A collection of hair care tips and solutions

 

Name one woman who has never been concerned about her hair. We are always trying to make it look more beautiful, healthier, thicker, more bouncy, more lustrous and just more gorgeous. Hair care is not just a quick shampoo; in fact most of us have just a little extra regimen to take care of it. As one keeps a daily routine to clean the body, hair too should be cleaned the same way. Longer the hair more care they require. As dust and dirt sticks on hair they require more care when it comes to cleaning and it should be in one's daily routine.

Firstly, if you pick out a shampoo for oily hair when your hair is actually dry, it will only damage your hair. Understanding the kind of hair you have is important; the proof lies in that nearly all shampoo brands produce different products for different kinds of hair. Your hair can be oily, dry or balanced. Find out what your hair type is so you can nourish it better.
So depending on the hair type and keeping in mind the hair problems on suffers, one should maintain their hair care. One should wash hair properly with a good shampoo, which is their hair type, as for dry hair a shampoo that is specially made for dry hair should be used. Try to avoid using a hairdryer to dry your hair, let it rather dry naturally.

TIPS FOR HEALTHY SHINY HAIR…..

For Healthy and Shiny hair It is better to apply castor oil for a healthy growth of hair. Wash hair with tea once in a week.

Apply the mixture of an egg white, 2 spoon of castor oil, 1 spoon glycerine, in the scalp and hair. Wash it after some time. Massage hair with warm coconut oil an hour before washing. Let it soak. Cover your head with a hot towel and wash your hair after an hour or so.  Do a 'steam-towel-wrap' once in a while, if your cuticles are damaged, as this steaming opens out the pores and absorbs the oil. Mix a little vinegar in warm water and rinse your hair with this solution. This will add bounce to dull and lifeless hair. Soak 1 teaspoon fenugreek/methi in curd and keep it for a night. Have it in the next morning. Boil coconut oil with the juices of curry leaves, basil, hibiscus flower and gooseberry. Apply on hair, keep it for sometime and rinse.

Egg white and curd is a good conditioner for hair.  Take a cup of coconut and mustard oils. Soak half a cup of curry leaves in the oil mixture and keep it for a night. Next morning, heat on a slow fire till the curry leaves turn crisp. Remove from heat and add two to three camphor balls. Allow oil to cool and then strain. Apply oil to hair roots using cotton wool along the parting and massage in circular movements. Leave the oil overnight and shampoo the next morning. Repeat twice a week.
