At the same time, coconut oil is known to nourish hair and scalp. It easily reaches the hair roots and helps in moisturizing them. At the same time, using alum alone can make the scalp very dry. Therefore it is applied by mixing it with coconut oil.

Keep these things in mind

Alum does not have the same effect on everyone's scalp. In some people, this may cause dry scalp or problems like itching and burning. Therefore, before applying alum on the entire head, do a patch test on a small part of the hand or scalp. At the same time, avoid using alum excessively. It would be better to apply it only 1 to 2 times a week. If dandruff persists, there is excessive itching, redness or wounds on the scalp, then do not apply alum on the hair without consulting a doctor or dermatologist.
