TIPS FOR HAIR GROWTH
Hair oil
Among all the reasons why hair is damaged, pollution stands out to be the major factor. As soon as you step out of your home or office you are victimized by pollution.
Pollution affects the tip of hair roots and they get weak leading to hair fall. The best way to protect your hair in such a situation is by massaging natural hair oil, like coconut oil, almond oil, bhringraj oil, before hair wash. It is always wise to use Ayurvedic Hair Oil as they cause no hair damage. The key function of any good hair oil is to increase the pH level of the scalp. Ayurvedic hair oil helps to make the hair root stronger and increases the pH level, which reduces the hair fall.
Effective way to use Ayurvedic Hair Oil: Take the ayurvedic hair oil in a bowl and heat it lightly. Then massage the scalp with warm oil. (Warning: Make sure that the oil is not hot else it will lead to scalding). Wrap a hot towel or a shower cap and leave it for half an hour and wash with a mild shampoo. You can also leave it overnight before shampooing. Continuously using ayurvedic hair oil as a part of a hair treatment plan is one of the most effective ways to prevent hair loss.
Methi/ Fenugreek
Fenugreek or methi is one of the best solutions for all hair related issues. It is a miracle herb that reduces hair loss in a short span of time. The seeds of methi are rich in antecedent hormones that can be used for hair treatment to repair damaged follicles and stimulate hair growth. These seeds strengthen the hair as they contain certain nicotinic acids and proteins that are very beneficial for hair.
How to use Methi for Hair Growth: Soak a few seeds of Methi in water and leave it overnight. Grind it properly and then apply it to your head. You can also mix the ground methi in Bhringraj oil for added benefits. Leave it for 30 minutes and wash. You should not apply shampoo or conditioner in case you have applied the ground methi without oil.
Onion
Onion is the best homemade remedy that you can have to fight against hair fall. Catalase in onions is an important antioxidant enzyme that helps boost hair growth. This provides them strength and also provides shine.
Procedure for using onion for Hair Growth: Grind a few pieces of onion in a mixer grinder and strain the juice. Apply the juice on your hair and scalp for 45 minutes and rinse well. It may smell awful to use onion on hair but believe me that it is a hidden gem in your kitchen. Use mild shampoo and conditioner to wash away the smell of onion from hair.
Amla/ Indian Gooseberry
Amla is rich in Vitamin C and Iron. It is one of the major hair treatment tools available in your kitchen to arrest hair fall. If you ardently follow Indian commercial advertisements you might have definitely come across several brands that boast about their hair care products consisting of Amla as an essential ingredient. Both fresh and dry amla can be used to treat hair fall.
How to use Amla for Hair: The easiest way to use Amla is to grind the dried amla and mix it with the regular hair oil that you use. Adding amla to Bhringraj Oil will enhance the benefits of both the herbs - bhringraj and Amla. Use 4-5 times in a month to get good results. Dry Amla powder can be mixed with henna to give a good black color to hair.
Shikakai
This is the best ayurvedic herb for any hair treatment. This herb provides shine, softness, thickness to hair and also promotes hair growth. They are available in various ayurvedic shampoos, oils and hair packs.
How to use Shikakai for Hair: It is difficult to get Shikakai in the market. But if you get hold of it, paste it in a mixie and apply it on your hair or you could even mix it with Bhringraj Oil or any of your regular oil. You can use this twice a week. The smell of Shikakai is not very strong so you need not apply shampoo after using it.
Bhringraj

Bhringraj is one of the most commonly used ayurvedic herbs for hair treatment. It is also known as ‘king of hair herbs’. Like Shikakai, Bhringraj can be used to fight against hair related issues.
