I think Hair is the most important part of your overall appearance and your personality. So any problem with Hair will directly affect your outlook and confidence. Today I can’t see a single place without pollution and dust. There are several factors which affects the hair health which are direct sunlight, sweating, excess moisture, dust, pollution, smoke, harsh chemicals and many more. I have also seen many people complaining about flakes in hair, excess hair fall, dandruff, baldness, dry hair, split ends in hair and thin hairs. All these are result of lack of hair care and improper nutrition for your hair.
I don’t really think that one should go out to hair spa or beauty parlor for any hair care treatment, just little changes to your lifestyle will do the job. Let me share you what I am doing for hair care which is definitely helping many of my friends who are suffering from similar problems.
Shampoo: This is not a home remedy, but any home remedy is useless if you are constantly using harsh chemicals on your hair. Shampoo is the most important part of your hair care. You may find several brands making hundreds of promise and fake commitments but that doesn’t mean that you try them out on your hair. Choose one shampoo which is lowest on harsh chemicals and stick to it. Choose a shampoo which suits best to your hair. I use Dove shampoo with Dove Conditioner and Dove Hair Serum.
Conditioning: After washing your hair requires conditioning. One must use a good conditioner. I use Dove conditioner when I wash my hair every alternate days and I also use Dove Hair Serum once a week. This keeps my hair lively and moisturized.
Damage Repair with Hot Towel Treatment: Many times when I have to stay longer in sunlight or travel for days, I usually damage my hair. But I have one instant treatment which repairs all the damage in few minutes. That is Hot Towel Treatment. Just follow these steps for Hot Towel Treatment
- Apply coconut oil to your scalps and on the full length of your hair
- Massage gently for 5 to 10 minutes on scalps and also on hair
- Take a bucket of hot water and dip a clean towel in it (better if towel is thick so it can sock more water)
- Wrap this towel on your head and hair and tie it on your head
- Keep this on your head for 15 minutes
- Wash your hair with mild shampoo
- Repeat this once a week
This hot towel treatment will instantly treat dry hair, dry scalp, flakes, dandruff and lifeless hair. The idea is to forcefully inject coconut oil into your scalp and in your hair. You can also use olive oil or any other hair oil for this hot towel treatment. But I find coconut oil as best alternative around.
Curd for Hair: Dandruff is most annoying problem around. And flakes and itchiness in scalps adds to the problem. There is simple homemade remedy for dandruff and flakes. Here Curd comes to your help. Follow these steps.
- On every lazy Sunday morning, take one bowl of curd (sour if possible) and mix it well.
- Apply this curd on your hair from scalp till the end of your hair length.
- This may make your clothes and floor dirty, so choose clothes and location accordingly.
- Once you apply 150 gms to 200 gms of curd to your hair, tie your hair on your head.
- And stay in this condition for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Then wash your hair with mild shampoo
- Repeat this once a week or alternate weeks
This will cure dandruff, flakes, itchy scalp and dry hair. After two to three treatments with curd you can find shine in your hair and firmness in your scalp.
Egg for Hair: If you don’t mind applying Egg to your hair then it’s the best conditioner around which is enriched with protein and natural oils. Just follow the following steps for this simple homemade remedy
- Take two raw eggs and mix the liquid in a bowl
- Apply to your hair and scalp
- Tie your hair on your head
- Keep your hair in same condition for 15 minute (not more than 15 min)
- Wash your hair with mild shampoo (you may want to wash it twice if you don’t like egg’s smell)
- Apply conditioner and rinse
- Repeat twice a month
This will add life, shine, waviness and thickness to your hair. You will notice the difference after couple of weeks.
