Many people have tried to get rid of dandruff with lemon juice, but does it really work?
The idea of using lemon juice is that it alters the pH level, that is, the acidity of the scalp and protects it against the microbe that causes dandruff, Malassezia globosa.
However, while it may have a very brief effect on the microbe, any change in pH is temporary.
The pH level of your scalp varies throughout the day. Any change that occurs from using lemon juice as a natural remedy will be quickly reversed.
To truly treat dandruff, you need a shampoo with an active ingredient that fights the root cause of the problem.
Head & Shoulders shampoos contain zinc pyrithione, which has been proven effective in combating the Malassezia globosa microbe in hundreds of clinical studies.
The result? Fabulous, dandruff-free hair. And if you like the fresh, citrusy scent of lemon, why not try our Citrus Fresh shampoo?
