A Small Story of My Hair’s Journey
There was a time when our hair used to be naturally lustrous, thick, strong, shiny, and healthy. I used to have beautiful, healthy hair and was greatly appreciated by my relatives and friends. Wherever I went, people would compliment me on my hair.
But Things Started Taking a Turn…
When I started graduate school, I completely stopped taking care of my hair. It was only years later that I realized how badly my hair had been affected. I then started looking for the best salons in town and underwent various hair treatments such as rebonding, hair spas, and more, hoping they would help fix my hair problems.
At one point, I decided to stop spending so much money on my hair and instead focus on my job which kept me occupied all the time.
The Stressful Phase of My Life…
The stress in my life increased much more during my pregnancy. During that phase, I did very little for my hair apart from taking my supplements and oiling it regularly.
I started investing in natural and cold-pressed oils such as almond, coconut, olive, castor, and rosehip oils. Macadamia oil was also one of the oils I found beneficial for achieving lustrous locks.
The effort seemed to work, and slowly, I felt like I had my healthy hair back. By the time I realized that I had finally regained the beautiful hair I remembered from my school days, things started to take another turn.
Post pregnancy, I experienced severe hair fall, and grey hair suddenly started appearing out of nowhere.
It Was a Huge Nightmare for Me Again…
I began experiencing hair breakage, and bald patches started appearing along my forehead hairline. At that point, I almost gave up on my hair completely.
People started asking me about my hair, and some of their comments would upset and disappoint me even more. I gradually lost confidence because I was sick of seeing how much hair fell out after each hair brush and wash.
I knew I had to get back on track and make an effort to take better care of my hair. Finally, I turned towards herbal remedies, especially herbal hair masks. Slowly, I started seeing positive changes, and it felt good to see my hair responding to the care I was finally giving it.
How to use this herbal product?
- I have used this product a lot of times by now, and it feels very good on the skin.
- Light and not strong at all. It’s very organic and easily mixes with water.
- Just take one spoonful of each powder and mix it well with water.
- Keep a thick consistency to avoid dripping on your face.
- Take partitions and apply a generous amount to each of the hairlines.
- Cover with a shower cap at the end and leave it on for around 30 minutes.
- Do not over-sit with hair masks or face masks. It will tend to absorb excess oil from our skin or hair, making it feel dry.
- Wash with moderately cold water and condition your hair with a conditioner of your choice.
- Towel-dry your hair under the sun or a fan and apply serum of your choice if need be.
Benefits of these herbal powders:
1. Aritha powder.
- Reetha, aritha, soapnuts, or Indian soapberries are ancient, evergreen Ayurvedic remedies for skin and hair issues.
- Soapnuts are the fruits of a tree called Sapindus mukorossi, native to the Himalayas and the mountainous region between India and Nepal.
- Reetha or aritha powder can be mixed with warm water to form a paste, which can be used to massage the scalp to help manage dandruff and also remove lice from the scalp due to its insecticidal property.
- The powder of amla and aritha can be applied to the hair to help control the greying of hair and also stimulate better hair growth.
- It has natural anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties and also a natural softening property, which makes it a good choice for your hair.
2. Amla powder
- Amla powder is made from the ground-up leaves of the Indian gooseberry. It’s been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries.
- Condition your scalp, promote healthy hair growth, and improve the tone of your hair.
- Also, it minimizes premature grey hair, boosts volume, and reduces dandruff, and for people suffering from lice issues, amla powder treats head lice also.
- Promotes hair growth by cleaning your scalp issues, whatever they may be, like dryness, pimples, dandruff, clogged pores or any underlying condition.
- Fully treatable: once the scalp is healthy, all the nutrients provided in your body are absorbed by hair to continue its growth.
3. Hibiscus powder
- In Ayurveda, hibiscus is recommended for treating hair fall, encouraging hair regrowth, and preventing premature greying. Hibiscus is nothing but a shoe flower, or sembarathi poo, as we call it in Tamil.
- Our body needs to be stable with the three doshas, namely, vata, pittha and kapha. Hibiscus flower has the potential to balance all of those three doshas physically if used properly for a prolonged period of time.
- Hibiscus is rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, amino acids, mucilage fiber, moisture content, and antioxidants. The goodness of hibiscus beautifies your hair by nourishing your hair, promoting the growth of luscious hair, and bringing out a naturally satin-soft texture to your hair.
- It really does the magic, guys; trust me.
- Strengthens your hair root and stops premature hair graying. Protects Your Scalp From External Damage and Prevents Dandruff. Deeply conditions your hair and leaves it remarkably manageable.
4. Shikakai powder.
- Shikakai, or Acacia concinna, is a climbing shrub that is native to Asia. Shikakai is commonly found in India and has been traditionally used as a hair cleanser in several parts of our country, says ancient Ayurveda.
- It adds shine and softness to your hair. Fights dandruff and scalp issues and gives you good, thick, and lustrous hair. Again, like Aritha and Amla, Shikakai also helps in delaying premature gray hair growth.
- It best cleanses your scalp gently and induces sebum secretion, which helps reverse the dryness of your scalp.
- Antifungal and antimicrobial properties of shikakai work like a charm to keep problems such as dandruff, scalp eczema, psoriasis, itchy scalp, lice, inflammation and other issues at bay.
- This product helps in the growth of hair after you have had severe hair loss during your postpartum period.
5. Bringharaj powder.
- It treats dandruff and dry scalp. Bhringraj oil or powder treats baldness and helps in hair growth.
- Prevents hair fall and promotes hair growth.
- It also prevents the greying of hair and makes hair lustrous.
- Bhringaraj, popularly known as ‘false daisy’ in English, is a traditional wonder herb that is hugely recommended for growing long, silky and strong hair. Clad by the vernacular name ‘karisalankani’ in Tamil.
- Helps destroy Kapha doshas and toxins from your body.
- Be it oil or powder, massaging your hair with Bhingaraj oil provides a calming effect on the head, increases memory, and improves blood circulation on the scalp.
- One of the amazing hair oils that can prevent hair fall and effectively promote hair growth.
6. Neem powder.
- I need not say this, as everyone knows that neem is the best antibacterial herbal product used for ages to treat most of the skin issues.
- Neem powder, oil or freshly ground leaves can also be applied to our skin and hair directly.
- Once the scalp is free of dandruff, eczema or dry scalp issues, the hair will automatically start growing.
7. Indigo powder (optional)
- Indigo powder has been used traditionally for generations as a natural herbal ingredient, especially for colouring hair and giving it a darker, richer appearance.
- It can be used as a hair pack, either on its own or along with other natural ingredients, depending on your hair type and the desired result.
- Regular use may help give the hair a naturally darker look while making it appear fuller and more lustrous.
- Indigo is particularly popular among those looking for a natural alternative to conventional hair colours and dyes.
