Hair treatment using Reetha (Areetha), Shikakai and Amla. All these ingredients are herbs. In India it is very common. I would like to tell you some thing about these ingredients of our hair treatment.

Soap nuts have become popular as an environmentally friendly alternative to manufactured, chemical detergents . A few nuts can be placed in a cotton drawstring bag in with a wash load and reused several times. Soap nuts are safe for washing silk, woolens and other delicate fabrics.



Shikakai means "fruit for hair" and is a traditional shampoo used in India.








It is made from Acacia concinna, a shrub native to the warm, plains of central and south India. Acacia concinna has been used as hair treatment in India for centuries, it is now grown commercially in India and Far East Asia. The plant parts used for the dry powdered or the extract are the bark, leaves or pods. So it is also very good for hair treatments.

Amla or Indian gooseberry (Phyllanthus emblica, syn. Emblica officinalis) is a deciduous tree

of the Euphorbiaceae family. It is known for its edible fruit of the same name. It is used in Ayurvedic medicines. Locally the crush of this fruit is used in hair treatment in India. Whatever hair treatment we make out of this Gooseberry is very effective in controlling hairloss and helping hair growth.

Let your fingers pass through out your hair that will make the paste mix well in your entire hair. Leave it for 20 min. Then rinse hair well. if you want use mild shampoo.

But our concern should be to get back the natural condition of hair. For that also we can use store bought conditioners. But most of the time the lab manufactured conditioner cannot give back the natural state of the hair. Our hair is having its own natural state because of the food we eat. That state is slightly disturbed by the use of lab products. In this situation we can think about giving back the natural condition of hair by using natural things that may be mainly from our food items. Means reconditioning hair from the kitchen itself.

Some may think that what is the relevance in using these vegetables that is used as food. When we eat food that food get digested and the concerned ingredient reach the scalp through blood circulation. Here when we use these things on the scalp we get the nourishment directly. This is like that we get immediate result when we use oilment than using tablets. This is because of the difference in external application on the affected area and using medicines internally.

Here is the recipe for a natural hair conditioner right from your kitchen. Here the main ingredients are cucumber, tomato, ladies finger, carrot and egg white. For those who don't like egg then use chick pea powder or green gram powder. Take two small cucumbers, one tomato, three ladies fingers, two carrots and one egg. According to the thickness and volume of hair you can increase or decrease the quantity of the ingredients. The cucumber helps to remove the chlorine content if any and it gives cooling effect. It is helping the scalp to adjust its normal state. Tomato acts as a toner that helps bumps in the scalp. It removes scalp itching. Ladies finger works as a good hair conditioning agent. And it deepens the natural color of hair. If the hair is black it makes deep black. If the hair is brown it gives deep reddish color. If it is blond it gives deeply glowing appearance. Carrot make the scalp skin smooth and it gives a complexion to the scalp skin. When you are outside in the sun the scalp won't look like dark. And also the carrot nourishes the growing part of the hair. Egg white makes the hair polished and it gives protein nourishment.

Hibiscus Shampoo

No need to spent money for shampoo

Believe me, there is no need to spent for a shampoo. Do you have a hibiscus plant in your courtyard? Then you can save money. Just like every others I also tried so many brands of shampoos. Nothing seems suitable for my hair type. Some shampoos makes my hair too dry. The conditioner makes my hair too stiff. Conditioner gives a thick sticky and stiff coating over the hair which I don't like. Herbal shampoo also I am not satisfied with.

Because of all these matters I finally decided to keep away from shampoos and conditioners. If I want to wash my hair I use shampoo just like a soap liquid. Then I deeply put oil and get moisturized. But still my hair look not very healthy. Just like every others because of busy schedule I did not bother about this.

Few weeks back one of my client called and asked for any shampoo that she can use. She won't use any shampoo and prefer some natural homemade shampoo. I prescribed to use hibiscus leaves as shampoo. Let me tell you the next day morning she called me again to say thanks. She used the hibiscus shampoo and the result was amazing.

How to prepare hibiscus shampoo
So I thought this time let me start using hibiscus shampoo. I prepared just a simple shampoo with hibiscus leaves. I took 10 leaves of hibiscus and one hibiscus flower. Then I made a loose paste by adding a little water. You know it will be a green sticky liquid.

How to use hibiscus shampoo
Apply a little oil before bathing is fine. After wetting hair apply hibiscus shampoo. If you have dry hair certainly apply some oil. Otherwise it may make it more dry latter. Do smart rubbing on scalp and hair with this shampoo. Do this for five min. Then rinse
hair normally. Here you can see and feel the difference. I really felt ashamed for running after store bought shampoos. Use this hibiscus shampoo at least once in a week.

Dyeing hair with henna and indigo

How to color hair with natural henna and natural indigo

Like Henna (lawsonia inermis) Indigo (indigofera tinctoria) is also a herb. By mixing the two you can get different colors in your hair.

To get brown color:
Mix natural henna powder in lemon juice or warm water. Allow it to sit overnight. Next morning take some indigo powder and mix it with warm water. After 15 min. mix both mixtures together. If you add more indigo the shade will become darker. Apply this paste on your entire hair. Use a shower cap and leave it for one hour or more. Rinse the hair well and shampoo.
