I usually save white vinegar for my Chinese cooking, but yes, you can use it for dandruff too! Just make sure you dilute it with a lot of water first, otherwise your scalp will feel like it's on fire.

Honestly, mixing and applying vinegar is too much work when you have early morning meetings. Just get a standard anti-dandruff shampoo containing ketoconazole. It works much faster and doesn't leave your hair smelling like a salad.

I have really dry hair and some dandruff. Can I still use white vinegar, or will it make my hair even drier? I'm a bit scared to try it on my scalp.

Haan bhaiya, sirke ka paani dandruff ke liye bahut badhiya kaam karta hai. Bas ek mug paani mein do chammach sirka milake baal dho lo. Do teen baar karne se khujli bilkul theek ho jayegi.

Why spend hundreds on expensive clinic treatments or fancy shampoos? A simple 40-rupee bottle of white vinegar from the local grocery shop works wonders. Just dilute it 1:3 with water and use it as a last rinse.

Beta, white vinegar is very acidic, so you must be extremely careful. Always dilute it with double the amount of water before applying, and don't leave it on your head for more than five minutes. If your scalp is red or has cuts, avoid it completely.
