solution to hair problems
Nowadays, hair related problems are increasing rapidly in the young generation. These include hair fall, dandruff, dry hair and premature graying. Poor diet, stress, pollution and lack of hair care can be the reason behind these problems. In such situations, people resort to expensive hair care products. But some home remedies can also be effective.
Essential Ingredients for Herbal Hair Oil
To make this herbal oil the following ingredients will be required:
- curry leaves
- neem leaves
- nigella seeds
- fenugreek seeds
- coconut oil
- 2 camphor cakes
Method to make herbal hair oil
First fry curry leaves, neem leaves, nigella seeds and fenugreek seeds on low flame. Take care that these do not burn. Then heat coconut oil in a pan. If you want, you can also use sesame oil. After this, put the roasted ingredients in oil.
Adding camphor is recommended, but it can cause scalp irritation, so avoid adding it. After heating the mixture on low flame, turn off the gas and let the oil cool down. When the oil cools down, filter it and fill it in a clean container.
How to use the oil?
Before applying the oil, test it by applying it on a small area of the skin to see if there is any itching or burning sensation. Then apply it on hair and scalp as per requirement and massage gently. After some time wash with normal shampoo. Initially use it once a week.
However, it is important to note that while coconut oil can help in conditioning the hair, it may not be a solution to hair fall or dandruff for everyone.
Hair Care Tips
Relying only on oil for hair care is not enough. A balanced diet, protein intake, good sleep and scalp cleanliness are also essential. If hair is continuously falling or turning grey, it would be advisable to consult a dermatologist. The effect of home remedies may vary from person to person, so be careful.
