7 Home Remedies For Thick, Dry Hair

Thick hair is hard to handle anyway, but add dryness to the many problems that accompany a thick mane, and well, let’s just say that life isn’t always fair. But we have 7 home remedies for thick, dry hair – both easy to follow and effective. 

The Indian Champi:
Massaging your scalp with oil (coconut, olive) once a fortnight will provide food to your dry hair and help combat dryness. Ensure that you spend ample time massaging the scalp and only apply a thin coat along the hair. The massage increases circulation and stimulates the roots for better hair growth too.


Yogurt:
This is a slightly smelly but very effective solution. Apply yoghurt from root to tip and leave it on for 10 minutes. Yoghurt will make your hair soft and help combat the dryness to leave your tresses bouncy. Ensure that the conditioner you use after has a potent fragrance because the yoghurt tends to leave a strong smell behind. 

Honey: 
This sweet gooey liquid will do your hair much good. Cover your scalp with a layer and then concentrate on the ends. After about 5 minutes, wash your tresses. Use this once every week for soft hair.

Lemon: 
Take about 2 teaspoons of lime juice, and add to about half a bucket of lukewarm water. Use that after your shampoo and rinse. Not only will it help bring out shine in your locks, it will also make your hair feel lighter.

Mayonnaise: 
You can have your mayo and eat it too! Mayonnaise will treat that dry hair of yours with ease, and once the dryness is gone, handling thick hair becomes almost a breeze.

Egg: 
Again, this might be messy – but it works. Beat an egg like you will for an omelette, and then apply it on your hair. Make sure it spreads to the roots. After it dries up, say about in 10 minutes, wash it off with a gentle shampoo and condition your hair. 

Fullers Earth (Multani Mitti)
It works like a charm on your face, and on your scalp! Make a thick paste by adding water and applying it on your scalp. It washes off impurities and is a great way to thoroughly cleanse thick hair. Wash off after 20 minutes and repeat on a monthly basis

5 Natural Tips To Prevent Hair Loss


Try the following easy tips at home and see how effective they are in reducing hair loss!

1. Hot oil treatments:
Take any natural oil - olive, coconut, canola - and heat it up so that it is warm, but not too hot. Massage it gently into your scalp. Put on a shower cap and leave it on for an hour, then shampoo your hair. 

2.
 Natural juices: You can rub your scalp with either garlic juice, onion juice or ginger juice. Leave it on overnight and wash it thoroughly in the morning.

3. Get a head massage:
Massaging your scalp for a few minutes daily will help stimulate circulation. Good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Circulation may be improved through massage by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base.

4. Antioxidants:
Apply warm green tea (two bags brewed in one cup of water) on your scalp and leave this mixture on for an hour and then rinse. Green tea contains antioxidants which prevent hair loss and boost hair growth.

5. Practice meditation:
Believe it or not, most of the times, the root cause for hair loss is stressand tension. Meditation can help in reducing that and restore hormonal balance.
