Dandruff is another potentially embarrassing condition that affects many people. You can buy specially formulated shampoo to get rid of dandruff, or you can use something you might not think of -- aspirin. Aspirin is composed of salicylic acid, the same ingredient that helps to get rid of acne. The acid's exfoliating properties help get rid of the flakes of skin on your scalp. To try this home remedy simply crush up one tablespoon of aspirin and mix it into your normal shampoo. Wash your hair, leaving the shampoo on for five to ten minutes. Then, just rinse it away.
