Beauty Tips # 05 - Hair care

1. Take few semi smashed garlic and few half broken pepper corn with few spoons of coconut oil. Heat this. Don’t allow this to boil. Then cool it down. Filter the oil and remove the debris. Once it comes to room temperature apply the oil on your scalp. It helps fighting against dandruff and lice.

2. Custard apple’s seeds are proven anti dandruff agent. So collect the seeds, powder them. Apply it along with oil on your scalp. Keep it for 20minutes. Then give your hair a shampoo wash.

Note: Some people may be allergic to custard apple seeds. (It may cause small dot like rashes on face) . So please go for a test wash first.

3. Tea is a safe, effective and healthy hair conditioner. Boil 4 spoons of tea powder in a mug of water. Filter the tea water. Add this to a ¼ bucket of water. After shampoo wash, rinse the hair with pure water, then finally rinse the hair with tea water. It gives a shiny and lively hair. Also prevents hair breakage. ( I always use this, very effective)

Note: It is advisable to have shampoo wash twice a week. On every shampoo wash, let this tea wash be the last step. People, who rely on henna for hair colouring, once you wash away the henna, finally rinse your hair with this tea water. It will give wonderful result.

4. Egg wash is good for hair as egg is rich in protein which is the building block of human hair. But it may be allergic to some people as egg has Biotin- a biomolecule which is known as an allergen to some people. So go for a test wash first.

5. Annapaal (Water used to boil rice) nourishes hair very nicely. In this pressure cooker era it’s not available in our day to day life. But if you are willing, boil a half cup of rice with 8cups of water. Then collect the water which is annapaal, allow it to cool down. Mix sikaikaai powder with this annapaal and apply it on hair. Rinse it. Finally rinse the hair with tea water. Don’t use shampoo along with this procedure.
