1 Apply Warm Oil to Your Hair
Grandma was right about this! Using a warm, natural oil on your hair can do wonders for scalp health, hair health and texture, and stimulate general wellness too. Here are some oils you should consider including in your regimen.
Coconut Oil: This age-old remedy has stood the test of time! It works on all hair types and is locally available and affordable. It does away with dandruff, softens the hair, repairs split-ends and boosts hair growth. It also protects the hair from losing protein. For best results, use extra virgin coconut oil.
Argan oil: Argan oil is non-native to India but has been catching up recently as a force to reckon with. Extracted from the kernels of the Argan tree, found in Morocco, it is replete with Vitamin E, making it the perfect moisturiser for dry and lacklustre hair, reducing frizz.
Castor oil: The oil extracted from castor seeds has many health benefits but is particularly good for hair health. It is a great moisturiser and helps prevent the scalp from flaking. It also reduces breakage at the roots by providing nourishment and lubrication.
Bringhraj: This oil is used extensively in Ayurvedic treatments and in the beauty industry. Bringhraj oil cannot be used by itself but works best with a carrier oil. It helps activate hair follicles when massaged into the hair and stimulates hair growth.
Choose a natural oil based on your needs and hair type and massage it well into your scalp and hair for optimum hair health.
