Hair fall and dandruff have become a very common complaint these days. According to the article, hair fall affects large numbers of men as well as women. Hair breakage and a worsening scalp infection are also described as part of the same problem.
The article says that when hair begins to fall, people turn to expensive hair care products sold in the market. Various hair treatments are also often done to make hair look smooth and shiny. Instead of switching shampoos repeatedly, the article suggests caring for hair with ingredients found in the kitchen.
The article gives a method for making an Ayurvedic powder to check hair fall. Take amla, hibiscus flower, shikakai, fenugreek seeds and bhringraj powder in equal quantities in a large vessel. Then add reetha powder and mix the whole mixture well.
The night before washing the hair, take the prepared powder in a bowl, add hot water and make a paste. Leave the paste as it is overnight. The next day, before washing the hair, apply the paste to the whole hair from roots to tips and massage gently. Leave it on for half an hour and then wash with clean water.
According to the article, using reetha produces a light lather in the hair and helps clean the scalp. The article says the problem of hair fall will ease if the remedy is used once or twice a week. It also says home remedies are very effective in reducing dandruff.
The article also says that constant sweating increases dandruff in the hair. Increased dandruff causes severe itching of the scalp and leads to hair fall.
On amla, the article says the vitamin C and other essential nutrients in it nourish the hair roots and help reduce the stickiness that collects on the scalp. Reetha is used to get relief from hair problems. According to the article, applying reetha while washing the hair cleans the hair along with the roots and has a good effect on hair growth.
