Hair is the most precious gift that you can flaunt to enhance your beauty, but it’s equally important to take good care of your hair. Here are some Natural Hair Care tips for you to follow.
1. Rinse your hair before you shampoo
Benefit to the ends : Better effectiveness of cleanser, better repair of ends
You can immediately start to get rid of dirt on your hair by first rinsing it. This is a really crucial step that also helps the shampoo or cleanser to work better. Simply sitting under the shower for 2-3 minutes (a real 2-3 minutes and not guesswork) is all that is needed. Cleansing your ends better means that your hair conditioner which follows will have a really nice and clean surface to attach to which means more targeted repair to the ends and therefore better moisture retention.
2. Always rinse off shampoo BEFORE using conditioner
Benefit to the ends : Prevent build up, dryness and ensure effectiveness of conditioner
Some naturals like the ‘buffering’ wash where a little conditioner is applied to hair before rinsing off shampoo. This method carries the risk of build up. Shampoo should be thoroughly rinsed off hair before conditioner is applied (again a real 2-3 minutes). This is because shampoo and conditioner have opposite charges which means that they attract each other. If you shampoo first and apply conditioner over that shampoo, the negative charge of the shampoo will be attracted to the positive charge of conditioner. Hair conditioner is in general heavier and larger and intended to deposit on hair, it can therefore end up trapping the shampoo which is bound to it and not allow it to be rinsed off. This would make hair feel and be drier than if you had taken the time to rinse off the shampoo. Additionally the hair conditioner cannot really work as well as it should in terms of smoothing the cuticle as some of its positive charge is interacting with the shampoo and not the hair.
3. Rinse off conditioner during the wash
Benefit to the ends : Prevent build up and possible breakage, moisturising/ leave ins work better
Some naturals like to leave some conditioner in hair and therefore choose not to wash it out completely during the main wash. Failing to rinse out conditioner can mean that there is excessive product which dries on the hair and scalp. In really bad cases this can cause breakage. It is perfectly fine to use a regular rinse out or deep conditioner as a leave in but when washing hair, that product should be fully rinsed out first and then a very small amount reapplied for the purpose of a leave-in.

1. Regular Massaging with Basic Oils
Regular massaging of the scalp with lukewarm oil helps to stimulate the hair follicles. This is also an easy way to cure hair growth deterrents like dandruff and fungal infections. Regular massaging increases the blood circulation in the scalp. It is also useful for lowering anxiety or stress that is often the underlying reason for thinning of hair. Recommended oils for 3 to 4 times-a-week massaging schedule includes coconut oil. You can alternate this with mustard oil. Keep the oil on for at least six hours before washing it off with a mild shampoo. Other oils that can be mixed with coconut oil in trace amounts for faster results include almond oil.
2. Natural Concoctions for Preventing Hair Loss
Coconut milk is among the richest sources of tissue-nourishing, plant derivatives. It is an excellent home remedy for keeping the hair soft without depending upon chemical formulations and regenerating dead hair follicles. You can also use a concoction of coconut oil mixed with half the amount of Amla oil. Just add a dash of lemon juice to this mixture and you have an effective, dandruff-fighting and scalp-healing concoction that arrests receding hairline.
3. Rinse off conditioner during the wash
Wheatgrass juice is one of the most effective remedies against hair fall. It is known to decrease the shedding tendency of hair within a few weeks of regular intake. Aloe vera juice has a similar effect. However, aloe gel can be applied to the scalp too. This is helpful for preventing hair loss due to irritated, dry or infected scalp.
After massaging the head with aloe gel, wash the hair with lukewarm water. This can be done twice, every week.
4. Slightly Demanding But Very Effective Natural Therapies
You can make your own hair fall-preventing medicine at home by frying some fenugreek (methi) seeds in coconut oil. Strain this mixture and apply it in minimal amounts, rubbed gently into the hair roots.
Alternatively, you can boil some henna leaves in mustard oil. After cooling and straining this preparation, add drops of it in your coconut oil container that you are using for regular massaging.
5. Homemade Pastes
You can wash the hair with a paste made from Neem leaves. This is particularly effective for hair loss caused due excessive build up of scalp oil or invasive skin infections. For restoring the alkaline balance of the scalp and preventing hair fall, you can follow this with washing the hair with apple cider vinegar. Other homemade pastes that can be very useful include a mixture prepared from adding honey and olive oil to some cinnamon (dalchini) powder.
