is applying lemon on hair good - #37371
I am really confused about my hair situation. For the last few months, I've been dealing with this annoying dandruff thing, and no shampoos seem to work. A friend of mine suggested that maybe is applying lemon on hair good, you know? She swears by it! I've tried a few home remedies, but honestly, nothing has made a big difference. Last week, I thought I’d give her suggestion a go. I squeezed some fresh lemon and mixed it with coconut oil—thought that could help since I read somewhere that oil can combat dryness. After a few applications, I didn’t notice a whole lot of change. My scalp still feels itchy, and I'm worried the acidity in lemon is gonna make things worse. Could applying lemon on hair actually make my dandruff worse? I just don’t want to irritate my scalp anymore than it already is. Any thoughts on how often I should do this? Is applying lemon on hair good for all hair types, or is it better for oily hair? Like, I’ve got a mix of oily roots and dry ends, so I'm not sure if that's a good match for lemon. Tried searching online, but I keep getting conflicting advice! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Applying lemon to hair can be beneficial for dandruff issues, but it’s not suitable for everyone, especially with certain hair and scalp conditions. Lemon juice is known for its antifungal properties, which might help reduce dandruff, but its high acidity can indeed be harsh on sensitive scalps. For someone like you, dealing with an itchy scalp and both oily roots, dry ends, it’s essential to approach this remedy cautiously.
The mixture you used, lemon and coconut oil, generally works well as coconut oil can moisturize the scalp and balance out the acidity of lemon. However, if you notice increased irritation or dryness after using lemon on your scalp, it may be too harsh. For your particular hair and scalp type – oily at the roots, dry at the tips – you might find it more beneficial to limit the lemon application strictly to the roots, and use a more gentle, soothing oil like coconut or almond on the ends.
Consider using the lemon mixture once a week. This frequency allows your scalp to benefit from lemons clarifying abilities without over-exposing it to potential irritation. Mix one part fresh lemon juice with two parts coconut oil; massage it gently onto your scalp, avoiding the tips of your hair. Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes, then wash it out with a mild herbal shampoo.
You may also explore other Ayurvedic remedies like applying neem oil or a paste of fenugreek seeds which are also great for dandruff and might be less irritating. Maintain a cooling diet, avoiding spicy and oily foods, and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, which are balancing for Pitta dosha that might be affecting your scalp’s condition.
Should the dandruff persist or worsen, do consult with a healthcare professional as it could be indicative of more deeper imbalance that needs specific attention beyond home remedies.
