Natural way to treat your hair.
In those days, people used to keep more oil to their hair. This helps in hair growth and reduce hair fall.As they keep oil daily the scalp binds the hair root strongly.
For hair wash they use green gram powder or arapu which they used as a substitute for shampoo. Instead of green gram powder they use shikakai also.
For conditioning hair they used dried hibiscus powder so that it leaves the hair soft. Along with this dried neem leaves powder can also be added.
Using fenugreek leaves hair smooth. For that soak hand full of fenugreek over night in water and grind it like a thick paste and apply on your hair and then go for hair bath.
Neem oil was applied to avoid lice in hair.
For long thick hair and to avoid premature white hair mehandi oil is used.
How to prepare mehandi oil?
Take mehandi leaves, add little water and make a thick paste. Then take a dry plastic cover or a plate and pour the paste. Then dry it in sunlight. Now paste would have turned into a thick solid. At last put those collected pieces into a jar containing coconut oil. Leave it for a day to gel with oil and then start using mehandi oil.
