Home Remedies for Dandruff and Hair Fall: Backed by Science

Dandruff and hair fall are among the most common concerns people face today—especially in polluted environments, with stressful routines and poor nutrition. At L&B Clinics, we meet patients who’ve tried everything from anti-dandruff shampoos to salon hair spas, only to see their hair issues return within weeks. That’s because most treatments focus only on symptoms—not the root cause.

In this blog, our experts explain the most effective, science-backed dandruff removal home remedies and natural hair fall solutions, along with an introduction to our holistic approach to hair treatment.

What Causes Dandruff and Hair Fall?

Let’s first understand why dandruff and hair fall occur. Dandruff is mainly triggered by a fungus called Malassezia, which lives on the scalp. When it grows excessively due to oil buildup, stress, hormonal imbalance, or poor hygiene, it causes flaking, itchy scalp, and inflammation. Hair fall, on the other hand, can result from nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalance (thyroid, PCOS, postpartum), scalp infections, chronic stress, and harsh hair products. Many people don’t realize that dandruff and hair fall are often connected—an inflamed scalp weakens hair roots, leading to hair loss.

This is why L&B Clinic’s method focuses on treating hair and scalp from the inside out—not just topical relief.

Dandruff Removal Home Remedies That Actually Work

1. Neem Water Rinse

Boil 20 neem leaves in 2 cups of water. Let it cool, strain, and use it as a final rinse after shampoo.
Neem has natural antifungal and antibacterial properties. It helps fight the fungus responsible for dandruff and reduces itchy scalp symptoms like redness, irritation, and flakes.

2. Aloe Vera Gel

Apply pure aloe vera gel directly on the scalp and leave it for 30 minutes before washing.
Aloe vera soothes the scalp, hydrates dry patches, and has antimicrobial benefits. It's a gentle but effective remedy for dandruff and itchy scalp.

3. Tea Tree Oil Blend

Mix 2-3 drops of tea tree oil in 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Massage into the scalp and leave it for 1 hour before washing.
Tea tree oil is clinically proven to reduce dandruff and has antifungal action that targets scalp infections. It also helps relieve itchy scalp discomfort.

4. Fenugreek (Methi) Paste

Soak 2 tablespoons of fenugreek seeds overnight. Grind into a paste with a little water or yogurt and apply to the scalp. Leave for 30 minutes before washing.
Fenugreek reduces flaking, calms irritation, and nourishes the scalp, making it one of the best dandruff removal home remedies.

Natural Hair Fall Solutions Backed by Research

1. Onion Juice

Grate or blend one onion and squeeze out the juice. Apply it to the scalp and leave for 20 minutes.
Onion juice is rich in sulfur, which boosts blood circulation to the hair follicles and stimulates regrowth. It strengthens roots and reduces hair shedding.

2. Curry Leaves and Coconut Oil

Heat a handful of curry leaves in coconut oil until they turn dark. Cool, strain, and use as a massage oil twice a week.
Curry leaves are rich in antioxidants and proteins. This oil strengthens hair, prevents split ends, and reduces hair fall naturally.

3. Amla (Indian Gooseberry) Pack

Mix amla powder with aloe vera or curd and apply it to the scalp. Leave for 30–40 minutes before washing.
Amla is one of the best natural sources of Vitamin C and antioxidants. It supports collagen production and protects hair from oxidative damage.

The Role of Nutrition in Hair and Scalp Health

What you eat plays a major role in scalp health. A nutrient-deficient diet weakens follicles, triggers inflammation, and worsens dandruff and hair fall. At L&B Clinic, we recommend including the following:

• Zinc-rich foods: pumpkin seeds, chickpeas, cashews
  
  

• Iron sources: spinach, beetroot, dates, jaggery
  
  

• Biotin-rich foods: almonds, sweet potatoes, whole grains
  
  

• Omega-3s: flax seeds, walnuts, chia seeds
  
  

• Vitamin D: mushrooms, eggs, 15 minutes of morning sunlight
  
  

Hydration, gut health, and stress management also play an important role in keeping your hair healthy.

L&B Clinic’s Holistic Hair Treatment Approach

While home remedies offer relief, lasting results come from addressing internal imbalances. At L&B Clinics, we follow a holistic hair treatment protocol, where we look at your scalp, hormones, digestion, nutrition, and stress levels before designing your plan.
