Natural Hair Tonic

NATURAL HAIR TONIC

In our scalp there are a lot of scalp glands which secret natural oil. This will spread through hair and gives shine and softness to hair. It is good to brush your hair that helps the oils to spread all over.

The correct method to brush your hair is to bend yourself down from the waist, draw your hair down and brush from the back of the scalp to downwards. This ensures a fast circulation of blood in the scalp. Brushing should start from the forward part, then backward part and then the side. Slow brushing keeps the greasiness of hair intact.

If already oily hair are brushed with quick movements or for longer duration, the oil glands get activated and start secreting more oil. Moreover, if you have weak, thin and very soft hair, brush slowly.

If your hairs are too oily, stick a piece of cotton wool in the bristles of your brush, extra grease will be removed.
