Dry Hair and Oily Scalp
Most of you may had come across such multiple hair and head condition. If you treat oiliness it may create dryness. When try to avoid dryness it may create oiliness. Most of the time it is a very difficult situation to cope with. I receive several emails asking a perfect remedy for this.
Here you have to understand some basic things regarding hair and scalp. When you try to remove the oil condition of scalp and wash with shampoo very frequently, it is seen giving an adverse result. Why? It is a natural tendency of skin including scalp that when you wash more the oil glands under the skin may try to produce more oil. If it is the fact then what will an amicable solution? Avoid excessive washing with shampoo. Understand that shampooing is not the solution to face this situation. Then what is recommendable in this situation? Let us see this at the end part of this story.
Next let us think about extreme dryness. If the hair and scalp give dryness, naturally you may try to oil the hair. Nothing wrong. But before going for a head oil treatment consider this- did you have this dry hair problem long before? And did it produce dry flakes on the scalp. Is this situation because of excess shampooing? All these questions should be asked before deciding a solution. If there is flakes on the scalp and it is in excess, then oiling may cause dandruff. When you oil on the flaky scalp it may cause infection on the scalp. This may give itching on the scalp. In this situation you have to check that is there any dandruff or is this just a flaky scalp? Sometimes the flakes on the scalp may get confused as dandruff. Then dandruff treatment or dandruff shampoos may worsen the situation. If you find that that you have dandruff with excessive flakes then you have to use some mild dandruff shampoo or herbal products, keeping in mind that it is not causing any more dryness. After solving the dandruff you can treat the dryness by oiling. Here I recommend to go for any homemade hair packs. Definitely it will not produce more dryness or oiliness.
Whenever you face with the multiple condition of dry hair and oily scalp it is very difficult to treat it with a store bought product. Here you have to consider the situation very intelligently. To remove the dryness of hair if you put oil, gradually the oil from hair will be transferred to the scalp. If you try to solve the oily scalp by shampooing that will cause dryness on hair. Here you have to select a solution to give a medium remedy on both condition. Here comes the help as homemade or natural remedy. Here is a simple logic to face the situation. Avoid excess oil and excess washing. I am suggesting a mixture treatment of oil and orange pack.
Hair pack for oily scalp and dry hair
This treatment consists of two parts, oiling and orange massage. As you have dry hair you have to consider this first. So do a simple and light hot oil massage on the hair ONLY. And, take care to avoid two inches of hair from the scalp side. It is to avoid spreading the oil to the scalp. Only light oiling may do. Spread your favorite hair oil all over the hair. If the oil is warm that is very good. Do not put oil on the scalp. Wait for five min.
Now scalp treatment starts. Cut an orange into two halves. Try to remove the superficial seeds by pressing. Then rub the orange on scalp thoroughly. After applying the orange all over the scalp, start rubbing the scalp with fingers. Here you have to take care that your finger nails are not scratching the scalp skin. Just do gentle massage for three min. Then wait for 20 min. Then wash hair and scalp with water. Do not use any shampoo.
This you have do once in three days. While continuing this treatment for a week or two, you can apply a suitable hair pack once in a week. Avoid tomato or strawberries in the pack. Do and avocado hair pack. This homemade remedy can help you treating the multiple condition. After solving the problem through this one-course treatment you have to manage your head and hair cleverly. That means all your continued product usages have to solve the multiple condition. When you select shampoos and when you do hot oil treatment do this mildly. It is very recommended to apply suitable hair packs instead of shampooing and oiling. This can give a permanent solution by permanent and clever treating hair accordingly.

Homemade Hair Packs
One of my clients called me and told that she want to fix an appointment for her hair treatment. Usually she does henna on hair. Because of the climate she got cold and she doesn't want to apply henna this time. Instead she asked for any homemade hair pack. She is feeling some itchy scalp and feeling irritation on forehead. Considering all these factors I told her that I will prepare a suitable fruit pack for her.
Homemade hair packs
For such a condition on hair, using orange on hair is advisable. So I cut half of an orange with the peel. I took a small piece of cucumber also. Then added 3 tsp. of shikakai powder and 5 tsp. of green gram flour. Using a mixer/grinder I made a loose pack.
How to apply homemade hair pack
When my client came I noticed she is prepared to apply the homemade hair pack because, as a preliminary step she combed her hair well. She made all the strands loose and removed all the knots etc. from hair. It is so good. Because I added green gram flour in the hair pack it is better to apply oil on hair first. I took 3 tsp. warm coconut oil(pre-mixed with curry leaves) and applied on her hair. Did a thorough massage for 3 min. Then I applied homemade hair pack evenly all over hair. Then I put a shower cap and told her to sit on the chair for 25 min. listening her favorite song on the earphone.
After around 15 min. when I looked at her she fell into a nap. After 25 min. when I called her she confessed about the soothing effect of the warm feeling she got through the homemade hair pack. After washing her hair she did not forget to convey her special thanks for the homemade hair pack.

