Hair care

Healthy hair is a crucial part of woman's beauty.

Everyone desires beautiful, long, healthy and problem free hair. We try a lot of new shampoos, conditioners and hair masks. Instead of trying synthetic methods, I am suggesting easy and natural ways to keep your hair healthy and problem-free.

1.Olive, egg mask for healthy hair:
3 big spoons olive oil, 1 egg.

Mix oil and egg properly and spread it on your scalp. Massage your scalp for 5 min. Then wrap a warm towel around your head for 30 min. Wash your hair with the regular shampoo.

2. Honey almond mask for dry hair:
2 teaspoon of honey, 1/2 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of almond oil.

Mix them all together. Apply it on hair till the ends. Massage your scalp for 5 min. Wash your hair after 30 min.

3. Rum conditioner for Shining hair:
3 tablespoons of rum, 1 egg.
Mix the rum and egg together.

After shampooing, pour the mixture into your hair. Massage for 2 min and leave it for 5 min. Rinse your hair with lukewarm water.

4. Jojoba oil and beer conditioner:
1 cup warm beer
1 teaspoon jojoba oil.

Mix beer and oil together. Make sure the beer is warm or the oil will turn hard (jojoba oil is similar to wax). Pour the mixture over your head, massage your scalp for 5 min. Wash your hair with the regular shampoo.

5. Dandruff control treatment:
2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoon water, 2 tablespoon olive oil.

Mix all the ingredients together and massage into your scalp. Leave it for 30 min and wash your hair with mild herbal shampoo. If you have dry scalp please use anti- dandruff shampoo. I suggest Ginger Anti-dandruff Shampoo from Body Shop.

6. Healthy hair oil:
1 teaspoon almond oil, 1 teaspoon castor oil.

Mix oils together. Warm it up a bit and massage your scalp for 10-15 min. Apply the oil on hair till the ends. Wrap a warm towel for 15 min or take steam.
Wash your hair after 2 hours.

7. Henna pack for deep conditioning:
1/2 cup henna powder, 2 tablespoon honey, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 3 tablespoon curd.

Mix all the ingredients and make a smooth paste. Put some water if needed. Apply this pack on hair. Wrap your hair with a plastic cap. Leave for 30 min. And wash off with warm water.

8.Oil for hair loss:
Castor oil 1 cup, 1 teaspoon fenugreek seeds.

Boil castor oil with fenugreek seeds for about 20 min. Let it cool. Use this hair oil for hair massage.

9.Avocado, banana mask for damaged hair:
1 tablespoon almond oil, 3 tablespoons of both ripe banana and avocado pulp.

Mix all the ingredients. Apply this paste on your hair till ends for 20 min. Wrap your hair with a cap. Wash your hair with warm water.

Recommendations for hair care:
1. Never wash your hair with too hot or too cold water. Use lukewarm water to wash your hair.
2. For healthy hair eat a lot of vegetables which has iron like spinach, broccoli, radish. If you eat non-veg then chicken liver, pork liver, shrimps are the best source of iron.
3. Avoid blow-drying everyday.
4. Avoid too much of highlighting, straitening of hair.
5. Avoid oily and spicy food.
6. Clean your combs, hair brushes twice a week.
7. Do not change your shampoo and conditioners every now and then.
8. Do yoga and regular exercise.
9. Wash your hair at least 3 times a week and dry them properly.
10.Do not do hard massage and scrubbing on your scalp.
