Home remedies and homemade products for face, body and hair

Thank you Dev. Will try to find one.

HI,
i heard ur not suposed to apply oil everyday u have to apply only b4 washing ur hair how far is this true if i do not apply oil evry alt day my hair feels very dry wt can i do 4 this?

hi alamelu,

u can use oil(leave it for half hour) every day in hair provided u r hair washing daily too. a small amount of
mild(pref.egg based) shampoo helps to scrub it off. but definitely follow it up with a hair conditioner. that's a
must otherwise it will become drier. if u don't wash hair everyday u can use egg in ur hair twice a week. u won't
feel the need to oil for two days after using egg also found that if u warm the oil lightly before applying that
helps too. it helped me with a similar condition. u can check this thread for inputs .there's a lot of good tips for specific problems of dry
hair too.

too much of pitham in the body causes troubles like craked heels, grey hairs, head ache, vomiting etc... but 2 cups of tea shouldn't be a problem... I believe incerease in pitham is associated with sluggish liver... not too sure...

using very hot water to wash hair..can also lead to greying of hair....in south we are used to having a hot water head bath....but it is suggested that u use it warm .....

make it a habit to take a tsp of grated ginger with a tsp of honey every morning....it is said to prevent premature greying....one more good effect...it is a natural slimming remedy :)