Dry flakes on the scalp
I received an email from a reader that she is having flaky scalp. This flakes cause boils on the fore head. She used so many remedies but no result. This is a common condition especially during winter. When this occurs everybody try so many things. Some may go for dandruff treatment. Some may go for pimple treatment. Some may try hot oil treatment. Why this confusion? Because no body is trying to find out the reason for this condition. Secondly they fail to recognize the problem. In all the skin problems, either on face or scalp, you have to see your skin type. Check whether you have a dry or oily or combination skin. Accordingly you have to face the problem.
If you have dry skin or dry scalp then always you have to take care for not getting severe dryness. How you understand that you have severe dry scalp? Check is there any formation of flaky scalp. Flakes are due to dead cells coming out in large quantity. The outer layer of cells in the skin is becoming dead and it causes flaky cells. Normally when you find this condition certainly you will go for hot oil head massage. Yes it is good. But before jumping into that remedy, just give few minutes to think. If there is lot of flaky cells on the scalp and this condition prevailed long before then oiling is not recommended. Why? Along with dead cells there will be dirt accumulated. When you apply oil that may create a very damp scalp which can produce bacterial infection on the scalp. This leads to dandruff. But if there is very little flakes and it started very recently then oiling can help.
Sometimes this dead cells on the scalp can be interpreted or suspected as dandruff. Then what you do? You use dandruff shampoo. This may cause excess dryness. So do not get confused with dryness and dandruff.
When the flakes are dropped on the forehead it causes to produce small pimple like bumps on the forehead. There is no need to go for a pimple treatment. Take care of the flakes then the pimples will run away.
Instead of using oil on the scalp just use oil (very lightly) on hair only, avoiding two inches from the scalp side. Continue this for few days. At the same time take bath or head washing without using shampoo. And towel dry scalp very lightly. Do not scratch on the scalp but gently rub with fingers. This will drop out the flakes gradually. After a week or two you can see the flakes are diminishing. The oiling on the hair keep the scalp not getting more dryness. After removing the fakes you can oil the scalp also. After this you have to take care doing oiling once in a week.
If you do not use oil then try suitable hair packs.(search in this site for "hair packs") Wash hair thoroughly in water and do rub with fingers then wash again. Do not use hard shampoo. Towel dry hair and use hair pack. This will definitely solve the problem.
The mail which I received tells that she has sinus problem, so she cannot use oil or hair packs. What is a solution in this situation. Simple, your aim should be to remove the flakes first. Wash hair in water without using hard shampoo. Use green gram powder to wash the scalp if you want. Rub on the scalp with fingers while doing washing. Then towel try hair and scalp. After few days of removing the flakes use mild herbal hair conditioner. This will keep hair moisturized and this will help the scalp to become normal.
So please read the above post three times and choose a suitable remedy. Good luck.

Hair Care-rejuvenating mask
Now hair care is very easy through using hair masks or hair packs. It will help us to escape from hair damages and it will regain the lost healthy condition of hair. Here I am suggesting a hair rejuvenating mask. Sometimes you have lost your hair's natural look using harsh hair dyes-no problem. Hair care products bought from store created any hair damage? No problem!

Green gram flour is a main item for good hair care. It is used in India to clean or wash hair instead of shampoo. It is also used for cleaning body instead of body soap. (not for dry skin). Some may complain the powder of green gram is difficult to rinse away from hair - don't worry, use any hot oil before using green gram. It is always good to do oil massage on hair before using any homemade, natural packs.
Chickpea flour is also a natural cleanser.
Fenugreek powder is very good for dry hair and will avoid dandruff condition.
Beetroot has cleansing, nourishing and detoxifying effects on scalp and skin. It can be used to draw toxins from infected sores and wounds. You all know it is used as natural colorant on hair mixing with henna etc.

Homemade Hair Straightening Pack
Homemade Hair Straightening Technique
Today I thought to write a post about hair straightening using natural homemade ingredients. This also from my experience with my clients. There was one girl who preferred homemade or natural things for her skin and hair. She visited me once in a week to apply natural henna powder in hair. Actually she liked it and the result was amazing. Other friends asked her about the new healthy hair growth. For that I actually mixed some other herbs with henna which actually helped her.
Latter she expressed her wish to get her hair straight, but she prefers herbal methods. Her hair is between wavy and straight. Not wavy or not pin straight. And the texture is soft and have black hair. I thought her hair actually had a chance to become straight but because of some slight deviation it became wavy at the time of birth. I was kidding.
At that time when she allowed me to do something, I did not give a second thought. I prepared the homemade hair straightening pack. For that I took 0ne cup multani mitti(fuller's earth), 5tsp. rice flour and one egg white. By adding water I made a loose paste. Before applying this, I gave a light oil massage on hair. Then applied this hair straightening pack. First using a wide toothed comb I combed hair down and applied this pack. Again combing few times in between pack is fine. Keep the hair as straight as possible by combing. Keep it like this till the pack dries well. After 30 min. approx wash it or rinse it off.
If you want you can add amla and shikakai powder. This will act as a nourishment to hair.
Apply this homemade hair straightening pack once in a week for about few months.
