Hair care Tips

Hi Friends,
Today I'm going to  give few  hair care  tips..

• Always give a good massage to head  while applying hair oil, for better  blood circulation. It will help hair growth.
• Never   scratch on head . Use finger tips to give a good massage. Its always good if a second person can massage  your head.. It will give a  refreshing effect as well as  better blood flow.
•  Apply oil  twice a week .Take bath after half an hour with a mild shampoo. 
• After bath, don't brush wet hair. 
•  Hair fall solution : Mix 2 table spoon of  castor oil with 4 table spoon on coconut oil(Instead of coconut oil ,you can use olive oil too) and apply this on hair (Massage head for 5 minutes and ). Wash hair after 1.5 hours.   Hair fall will stop and you will get  thick , black hair within 1 month . :)
•  For people  who are staying in cities/ who   are using  chlorine water for hair wash ....               Store one bucket of water at night  before sleep . Next day morning , do hair wash in that water. Never use the  chlorine water directly on hair . This will damage your hair completely. 
•  Once in two weeks, put a hair  pack and wash hair after  2 hours.    You can find  natural hair pack details below.

Pack 1:

  Henna (Mehendi leaves powder) - 3 table spoon

  Egg - 1 

  Tea - 1/4 glass
