Hair Care

It is a myth that applying oil regularly will aid to the growth of hair. Nothing can boost hair growth other than healthy food habits. If one doesn't have nay hair problem it means that the person is healthy but there is always a loss of few hairs daily and it is natural. Excess hair fall, week and dry hair etc.... are because of insufficient nutrition to the body. Eat balanced diet, add fruits and veggies ( greens and leafy ones especially) to daily diet and it will surely improve the condition of hair. 

1. Taking oil bath at least once in a week will help to reduce heat in the body ( excess heating of body is the main cause of many hair and skin problems)

2. Heat pure coconut oil or Sesame oil or castor oil or olive oil, apply it on scalp and hair generously. Massage the scalp for 5 mts, leave it and rinse off after 1 hour with a mild shampoo.

3. Always use mild shampoo or home made shikakai and wash the hair in luck warm water as hot water damages the root.

4. Don't apply oil and go out as it will accumulate dust and there are chances of getting dandruff if not rinsed frequently.

5. Washing the hair 2 times a week is more than enough. If needed hair can be rinsed with plain water daily and blown dry in order to control frizziness. 

6.Using Anti-dandruff shampoos should be avoided as it contain harsh chemicals.

7. Let the hair dry naturally after washing as using hair driers often damages the hair.

8. While using hair straightener, irons make sure to apply a protective straightening gel.

9. Rinse the hair daily at night if you have the habit of applying gels, serums daily.
