Long Thick Black Hair: Every girl and woman wants her hair to be black, thick and long. But due to changing lifestyle, pollution and chemical products, hair health is being adversely affected. No matter how expensive the shampoos and serums available in the market are, they are not able to nourish the hair from within. In such a situation, grandmother’s old home remedies can still work wonders. These remedies not only strengthen the hair, but also maintain their natural beauty. Let us know some effective remedies by adopting which you can get the desired hair.
Amla has been called “elixir of hair” in Ayurveda. It is rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, which strengthen the hair roots and prevent premature graying. You can extract the juice of Amla and apply it directly on the scalp or prepare oil by cooking dried Amla in coconut oil.
Fenugreek contains protein and nicotinic acid, which promotes hair growth and prevents hair fall. Make a paste by grinding fenugreek seeds soaked in water overnight and apply it on the scalp. Wash with mild shampoo after 30 minutes. Use this remedy twice a week.
Grandmother always used to say that curry leaves are not just for food but also a boon for hair. Boil curry leaves in coconut oil and cool this oil and apply it on hair. This strengthens the hair roots and makes the hair black and shiny.
Curd deep conditions the hair and honey maintains moisture in it. Mix these two and apply on hair length and scalp. Wash with lukewarm water after 20–30 minutes. This pack softens the hair and also provides relief from dandruff.
Onion contains sulfur in abundance, which is very helpful in hair growth. Extract onion juice and apply it on the scalp and wash it after 15-20 minutes. This causes new hair growth and strengthens the old hair.
In grandmother’s time, reetha and shikakai were used instead of shampoo. Along with cleaning the hair, it also nourishes it. Soak them in water overnight, boil them and then filter and wash hair with that water. It works as a natural cleanser.
Aloe vera is very beneficial not only for the skin but also for the hair. Extract the gel from fresh aloe vera leaves and apply directly on the scalp. It conditions the hair, relieves itching and makes the hair thicker.
