Health Tips on Hair


NATURAL TREATMENT FOR WHITE HAIR
                No matter what type of hair nature blessed you with; there are things you can do to keep it healthy, lustrous, looking its best.
For many people, hair turning gray or white can be very embarrassing, particularly when it happens before a certain age. But due to their hectic lifestyles these days both men and women suffer from hair loss, dandruff problems and premature graying of hair. As one gets older, the hair loses its natural color and turns grey. But premature graying is a morose condition wherein even the young appear old due to the color of their hair. This is of much concern to men and women alike.
A few herbal and home remedies for hair loss, premature graying and dandruff are mentioned herein:
REMEDY 1
Amla or the Indian gooseberry is an excellent tonic for premature graying of hair and preventing hair loss. Cut a few Amla fruits into pieces, dry it in shade and boil in coconut oil until the solid matter is well cooked and appears dark in color. This oil when massaged into the scalp every day is the best medicine for premature graying of hair. Even the water in which a few dried pieces of Amla are soaked overnight can be used for rinsing hair. This is very nourishing and helps prevent premature graying. Also massaging Amla juice, mixed with almond oil and few drops of lime juice every night is found to be beneficial in treating premature graying of hair.
REMEDY 2
For white hair apply a mixture of coconut oil and curry leaves. This treatment can be done on a daily basis. Take ½ a cup of curry leaves and 1/8 cup of coconut oil in a saucepan. Bring it to boil at medium flame. Keep the pan aside till the mixture has cooled down to the room temperature. Gently massage this mixture onto your scalp and leave for 20 minutes. Wash your head with lukewarm water and mild shampoo.
REMEDY 3
Adding curry leaves to one’s regular diet has proven to be beneficial in treating premature graying of hair, as the curry leaves add strength and vitality to hair. Curry leaves can also be boiled in coconut oil and applied regularly for healthy hair.
REMEDY 4
A mixture of carrot seed essential oil and sesame oil can be applied to the scalp and roots of the hair to help cure white hair. To make this treatment, combine ½ teaspoon of carrot seed essential oil and 4 tablespoon of sesame oil in a dark, clean glass bottle with air tight lid and shake well to mix. Gently massage the mixture onto the scalp and roots of your hair and leave it on for 30 minutes.
REMEDY 5
Mixture of buttermilk and curry leaves. You just need to mix a tablespoon of curry leaves to a cup of buttermilk. Apply on your scalp and massage gently. Wash after 30 minutes.
REMEDY 6
To restore the colour of your hair apply mixture of lime juice, amla juice and almond oil. You can safely keep this mixture in refrigerator for 3days. To make the mixture take 4 tablespoon of almond oil, 1 tablespoon of amla and lemon juice. Gently massage on scalp and leave for 45 minutes. Wash your head with cool water and moisturizing shampoo. For best results apply this mixture on daily basis.
Point to Remember:
Never attack wet hair with a brush, no matter how rushed for time you are. Tangles in wet hair are best removed with a wide-toothed comb. Use a wooden comb if you can find one it won’t generate static electricity. Excessive blow-drying can damage hair in the long-term, making it brittle and causing split ends. If you can, let your hair dry naturally, then brush into place.
