Hibiscus Shampoo

Fleur d'hibiscusImage via Wikipedia
No need to spent money for shampoo

Believe me, there is no need to spent for a shampoo. Do you have a hibiscus plant in your courtyard? Then you can save money. Just like every others I also tried so many brands of shampoos. Nothing seems suitable for my hair type. Some shampoos makes my hair too dry. The conditioner makes my hair too stiff. Conditioner gives a thick sticky and stiff coating over the hair which I don't like. Herbal shampoo also I am not satisfied with.

Because of all these matters I finally decided to keep away from shampoos and conditioners. If I want to wash my hair I use shampoo just like a soap liquid. Then I deeply put oil and get moisturized. But still my hair look not very healthy. Just like every others because of busy schedule I did not bother about this.

Few weeks back one of my client called and asked for any shampoo that she can use. She won't use any shampoo and prefer some natural homemade shampoo. I prescribed to use hibiscus leaves as shampoo. Let me tell you the next day morning she called me again to say thanks. She used the hibiscus shampoo and the result was amazing.

How to prepare hibiscus shampoo
So I thought this time let me start using hibiscus shampoo. I prepared just a simple shampoo with hibiscus leaves. I took 10 leaves of hibiscus and one hibiscus flower. Then I made a loose paste by adding a little water. You know it will be a green sticky liquid.

How to use hibiscus shampoo
Apply a little oil before bathing is fine. After wetting hair apply hibiscus shampoo. If you have dry hair certainly apply some oil. Otherwise it may make it more dry latter. Do smart rubbing on scalp and hair with this shampoo. Do this for five min. Then rinse
hair normally. Here you can see and feel the difference. I really felt ashamed for running after store bought shampoos. Use this hibiscus shampoo at least once in a week.

Homemade Hair Packs

Homemade Hair Packs

One of my clients called me and told that she want to fix an appointment for her hair treatment. Usually she does henna on hair. Because of the climate she got cold and she doesn't want to apply henna this time. Instead she asked for any homemade hair pack. She is feeling some itchy scalp and feeling irritation on forehead. Considering all these factors I told her that I will prepare a suitable fruit pack for her.

Homemade hair packs
For such a condition on hair, using orange on hair is advisable. So I cut half of an orange with the peel. I took a small piece of cucumber also. Then added 3 tsp. of shikakai powder and 5 tsp. of green gram flour. Using a mixer/grinder I made a loose pack.

How to apply homemade hair pack
When my client came I noticed she is prepared to apply the homemade hair pack because, as a preliminary step she combed her hair well. She made all the strands loose and removed all the knots etc. from hair. It is so good. Because I added green gram flour in the hair pack it is better to apply oil on hair first. I took 3 tsp. warm coconut oil(pre-mixed with curry leaves) and applied on her hair. Did a thorough massage for 3 min. Then I applied homemade hair pack evenly all over hair. Then I put a shower cap and told her to sit on the chair for 25 min. listening her favorite song on the earphone.

After around 15 min. when I looked at her she fell into a nap. After 25 min. when I called her she confessed about the soothing effect of the warm feeling she got through the homemade hair pack. After washing her hair she did not forget to convey her special thanks for the homemade hair pack.

Hair oil with Coconut Milk

Recipe for Hair oil with Coconut Milk

Today I am giving you a very special hair oil recipe. It was widely used to help hair growth in Kerala. This hair oil with coconut milk is having a very tactical kind of preparation. In early times this was prepared by specially trained persons who make all kind of Ayurvedic preparations. In my home grand mother used to prepare hair oil with coconut milk and it was the oil we applied on hair. At that time my hair was also lustrous and healthy. Now as the time passing very fast even I cannot find a situation to prepare this hair oil with coconut milk.

The first challenge in preparing this hair oil is finding the best type of coconut. The coconut we select should be fully ripe and dried. In this condition the water content in the coconut will be almost removed. And we can get more oil from that. Why we select the ripe coconut is that we can keep this prepared hair oil for long time. This hair oil with coconut milk helps hair to grow well and can avoid unnecessary hair loss. Definitely we can forget about the problem of dandruff etc.

How to prepare hair oil with coconut milk

ingredients:
Coconut oil- 1 cup
Coconut milk- 1 cup
Brahmi powder- 5tsp.
Aloe vera- 2tsp.
Tulsi leaf paste- 1tsp.

You know how to prepare coconut milk. Grate coconut and using a mixer/grinder crush it. Then squeeze the milk. Brahmi powder you can buy. Use fresh aloe vera. Squeeze the inner crux or you can use with the skin but cut into small pieces. If you have tulsi leaves make it a paste or buy tulsi powder.

Mix brahmi powder, aloe vera and tulsi paste. Add coconut milk and mix well. Now add coconut oil and mix together. Start to heat it in low flame. Stir with a long spoon. When the fumes starts to come add few grains of rice or fenugreek or corn and see it pops up. This is the proper time to switch off the flame. Take care to not getting the contents too dark or do not allow to burn. When it cools down sieve it and pour into a suitable glass bottle or ceramic container.

You can apply this hair oil with coconut milk once in a week basis. First loosen your hair, take out all the knots with fingers moving from top to ends. Spread well all the strands. Apply the hair oil all over hair and scalp. Give a thorough massage. Special attention for doing rubbing on scalp in a rounded motion. Do not scratch with finger nails. No need to apply excess oil, keep an average quantity to apply. Wait for half an hour. Then take bath. If you want wash out excess oil by washing hair with green gram flour.

If you are applying oil for the first time, apply this hair oil with coconut milk very little at the first time. Then repeat it after three days. Similarly do it three times minimum. Then only your hair and scalp will become used to the new product. First time application may cause a temporary hair loss. Don't worry, continue applying.

(Note:The professional way of making this hair oil is a little different. In that no need to use coconut oil. By heating the coconut milk it will produce coconut oil from that. For that we require more coconut milk. This I am telling is for an information purpose.)
