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

Apply besan in the hair and wash it with water drained from the cooked rice. Soak a handful of gooseberries in a cup of milk for two hours. Make a paste and apply on the hair. Apply the mixture of an egg white, 2 spoons of castor oil, 1 spoon glycerin, 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 yourhair after an hour or so. Boil a few hibiscus flowers in coconut oil. Filter and use this hair oil to control hair loss and thinning. 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. Soak 1 teaspoon fenugreek in curd and keep it for a night. Apply 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. Take a cup each coconut and mustard oil. 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.

Add a lemon peel to a 'shikakai' and 'amla' mixture while washing your hair.

For Graying

Take a little Mehandi , an egg, juice of half a lemon, one table spoon of instant coffee powder. Mix it together and apply on the hair. Wash it after 45 minutes. Boil one cup of dried gooseberry with 4 cups of water. Add a pinch of sugar in it. Keep boiling till the quantity of the liquid reduces to one cup. Mix 2 cups of Mehendi, an egg, juice of a lemon and the gooseberry solution and apply on hair. Wash the hair after two hours.

Natural Conditioners

Henna is a herbal treatment with good conditioning abilities.

Egg white is a good conditioner for hair. Deep condition with curd, beer and egg. Mix a little vinegar in warm water and rinse your hair with this solution. This will add bounce Brush your hair regularly before going to bed each night. Wash your hair with a mild shampoo. Use very little but enough to cover hair completely with lather. Use a conditioner to keep hair manageable. Avoid brushing wet hair. This will cause the hair to stretch and finally break. Finger-dry, or use a wide-toothed comb instead of a brush to gently remove the knots.

Restrict blow-drying your hair. The process of blow-drying is harsh on hair as it robs it of moisture. Avoid dyes. Use mehandi (henna) instead as a conditioner and colouring agent. Take a calcium supplement or drink two glasses of milk a day. Always hold hair dryer away from your hair. Direct air from the hair dryer down hair shaft and not directly into the roots and keep it moving. After a perm, never brush your hair. Instead comb hair gently. Trim your hair once in 7 weeks to avoid split ends. Avoid pulling back your hair tightly. Never use a rubber band on your hair as it can pull and damage hair considerably. Never go out in the sun without having your head covered. Stimulate circulation by massaging your head with oil to which some vitamin E has been added. This will make hair soft and silky. Never wash your hair with very hot or very cold water. Learn to relax. Hair loss can happen because of stress. Eat foods that are rich in vitamin B, C and E. Add iron and minerals in the natural form in your diet. If your hair is oily, cut down on fried food and fat. Drink plenty of water.
