Natural Hair Care Guide and Hair Fall Treatment

Many people skimp on the amount of time they spend brushing their hair and, as a result, run into all sorts of problems. Brushing your hair allows your hair that has been put out of the natural way that it grows out of your scalp to fall into place. If you seem to be having problems getting your hair to shine, or are having problems with knotting and tangling, you should probably brush more often, for a longer duration, or get a different brush.

• Soak some Amla (Indian gooseberries) powder in water overnight. In the morning, this powder will have softened. Then add the juice of a lemon in the water. This is a very vitamin C rich solution. Wash your hair with this solution. Apply a lot of pressure, and apply the solution just as you do with a shampoo.
• Massage the scalp gently with coconut or almond oil daily for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Boil Neem leaves in water. Cool, strain and rinse hair with it.
• Bangs are the in thing. Layering hair with bangs is the perfect hairstyle. Keep the bangs thick and heavy or choose side-swept bangs. Side-swept bangs paired with long layers look beautiful.
