Homemade Packs for Hair

Homemade packs do not show immediate effect. You need to use these treatments for at least a month to see the difference.

For softer, silkier hair
Make a paste of 2 tbsp triphala, 2 tbsp amla powder, 1 cup yogurt. Apply the paste on your hair for 20 minutes before shampooing. It nourishes and conditions the hair.

For shiny hair
Make a paste of 2 egg yolks, 1 cup of yogurt and 1 tbsp amla powder. Apply the paste on your hair for 20 minutes before shampooing. Adding two teaspoons lemon juice to this pack will activate the glands that produce oil to give hair a shiny look

For dandruff-free hair
Mix 1 tsp neem juice, 1 cup coconut oil or olive oil, 1 cup beetroot juice. Add the neem juice to the oil and use it to massage your scalp for 10 minutes. Then apply the beetroot juice on your hair. Leave it on for 20 minutes before shampooing. Neem takes away itchiness that dandruff causes. Beetroot removes stickiness, reduces dandruff and makes the hair shine.

For stronger hair
Regular oil massages are a must to make your hair stronger. Massage your scalp with warm coconut oil added to coconut milk. Make a paste of 5 hibiscus flowers (red), 1/4 cup of methi seeds soaked overnight, 1/4 cup of curry leaves, 1/4 cup of fresh coconut. Grind only the petals of hibiscus with the other ingredients. Sieve the ingredients and massage into the scalp. Leave on for 10 minutes before washing off. This pack will curb hair loss and make your hair healthier. Follow this once a week.

For treated hair
Fruit and Vegetable juices help softening and revitalising the hair. 1 cup ripe papaya paste, ½ cup coconut milk, ½ cup banana paste, 4 drops rosemary essential oil. Mix all the ingredients and apply on your scalp and hair for 20 minutes. Do not shampoo your hair immediately after this. Rinse the hair with water. Rosemary removes grease and dandruff from the hair. Papaya, banana and coconut act as conditioners.
