Aloe Vera Gel Massage: Apply Deyga's Aloe Vera Gel to your scalp and gently massage it. Its transparent, fragrance-free, and pure formula helps hydrate the scalp and reduce dryness.
Coconut Oil: Warm up some coconut oil and massage it into your scalp. Leave it overnight and wash it off the next morning.

2. Oily Skin Dandruff
Oily skin dandruff happens when the scalp produces excess oil, creating an environment where dandruff-causing yeast can thrive.

Home Remedies You Can Try:

Aloe Vera and Lemon Juice: Mix Deyga's Aloe Vera Gel with a few drops of lemon juice. Apply this mixture to your scalp for 20 minutes before washing it off. The gel helps soothe the scalp while lemon juice controls oil production.

Apple Cider Vinegar Rinse: Dilute apple cider vinegar with water and rinse your scalp after shampooing to balance oil production.

3. Fungal Dandruff
Fungal dandruff is caused by a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia that lives on the scalp. When it grows out of control, it can cause dandruff.

Home Remedies You Can Try:

Tea Tree Oil and Aloe Vera Gel: Mix a few drops of tea tree oil with Deyga's Aloe Vera Gel and apply it to your scalp. Tea tree oil has antifungal properties, and aloe vera helps soothe any irritation.

Baking Soda: Mix baking soda with water to create a paste. Apply this to your scalp and rinse after a few minutes to help control fungal growth.
