To Grow Your Hair

Growing hair is a very patient job. It takes at least three months to start seeing the results after you start to care for your hair.

It won't take very long for your hair to fall but to see it grow one has to have a lot of patience. But the end result will be the best you could ever have.

Hair extensions and transplanting are in some way or the other are hurting to the ego. If there is no other go then one can opt for that. If there is a little chance of getting real long hair then I would say go for it the natural way. You'll be proud of your hair and your achievement.

Hair growth is very slow. It'll grow at the rate of half an inch or more in a month i e about 6-8 " in a year. So you'll see the growth very late that is it'll take three months at least to show the result.

1. Look after your care nicely. You have to care for your hair . It should be clean, scrupulously squeaky clean. The hair should never feel greasy or sticky to the touch.
If you ever feel that your hair is sticky then you are late for your hair wash. You'll start seeing locks of hair on your comb. Oil massage and shampoo your hair before that happens.

2. Use mild herbal shampoos for that purpose. Make hair conditioner a habit or after bath when your hair is still damp apply a little oil on to your palms and just rub it into your hair. Finish off with the last rinse. Your hair will not have that dull look. It will shine with that little oil.

Method of using the hair oil

Some have the habit of washing the hair daily. I do. For those, slight application of a little hair oil with their fingertips on to their scalps will be enough.

For those who wash their hair only twice or thrice a week:

They can apply oil into the scalp the night before they have their hair wash. Massage your scalp nicely with the hair oil. You need not use oil liberally but a little ju7st enough for your scalp, so that it does not get dry and brittle. You also have to watch your hair ends so that it is well oiled. Tie your hair up and wash it the next day morning with a mild herbal shampoo.

For those who wash their once a week:

You have to have hot oil massage every week to see that your hair is oiled and is hydrated. Part your hair and with a cotton wool dipped in warmed oil, apply the whole of scalp and the hair till the ends. You have to use oil liberally. Then use your fingertips to massage your scalp nicely. Dip towel into hot water , squeeze it out of extra water and tie it up around your hair.
Change twice or thrice when the towel gets cold. Wash it after an hour atleast.

Dos and don'ts:

Please, please do not use drier to dry you hair.
Do not wet comb your hair.
Do not use bands on wet hair.
Let the hair open and dry out naturally. Or use a towel to wipe the extra water dripping.
Slightly rub the scalp to get the extra moisture out.
Do not use a comb for untangling the knots. If you have to, then use your fingers or a wide toothed comb.

Henna / Mehandhi Hair oil

This hair oil can be used for the growth and the maintenance of the hair.

Mehandhi leaves 2 cups
500 grams coconut oil
1/2 tsp whole peppercorns

Grind mehandhi leaves with a little water to a smooth fine thick paste. Shape them into small flat pieces and dry in the sun. Store them in a airtight container.

Heat the oil in a frying pan. When it is about to boil add peppercorns and let them splutter.

Cool and add the dried mehandhi pieces to it and keep in an airtight container for two days. The oil will change to a dark green colour.

You can strain and use as and when you need and leave the remainder in the container itself.

Note:

When the oil gets over, you can heat more oil and add to the same mehandhi pieces.

You can use it twice if you like but don't use the mehandhi pieces if the does not change colour. Add new pieces to the oil.

Otherwise, there will be no effect of the mehandhi leaves in the oil.

Prematured Grey Hair

Yes the word "Grey Hair" depresses many and that too when it is prematured, there is no need to say anything about it.
Lack of care is the main point in getting grey hair.
If you take very good care of your hair, you are not likely to get any hair problems. I have gone through this problem myself and have been trying to tackle this for the past twenty five years. Now it is no more prematured but is salt & pepper time. But I have tried and once it shows it'll never vanish completely. So please take care of your hair nicely to avoid prematured greyness.

1. Apply oil liberally to your hair and scalp atleast once a week.
2. Massage it nicely with the cushions of your fingertips with circular motions and strokes without scratching your skin.
3. Take 2/3 towels, dip in hot water, squeeze out the extra water and tie around your head. Once it cools change towel. Repeat 3/4 times or till you feel the warmth all over the scalp.
4. Leave the hair tied up for half an hour more and then wash it off with a mild shampoo.
Take care of your hair this way and your hair will glow all by itself with health.

I'll give you the recipe of the hair oil to be used in case of greyness of Hair in the next post.
