HAIR MASKS FOR DANDRUFF

1. Fenugreek and Lemon Mask

Thanks to its anti-fungal properties, Fenugreek tops our list of ingredients to make the perfect hair mask for dandruff. To derive the maximum benefits, you can pair it up with Lemon juice. However, this anti-dandruff hair mask requires more effort than the other ones on this list because you need to soak Fenugreek seeds overnight. As soon as you wake up, blend the seeds in a mixer and add one tablespoon of juice in it. Now, apply it on your scalp and hair and cover it up for 30 minutes. Finally, wash it off and repeat the process once every week.
