v  Dandruff disappears with each such wash leaving your hair shiny and silky.

The lime or lemon apart from being effective dandruff deterrent is also an excellent preventive of hair-loss.

Solution #2

If your hair-fall is at an alarming rate the first chief remedy is...

v  The less you bother about it the better. Maintain your cool.

v  Now soak a handful of methi or menthulu for a night and pestle it to a fine paste.

v  Add two eggs to it {only the white content and not the yolk for it give out a foul smell}.

v  Then gently massage the paste on your head reaching out to the roots.

v  Let it dry for an hour.

v  If you wish you can also apply lemon juice for sheen on this paste after it is dried. Then wash with shikakai or rita.

v  You can use your favorite shampoo for a second wash to give off a heady smell.

v  Do it once or twice a week.

Solution #3 

Another method is that...

v  Take some gruel, the water or extracted from cooking rice.

v  Add a few hibiscus {mandaram in Telugu} leaves or flowers.

Some Precautions for Your Hair Care

Apart from deficiency of vitamins depression is the main culprit that turns your hair grey. If you are hair-conscious it depresses further your already-depressed mind. The best remedy is to fight depression with a weapon called cheerfulness.

1.       For total hair-care irrespective of your hair style and class of which it belongs, whether dry, oily or brittle. I suggest...

2.        Do not worry much about your hair.

3.      Find out with your doctor if possible for any malfunctioning of your pituitary or thyroid glands.

4.        Let your food consists of rich in all vitamins A B C D E, iron and iodine.

5.        Do not expose your head too much to the sun.

6.        Keep your scalp dirt-free.

7.        Apply pure coconut oil at least two hours before head bath.

8.        Regular head bath is preferable to rather once in a week.

9.   Use pure shikakai or rita or a shampoo suggested by your physician or beautician.

10.   Dry your hair perfectly by rinsing and gently massaging it with a cotton towel.

11.     Do not use hair blowers and hair dryers for this will damage your hair roots.

12.   If you still prefer to use one, then keep the blowers at a distance in a way that emanating hot-air may not affect your hair roots.

13.  Comb your hair as many times as you can, for this will help in good blood circulation underneath your scalp strengthening your hair roots.

14.  Remember combing is not scratching. So select your combs with a not too sharp teeth but brushes gently.

15.  Do not use combs used by others as you may get infected with their hair problem.

16.     See that your hair is not split at the ends. Split-ends stop the growth of your hair.

17.     Go for regular haircuts. Regular haircuts cutoff the split-ended hair. 

18.     Lastly and finally I suggest use pure coconut oil.
