Amazing Hair Mask with Shikakai for Hair Loss and Dandruff treatment

Of the many hair conundrums, Hair loss and Dandruff are major issues most of the people face every day. You might have tried and tested many hair treatments, some of them may give the best results and others might fail. I’ve realised after many trials and errors, to go with natural homemade treatments to treat any hair problems. Homemade natural treatments may not give instant results but over a period of time the results are guaranteed and those results are worth a wait.

The 5 effective and amazing ingredients that completely stopped my hair fall are Shikakai powder, Methi powder, Brahmi leaves powder, Yoghurt and Lemon Juice.

 

Why I chose these Ingredients? What’s so special about these ingredients?

I always travel so much every day for various reasons in the midst of pollution, dust and all other impurities present in the air. Gradually, my hair was extensively damaged. It lost all the moisture, dandruff started sprouting up, there were split ends, so much hair loss and what not. I was completely bummed because of my hair condition. I went with many hair treatments but most of them were useless coz they didn’t show up any positive outcomes. Later, my grandmother suggested me to use these 5 amazing natural ingredients – Shikakai, Methi, Brahmi leaves powder, Yoghurt and Lemon juice.

Shikakai powder

Natural herbs like Shikakai are considered as best ingredients for the hair. Shikakai powder gives extremely amazing results which is why it is used from the ancient times. It has anti-fungal properties and essential nutrients which will nourish your scalp and remove dandruff. Shikakai powder keeps your scalp clean and healthy by fighting with scalp infections. It can prevent hair loss, greying and the nutrients in Shikakai doesn’t dry your scalp. Also, Shikakai can be used as a hair oil and in shampoos.

Methi powder

Methi seeds powder is probably the best ingredient for your hair and scalp. These are loaded with protein and nicotinic acid that strengthens your hair, stops hair loss and prevents dandruff. Fenugreek seeds or Methi seeds are used from long back for such incredible benefits. Additionally, the methi powder is used to prevent premature greying of hair. And to make your hair look shiny or glossy, you must try a hair pack with methi powder.

Brahmi leaves powder

Brahmi is an old and traditional Ayurvedic remedy for all the hair problems. It boosts the scalp health and thereby promotes hair growth. It has a potential of reducing split ends drastically in a couple of weeks. Brahmi can help your hair to develop volume and length. It also reduces the dryness and prevents itchy scalp.

Yoghurt for hair

Yoghurt is beneficial for hair as it’s full of proteins that offer nourishment. Scalp and hair nourishment is what your hair needs for proper growth and scalp health. The lactic acid in yoghurt cleanses the scalp and clears away the dead skin cells. Yoghurt, with its smoothening properties, it keeps your hair smooth and silky.

Lemon Juice

The Vitamin C found in Lemon juice will strengthen your hair by removing the dead skin cells, excess oils and dirt. Eventually, you will have a dandruff-free, frizz-free and moisturized scalp. Lemon Juice also stimulates the hair growth and prevents hair loss.
