Infections caused by fungus can happen from time to time. It’s not limited to your kitchen space alone but it can also affect your body too. When it strikes, you are sure to feel uncomfortable especially when there is itching and pain to deal with. You might be surprised but hair fungus can also occur especially when your scalp is filled with oil, dead cells, and even pollutants which make it the perfect breeding ground for fungi. You shouldn’t be surprised to find ringworm on your scalp when you don’t protect your hair. When fungi appear on your scalp, it can become quite itchy, flaky, and even dry too. So how will you be able to remedy this problem?

Neem Oil

Neem Oil is a common component in many Ayurvedic treatments and one of its uses is to treat hair fungus. In this recipe, you will need 2 to 3 tablespoons of coconut oil and a teaspoon of neem oil.

What’s great about apple cider vinegar is that it contains antiseptic, anti-inflammatories, and antimicrobial properties that can help treat hair fungus. ACV can regulate the pH levels of your scalp so that there will be less oil being produced. You can mix some rosemary, green tea, fresh lemon juice, as well as apple cider vinegar in a spray bottle and shake until the ingredients have combined completely. Spray this solution on your scalp and let it soak for 40 minutes. Rinse your hair afterwards. You can repeat this treatment several times in a week until you have treated your scalp completely.

Castor oil is recommended for treating hair fungus as it contains antifungal properties that can easily eliminate the fungal growth on your scalp.
