Hair Care Routine Tips

Hair is a covering for the body (or parts of it) consisting of a dense growth of threadlike structures (as on the human head); It helps to prevent heat loss. Hair is a filamentous outgrowth of dead cells from the skin, found only on mammals. Although many other life forms, especially insects, show filamentous outgrowths, these are not considered "hair" regarding the accepted meaning of the term. Hair is an outgrowth of protein, found only on mammals. It projects from the epidermis, though it grows from hair follicles deep in the dermis. Although many other organisms, especially insects, show filamentous outgrowths, these are not considered "hair". Humans, like all primates, are part of a trend toward sparser hair in larger animals; the density of human hair follicles on the skin is actually about what one would expect for an animal of equivalent size. Below are some of the hair care options:

Apply warm coconut oil to the scalp for some time. Then apply lemon juice. Mix one teaspoon methi seed powder, with the mehandi (henna) paste and apply on the scalp. After an hour, rinse well to remove oily residues and wash the hair.
Soak one tablespoon of fenugreek seeds overnight in water. Grind them into a paste. Apply the paste on the hair for an hour and wash it off using a mild shampoo like Johnson's baby or green apple shampoo from Biotique.
Massage head with coconut oil or olive oil before going to bed. Leave on head overnight. Wash off the oil in the morning. For very dry hair, oil massage should be done twice a week, otherwise it can be done once a week. A hot oil massage may be more effective.
Do not wash your hair with soap and shampoo often, as this will make the hair dry and brittle. Also brush hair only with a comb with big teeth. Do not brush your hair too often.
After washing your hair, let it dry naturally. Avoid using hair dryers, hair curlers and hair straighteners on your hair. These products use heat and damage the hair when used repeatedly. Hair dyes and colors also cause dry hair.
You can use egg, but i wouldnt advise it, if the water to rinse is warm, it cooks (i did this as a teenager, it took hours to get it out) and if you use cold water to rise it hurts your brain!!!
You can mash an avacado to use as a conditioner, but my favorite is to use beer (not lager, proper beer) diluted, to rinse. Don't worry, the smell dissapears as it dries.
Natural oils and fats, such as in mayonnaise, olive oil, etc., can have great benefits, but be warned: their molecular size is such that they can penetrate the scalp and cause clogged pores.
Using mayonaise as a conditioner is an old trick that goes way back. It's just vegetable oil and eggs, so it will make your hair glossy.
Mix 1 egg, and one part mayo to one part olive oil and work through hair starting at the roots. Let sit any where from 15 to 30 minutes. Then rinse.
Shampoo and conditioner every other day at the most. Give your hair time to "rest" once in a while. Sometimes I leave conditioner in all night and rinse during my morning shower.
Always sleep with your hairs in braids. Since it is so curly, the more I can do to keep tangles at bay, the better.
