Now a days people of all races, ages and gender are facing dandruff problem. I use Black pepper and milk made into a paste and apply on the scalp luke warm every alternate day for 3 days and the problem will be solved. What do you do for this problem. If the dandruff is there, lots of hair falling will be there.

Hi! Well not only there's hair falling but also dandruff flakes whenever we scratch our heads. It's embarrassing cause the flakes sometimes builds up on our shoulders and when you're wearing dark colored shirts, eewww, they're very visible. I've never tried black pepper and milk. Is it really effective? Nowadays there's a lot of hair products that are very effective in taking away dandruff but they're expensive as well. I know we can also use oil. Apply it on the scalp before taking a bath so the dandruff will be softened and easily washed out.

Yes. Since my childhood we use black pepper (it is a spice, small, round and black in colour, used to cure cold, oough and fever as well as for making masala) and fresh milk ( not milk powder) paste (the more fine paste the better) heat it and apply the entire scalp hot i.e. it should be hot but tolerable. wait for 30 minutes and wash it off with either shikakai powder and leaves of hibiscus paste or soapnut powder paste or bengal gram powder paste. We do not use shampoo as, though it works well, very soon we get grey hair and also because it contains chemicals, our eye sight may also damage and shampoos will have its own side effects even though it is a good quality.

You've never used shampoos? I didn't know that shampoos can make the hair gray faster. Isn't is difficult to use the pepper and milk everyday before taking a bath? I mean with the mixing and everything making the mixture into a paste, it's bothersome for me to be doing all that before taking a bath.

You need not apply this mixture everyday. whenever dandruff is there, then apply this mixture throughout the scalp and massage. wait for 30 mts and wash it off. During the week ends you can try this. If you are satisfied with this treatment, next weekend again do the same thing, and i am sure your dandruff problem will be solved. Ofcourse this is quite boring and bothersome only. But what to do. Our problem should be solved. Is not it.I have seen a number of people who use shampoos since so many years, and over a period of time their hair turns copper red and they are forced to use hair dye to look them black. Also they are facing eye sight problem because of the chemicals present it it.Now i am aged 52 years and still able to maintain black hair and my eyesight is healthy

Hi, vathsala30. I had no idea that a person could use black pepper and milk to cure an dandruff problem. I don't have dandruff like that in my scalp. My husband has a dandruff condition. He uses Selsun Blue in his scalp and on his hair.

Hi cream Your new profile picture is so cute. of course the old one was also cute. Since my childhood whenever we have dandruff, we make a paste of fresh milk and black peppercorn and heat it and directly apply hot (tolerable) in the root of the hair ie on the scalp. after 30 minutes, wash with sikakai powder, hibiscus leaves, curry leaves and lazonia leaves paste. Hair will be soft and silky and every alternate day we wash the hair like this for 3 days. Then no dandruff will be there

Really? Milk and pepper? That sounds good if it works. I just use some dandruff shampoo every once in awhile but I love your milk and pepper idea. Thanks for that

Hi animegirl Once in a week I will use this idea only to keep my hair clean from dandruff. Black pepper powder and fresh milk made to a fine paste and applied to the entire scalp especially the root of each hair and wash after 30 minutes is really helpful
