Abstract

This review provides insight into dandruff, a scalp condition that affects over 50% of the population. Dandruff is a common disease of the scalp, characterized by the presence of corneocytes, which are so tightly bound that they form clusters in the form of itchy, scaly white to yellowish scales. Malassezia furfur is considered the main cause of dandruff, intended to investigate other causes of dandruff, including microbial causes there are also non microbial cause such as cold weather, dry indoor heating, infrequent shampooing of the hair or inadequate rising of scalp, Allergic hypersensitive, Lack of rest and fatigue, stress, anxiety and tension etc. According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2001), traditional medicine serves as the primary source of care for 80% of the world's population. According to 2001 research by the WHO, there are 21,000 plant species have the potential to be used as therapeutic plants. Neem, a member of the Meliaceae family of plants, is one of the traditional medicines used to cure a variety of illnesses, including bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, diabetes, helminthes, and bacterial and fungal infections. Numerous individuals experienced increased dandruff severity, including hair loss and skin inflammation. Despite the fact that some the majority of anti-dandruff medications that have been created are ineffective, and some fungi also acquire resistance to antifungal medications. In order to identify neem’s phytochemical composition against dandruff, the current study will do so. A key member of the Rutaceae family of therapeutic plants is the lemon. Lemon is grown primarily for its alkaloids, which have anticancer properties. Crude extracts of Lemon's leaves, stem, root, and flower have also been shown to have antibacterial potential against clinically significant bacterial strains. About 5% to 6% of citric acid is present in lemon juice. It is also regarded as having anti-microbial properties against bacterial and fungal illnesses. The juice's acidic action has a significant potential to prevent the growth of fungi. An effective treatment for Malassezia is being developed using lemon.
