For Healthy and Shiny hair

•    It is better to apply castor oil for a healthy growth of hair.
•    Wash hair with tea once in a week.
•    Apply besan in the hair and wash it with water drained from the cooked rice.
•    Soak a handful of gooseberries in a cup of milk for two hours. Make a paste and apply on the hair.
•    Apply the mixture of an egg white, 2 spoons of castor oil, 1 spoon glycerin, in the scalp and hair. Wash it after some time.
•    Massage hair with warm coconut oil an hour before washing. Let it soak. Cover your head with a hot towel and wash your hair after an hour or so. 
•    Boil a few hibiscus flowers in coconut oil. Filter and use this hair oil to control hair loss and thinning.
•    Do a 'steam-towel-wrap' once in a while, if your cuticles are damaged, as this steaming opens out the pores and absorbs the oil.
•    Soak 1 teaspoon fenugreek in curd and keep it for a night. Apply it in the next morning.
•    Boil coconut oil with the juices of curry leaves, basil, hibiscus flower and gooseberry. Apply on hair, keep it for sometime and rinse.
•    Take a cup each coconut and mustard oil. Soak half a cup of curry leaves in the oil mixture and keep it for a night. Next morning, heat on a slow fire till the curry leaves turn crisp. Remove from heat and add two to three camphor balls. Allow oil to cool and then strain. Apply oil to hair roots using cotton wool along the parting and massage in circular movements. Leave the oil overnight and shampoo the next morning. Repeat twice a week.
•    Add a lemon peel to a 'shikakai' and 'amla' mixture while washing your hair.

Coconut Milk Protein Treatment

Ingredients: 1 - 14.5 oz. can of coconut milk (you can make your own coconut milk using real coconuts, but for the sake of time and convenience, I used the canned milk), 4 tbs. of raw honey (I substituted honey for vegetable glycerin), 4 tbs. extra virgin olive oil Note: You may have to adjust measurements according to your needs.

Wisk all ingredients in a large bowl, pour mixture over your head, cover with a plastic cap, and allow it to sit in your hair for 30 – 45 minutes. Use on dry, unwashed hair (source: Moptop Maven.com)

Some extra tips that may  help:
     
~ Massage this mixture in your hair if you have hair loss or issues
   with dandruff 
       
~ Pour the mixture in a  pitcher for easier application. If you can,
   enlist the help of someone like your partner or kid to help you pour the mixture
   over your head—this can make the process less messy and ensure even
    distribution     

 ~ Before pulling your hair out of the sink, immediately cover it with a plastic baggy
    and wrap it up in a towel to prevent excessive leakage
     
~ Honey is a natural humectant as is vegetable glycerin.You can
   substitute raw honey for glycerin—it’s  a suitable substitute
