3 Natural Hair Care Products that you Must Try (Homemade)

 In this post I will share with you - Three 100%  natural homemade products for the overall  
nourishment of hair. This includes a shampoo,  a conditioner and hair oil. What’s amazing is  
that they are more economical and last longer than  the common commercial products. 

The purpose of using shampoo is to remove  dirt, dead skin cells, sweat and excess oil  
from the scalp. However, the problem with most  commercial products is that they are packed with  
so many harmful chemicals which when  regularly get in contact with the scalp  
sometimes irreparably damage the hair causing  myriad hair problems. 
Well, there is one natural  
product that is capable of doing everything that  a shampoo is supposed to do without damaging  
the hair. In fact, it nourishes them. 
It is  soapnut, familiarly known as reetha. Mother  
nature’s this wonder fruit is the perfect hair  cleanser. Due to an impressive nutrient profile,  
it renders the hair naturally strong and shiny. To  use it, you simply need dried soapnuts which you  
can easily get offline from a provision store at  Rs 300 per Kg. Add them in a grinder and turn them  
into a powder. Yes, no need to get into the hassle  of deseeding them, soaking them or boiling them.  
And its alright if the powder is not smooth. 
Now,  transfer it into an airtight container and lo!  
your natural hair cleanser is ready. It will  easily serve you for good one year. Keep this  
container in your washroom. Along with it, also  keep a small bowl. Everytime, you want to shampoo,  
just take some of this reetha powder. Add some  water and using your fingers, give it a good mix.  
You will see a few soap bubbles forming that’s  when you apply it evenly onto your hair just like  
a normal shampoo. The only difference will be that  it won’t form much lather and it is not important.  
Marketing has brainwashed us in such a way that  today we rate a shampoo on the basis of how much  
lather it produces. As a result, in competition,  brands have started adding more and more of the  
cheap toxic sulphates rather than actually healing  the hair. The beauty of reetha powder is that it  
removes the excess oil, making your hair aptly  dry after the wash. If you stick to reetha powder  
for washing hair, be sure that you have taken a  major step to eradicate problems like hair fall,  
dandruff premature greying of hair, sclap itching.  split ends and head lice. It’s that effective.  
Of course, to make it more nourishing, you  can add equal amounts of dry amla and shikakai  
which are equally priced and then follow the  same process. But have no doubt that reetha  
powder alone is enough. And what’s better is that  comparing it with a popular commercial shampoo,  
it costs less than 1/4th of its price.  Try it out and say hi to healthy hair. 

Next is a hair conditioner Your hair needs conditioning to smoothen  
the hair cuticles, add volume and reduce hair  thinning but you don’t need a hair conditioner.  
Yes, we must understand that any oil has  the capability to condition the hair.  
It’s similar to using a moisturiser after a face  wash. So, if you regularly use a hair oil, you can  
totally skip using a conditioner. However, if at  all you want to use a separate hair conditioner,  
ensure that it is 100% natural. 
Like aloe vera  gel is a good option. 
Curd is among the best  
hair conditioners which is not just oily but has  sufficient protein and probiotics to strengthen  
the hair follicles and soften the hair. Apart  from the oil, if you just once in a week apply  
curd on your hair and then wash off with reetha  powder, your hair will be properly conditioned.  
Buttermilk and whey water, since time immemorial,  have been used to wash hair. They both are 2 in 1,  
shampoo as well as a conditioner. 

Finally, let’s make a hair oil,  
not just any hair oil but onion hair oil An oil not just protects the hair from wear  
and tear but also strengthens its roots. And  the red onion infused hair oil is a step ahead  
as it effectively promotes hair growth and  combats hair fall which is why n number of  
brands have launched their own products. 
Although,  apprehensions may arise about their high cost,  
low concentration of onion in them, added fillers  in the form of artificial fragrances, synthetic  
colours, mineral oil and chemical preservatives  that instead of solving, create new hair problems.  
So why not make an authentic red onion hair oil  which is easy, economical, effective and requires  
just two ingredients. Onions and cold pressed  sesame oil. To start with, finely chop 4 medium  
sized onions. Turn on the flame and place a kadhai  over it. Put about 500 ml of the cold pressed  
sesame oil in it. If you want, you can change the  base of oil to mustard or coconut oil also. Just  
make sure that they are cold pressed and not the  regular ones which are of low grade. The benefit  
of using sesame oil is that it is highly medicinal  and is suitable for all hair types. Now add the  
freshly chopped onions. Ensure that the flame is  on low. Now, you just need to cook the onions in  
it for about 20 minutes. You will notice the oil  turning dark. Now, turn off the flame, cover it  
with a lid and let it sit for a good 4 hours. The  oil will get cool, the medicinal properties of the  
onions will properly seep in. Once cool, strain  it and transfer the oil in a bottle and is ready  
to nourish your hair for the next 6 months. 
You  can discard the left over. When using, rub it in  
between your palms to heat it up and then gently  apply onto your hair in a circular motion. Made  
using a cold pressed base oil, fresh onions in  proper quantity without any fillers or additives,  
it is the real red onion hair oil that your hair  deserves. And the price, again it is less than  
1/4th the cost of a commercial onion hair oil. Before we wrap up, I will briefly share with  
you 3 tips that will act as an icing on  the cake. First, avoid the outside junk  
and eat homely as much as possible. Headstand  or any other exercise or yogic posture where  
the blood is amply circulated in the scalp area  will help a lot. Finally, excessive masturbation  
is an underrated cause that leads to hair fall  and other hair problems. The lesser the better. 
The natural homemade hair products  that we have discussed are not just  
any ordinary personal care products but a potent  medicine for the hair. If these medicinal recipes  
are combined with a healthy lifestyle, you  are on the way to get the best hair days  
back.
