Hair loss solution-- try this natural shikakai recipe for hair growth

Worried about hair loss? Apply this shikaki to your hair and scalp for a month for healthy hair growth, shine and bounce.

One of the most obvious signs of my high stress levels is hair fall. My pillow is the prime witness to the massive hair loss I experience after a long, tiring day at work, before an important project and while trying to meet unreasonable deadlines. Unfortunately, the hair fall doesn t stop as quickly as it starts. In my case, I have experienced a consistent increase in hair fall and decrease in hair growth since the last one year. Now, yoga for hair loss, yoga to reduce stress, drinking more water, exercising and eating right to prevent hair loss works to an extent. But I have observed that my hair, after undergoing bouts of stress and hair loss, needs a bit of TLC in the form of natural home remedies. This particular shikakai powder recipe works really well on my fine, dry hair. Stress doesn t just lead to hair loss, it also takes the shine, bounce and volume away. This shikakai helps in restoring shine and making the hair thicker. Along with regular oiling, applying this shikakai on my hair has helped reduce my fall and also lead to new hair growth.

Try this SLS-free OGX Organix Repairing Awapuhi Ginger Shampoo. Or you can skip shampooing and apply a bit of conditioner on the ends of your hair. Give your hair a final rinse with cold water to seal your cuticles and lock the moisture in. Use this twice a week for 1 month. You are likely to see your hair fall reduce.
