Maintaining healthy hair is an essential part of one's life as every girl or woman desires for a luscious mane. As with one's skin, keeping hair in good condition depends on proper hair care routine, well-balanced diet and the use of essential oils. At times our hair loses its shine and lustre, it happens when we miss something in our hair care routine. The reasons could be anything like poor lifestyle, dust, stress, improper diet, lack of nutrition, etc. However, the reasons could vary.
Conditioning for dry hair
Every kitchen has some great items for conditioning your hair and make them silky and shiny. Egg yolk, honey and mayonnaise are great for deep conditioning. A paste of 2-3 egg yolks and honey applied for 15-20 minutes is an awesome way to naturally condition your hair.
Dandruff control
Dandruff troubles many of us. It makes the scalp itchy and it simply looks hideous. Lemon, vinegar, amla, honey are great for natural dandruff control. A paste made of a lemon squeeze, a dash of apple cider vinegar with some amla powder can be massaged on the scalp and left for 15 minutes to get rid of that stubborn dandruff.
Oily hair
If your hair becomes oily just a day after a wash, try a vinegar rinse before shampoo. It is really effective in washing away that extra oil.
Hair loss
Onion juice, ginger juice and castor oil (diluted) are irritants and are scientifically proven to be beneficial in hair loss problem. Also, 2-3 times per week use of onion juice on the scalp will reduce your hair fall.
General care
Avoid hot drying, use cold water to wash hair, use sulphate free and pH balanced shampoos, use a broad toothed comb, avoid combing in wet hair.
Diet
A balanced diet is extremely important to have healthy hair. Protein-rich, low dairy and low carbohydrates are the mantras. Good iron intake (spinach, apples, pomegranate) is very important.
