Here are a few common hair-
related problems we encounter and
some tips to overcome them
Dandruff: Soak a few fenugreek
(methi) seeds overnight in water
and grind it to a fine paste in the
morning. Apply the paste on the
head for 30mins and wash off. This
not just has cooling effect, but also
keeps your hair dandruff-free.
Hair fall: Mix cocnut and gingelly
(sesame) oil. Add an amla
(gooseberry), a few leaves of white
hibiscus and boil for 20mins. Let
the mixture cool and apply this oil
on your head and wash off after 20
mins. This will help prevent hair fall.
Grey hair: Soak henna in an iron
vessel for at least 3 hours. Add sour
curd and squeeze half a lemon to
the paste and apply on the hair.
Wash off after 2-3 hours. This will
also keep the head cool.
Lack-luster hair: Take egg white
and apply on the hair. Leave it for
30 mins and rinse with shampoo. Egg
gives shine to the dull hair.
Brittle hair: If your hair is
brittle due to over use of henna.
Give your head an oil massage the
day you wash the hair. This will not
only enhance the hair colour, but
also makes the hair smooth.
Split ends: Get an oil massage
done on your head. Dip the ends of
your hair in hot coconut oil and
wrap a tower dipped in hot water
around the head. After sometime,
wash off with cold water.
After shampooing your hair, just
wash your hair with cold water. This
closes any open pores on the head
and ensures the hair strands are
sealed.
