How to have smooth and beautiful hair

This is for the person who requested some hair tips.

 When I was  a little girl, I hated my hair, it was frizzy, dry and it had too much volume. But as I entered my teen years, I found some ways to make it look presentable and healthy, and I thought that with this request I will get to share them with you.


  • Wash hair with tea once in a week.
  • Soak a handful of gooseberries in a cup of milk for two hours. Make a paste and apply on the hair.
  • Apply the mixture of an egg white, 2 spoons of castor oil, 1 spoon glycerin, in the scalp and hair. Wash it after some time.
  • Do a 'steam-towel-wrap' once in a while, if your cuticles are damaged, as this steaming opens out the pores and absorbs the oil.
  • Soak 1 teaspoon fenugreek in curd and keep it for a night. Apply it in the next morning.
  • Take a cup each coconut and mustard oil. Soak half a cup of curry leaves in the oil mixture and keep it for a night. Next morning, heat on a slow fire till the curry leaves turn crisp. Remove from heat and add two to three camphor balls. Allow oil to cool and then strain. Apply oil to hair roots using cotton wool along the parting and massage in circular movements. Leave the oil overnight and shampoo the next morning. Repeat twice a week. 
And some natural conditioners, they work even better than the ones from the store.

  • Henna is a herbal treatment with good conditioning abilities.
  • Egg white is a good conditioner for hair. 
  • Deep condition with curd, beer and egg. 
  • Mix a little vinegar in warm water and rinse your hair with this solution. This will add bounce to dull and lifeless hair.
