and hair fall.

How to do it: Wash your hair with regular shampoo. Rinse with cold water and work about a capful of the mouthwash into your scalp.

Finally, rinse it off again with cold water and you’re done. (Alternatively, you can also add your conditioner, then rinse.)

      Hi, everyone’s hair is different, but I just wanted to share that since I stopped using store-bought chemical-laden shampoos, my hair has never been healthier, shinier and less prone to dandruff.

      If nothing else has worked for you, you might try want to try using apple cider vinegar rinse and baking soda. It’s worked very, very well for me :)

      My cheap and non-toxic alternative to shampoo

    I have bad dandruff…is it supposed to look like your scalp is cracked and white and flaky? Or is this something entirely different from dandruff?
