hi there
Massage scalp with warm coconut or castor oil twice a week. Massage scalp with finger tips in a circular motion for at least half an hour. Leave on the oil over-night and shampoo the following morning. This prevents hair from becoming dry and prevents dandruff and hair fall by improving circulation and strengthening hair roots. Lack of vitamins too can lead to hair loss and pre-mature greying of hair. Eating plenty of fruit and vegetables primarily leafy vegetables will help curb hair loss. Spinach (palak) and fenugreek (methi) are strongly recommended for healthy hair. Indian gooseberry (amla) and mangoes are hair-friendly fruit that one must eat in abundance (go easy on the mangoes though). Beat two eggs and add two tablespoons of water to it. Wet the hair and apply the egg mixture over the hair. Now massage your scalp and let the mixture on for ten minutes to fifteen minutes. Then rinse the hair with lukewarm water. Dyed hair gets affected easily by the cold winter weather. Hair becomes dry and looks dull, the ends tend to split resulting in loss of hair. To prevent this you need special hair conditioners. `Banana Pack' is one such conditioner.
To make this you need:
• About half a dozen ripe bananas, two eggs and half-cup beer.
• Mash the bananas well and mix with the rest.
• Apply this to the hair - from the scalp to the tip.
• Keep the conditioner for at least half an hour before washing it off with a mild organic shampoo.
• The protein of egg and moisturising property of bananas will make the dry hair soft and silky.
