Long,
thick and lustrous hair is high on every woman’s wishlist. But
everyday exposure to dust, pollution, sun and dirt makes it an almost
impossible dream to achieve. Products available in the market contain
chemicals which do more harm than good in the long run. So how do you
combat all these problems while still keeping hair healthy and
strong?
Here
are some easy home-made beauty tips for hair to follow:
1.
General Health:- Diet-
Diet plays a very important part in the overall health of our hair
just like skin. Here are a few additions to your diet as per your
hair type that will help you add some glory to your crowning glory.
Normal
Hair: Fish, chicken, dals, sprouts.
Dry
Hair: Raw vegetables, pulses, brown rice, bananas, nuts, vitamin E
capsules.
Oily
Hair: Green leafy vegetables, salads, fresh fruits, yogurt.
2.
Shampoo:- The most important of steps to keeping your
hair healthy is keeping it clean. And the product you choose needs to
be right for you. Always use mild shampoo and as per your hair type.
For
dry hair:- Choose
one doesn’t further strip your hair of its natural oils.
For
Oily hair:- Choose
one that works on limiting the activity of your oily scalp
Do
use a clarifying shampoo every once in awhile or the product build up
will effect the results that you shampoo has. Ladies, please remember
that the shampoo is meant to clean your scalp and not condition your
hair so aver doing the shampoo for dry hair is not going to help you
in anyway. If anything it will only cause harm in the long run. Use
only a drop the size of a coin for one wash, it is more than
sufficient.
3.
The best conditioners:-Eggs
work wonders on your hair. The yolk is rich in fat and proteins which
greatly acts in moisturising while the white helps to remove unwanted
oils.Use egg to condition normal hair, egg yolks for dry hair and
whites for oily hair. Remember to rinse with lukewarm water only !!!
4.

juice and olive oil-An itchy scalp can be a result of poor diet,
stress or climate. Treat it with a mixture of 2 tbsp fresh lemon
juice, olive oil and water.
