Citrus fruits like lemon and orange work great for removing dandruff from your scalp. Collect the peels of oranges and lemons, dry them until hard and powder them. A heaped teaspoon of powder should be mixed with 100ml of base oil and heated until it fumes. Allow the oil to cool down, filter and store in an airtight container.

Heat the pot and stir until the water gets evaporated. You may try burning the mixture on a stove to see if the water has evaporated. If it has not, there will be a cracking noise.
