Does vinegar remove dandruff?

Question

My scalp has been very itchy and flaky lately, and I think it's dandruff. I've read online that vinegar can be used as a home remedy to remove dandruff. Is this true, and is it safe to try?

Yes, it actually helped me a lot! I just mix a little apple cider vinegar with mug of water and use it as a last rinse after shampoo. Just make sure to dilute it well, otherwise it will smell too strong.

Vinegar has natural properties that help cleanse the scalp gently. Along with this, keeping your mind calm with regular pranayama helps reduce stress, which is often a root cause of skin and scalp issues.

Look, it works for mild dandruff because of its acidity. But if your scalp is red or bleeding, don't put vinegar on it. Go to a doctor and get a proper medicated lotion.

Yes, it is a very good and gentle home remedy. Just dilute it with water so it is safe for your skin, and try it once a week.

Vijay Nair · Answer

I used to have severe dandruff and tried diluted white vinegar on my scalp once a week. Personally, it reduced the itching and flaking significantly within a month, though I still use a mild shampoo regularly.

It actually works so well, yaar! I was skeptical at first, but a diluted apple cider vinegar spray really cleared my scalp buildup. Just don't apply it on any open scratches, it will burn like crazy!

I know how stressful and embarrassing scalp itching can be, it used to make me so anxious. Diluted vinegar is a safe home remedy to try, but if it causes any redness, please stop and see a dermatologist.
