The Hair is the first most noticeable part of a person.

Hair is the most significant part of your look and sets the tone for your entire appearance and adds to your personality.

Nourished and well-maintained hair will make you will feel in control of yourself. And eventually, makes you feel confident and beautiful.

Here are my 5 natural ways to nourish your hair:

1. Mixture of Coconut oil and camphor

Camphor has antibacterial and antifungal properties, which helps cure dandruff and reduces hair fall.

Camphor also moisturizes the dry scalp and hence prevents dryness and itchiness of the scalp.

It also helps promotes proper blood circulation in the scalp region, which helps nourish the hair and makes the hair strong and unbreakable.

Coconut oil is an ancient and effective hair solution.

You can use – cold-pressed, virgin or natural coconut oils as they are the best for your hair.

Coconut oil is packed with vitamins and minerals. The oil gives shine and nourishment to the hair.

The antifungal and antibacterial properties present the coconut oil helps cleanse and strengthen the hair.

Coconut oil locks in the moisture in your hair which helps beat the dryness and keeps the hair nourished and healthy.

Coconut oil cures the itchiness immediately and also helps get rid of dandruff.

Both camphor and coconut oil are affordable, readily available and great for the hair.

To make this oil mixture take a cup of coconut oil and add 3 -4 camphor tablets to it. Heat this mixture till the camphor starts dissolving in the coconut oil.

Massage this mixture of coconut oil and camphor into your scalp and hair.

Wash your hair after 30 minutes.

Applying camphor coconut oil and allowing it to stay in your hair overnight will give even better results.

Two is better than one!

2. Apply henna instead of hair dye

There is a sudden increase in the number of people highlighting or dying their hair.

This has led to the availability of a wide range of “hair colouring products”, at a click of a button.

But, the art of hair colouring is ancient!

During the ancient eras, people simply used natural dyes made from parts of the plants.

Eventually, Henna and Indigo became the most popular and effective dyes for the hair.

Henna is the most popular and a great ingredient to naturally dye hair, across the world.

Henna can strengthen, condition and nourish your hair from deep within!

As Henna is a natural dye, it minimizes hair damaging and breakage, unlike chemical products.

Henna stimulates the scalp and hair follicles. This helps in the increase of hair growth.

Henna helps strengthen the hair and adds volume to hair.

Henna has conditioning properties that help improve and retain the hydration, softness and shine of the hair.

 Henna powder is a great hair cleanser and thus helps combat dandruff.

Make your own henna hair pack, by adding water. Or, you can choose from – oil, curd, boiled tea leaves, coffee powder, anything of your choice to make a nutritive healthy henna hair pack.

Apply is DIY henna hair pack, and leave it for 3 hours and then rinse your hair. Do not shampoo.

Then massage your hair with the camphor- coconut oil and leave it for a day.

Shampoo your hair the next day. You will definitely notice a great difference in your hair.

Old is gold!

3. Curd masks

Curd is one of the oldest remedies for hair care in India.

Curd is rich in vitamins, which makes it a great superfood for our hair.

Curd has antibacterial properties and is rich in fatty acids that are vital for healthy, smooth and frizz-free hair.

A curd mask is an excellent ingredient to cure scalp problems like dandruff, dryness and itchiness. It also helps soften and strengthen the cuticle.

You can apply curd directly to your hair or make a curd hair pack by mixing multani mitti powder (Fuller’s Earth), alma powder (Indian gooseberry), reetha powder (Indian soapberry) or shikakayi powder (Senegalia rugata), besan (gram flour) or any essential oils to make a paste.

Apply this curd hair mask and leave it on for 30 minutes.

Wash your hair with your regular shampoo.

4. Honey masks

Honey is used all over the world for medicinal purposes and as a natural sweetener.

Honey contains vitamins, minerals, proteins and antioxidant properties.

Honey has been used to cure wounds, digestive issues, soothing sore throat and improving skin conditions. Honey also cures hair problems.

Honey has medicinal properties that help and improve the health of your hair.

A honey hair mask provides nourishment and conditioning to your hair.

Honey has therapeutic properties, so it has been used for rinsing and conditioning hair, for centuries.

A honey hair mask will moisturize your hair and scalp. This will reduce hair breakage and restore the natural shine of your hair.

This will in turn reduce the fizziness in the hair and soften and smoothen the texture of the hair.

You can make your own honey hair mask by adding your favourite hair oils. I mix olive oil and honey together to make my honey hair mask.

Massage your scalp and hair with this mixture and leave it for 30 minutes.

Wash your hair with a mild shampoo.

If healthy hair were flowers than love is their honey!

5. Scalp massage

The scalp is one of the hardest places for blood to flow.

To increase and fasten the blood flow to the scalp, head massages are the best solution.

The increased blood flow to the scalp nourishes the hair follicles and helps strengthen the hair.

Scalp massage restores flexibility and let go of tension, and calms the mind and the body. This creates a perfect situation for new hair growth.

Head massages stimulate the scalp which promotes the removal of dead cells, excess oils and dirt on the scalp.

Scalp massages done with natural oils protects and conditions the hair. Natural Oils soften and condition the hair. 

Massaging the hair will replenish and rejuvenate damaged hair and add shine and nourishment to the hair.
