Take regular oil treatment. Heat the oil before applying. You can mix one tablespoon of pure coconut oil with one teaspoon of castor oil. Rinse well with water. Use less shampoo, unless you have applied oil. Eat a small bowl of sprouts daily. They contain amino acids and strengthen the hair. Ensure that your diet contains adequate protein, which is available in dals, beans, curd, paneer, eggs, fish and chicken. Have fresh fruits and raw salads. Along with this, take vitamin supplements prescribed by a doctor for some time.
PS. this is not my personal answer .haha.. its from shahnaz hussain

Hello Indhu,

How can we buy aloe vera? Is it available in shops in Madras/Madurai?

Also, do you have methods to make shampoo at home. I am trying to learn to make thazamboo shampoo.

Thank you for answering doubts.

Dear Indhu,
Thank you for the PM. Logged into IL only today after a 3 days of busy schedules in the kitchen.. .

Wll try out the tips and give F.b.

One more question:

My friends mom aged above 50, still maintaines a thick hair ,that tooo black one. Iasked if she has dyed it, her reply was no. My friends told me that her mom uses just curd alone for washing hair for the past 35 years.....

Can we use curd alone or shud it be mixed with something else for getting a good volume and black hair.

No eggs plz...

Do we need to wash the hair with shampoo after washing with curd..

Dear Mithra & Sonia ,
Sorry for the delay - i had been too busy . Kindly bear with me .O.k , coming to the tips regarding hair- growth for kids : ( slightly ) Heat 2 teaspoons of coconut- oil or any herbal oil , apply on the scalp & gently massage for 5 minutes . After that , comb hair for 50 times ( for adults u can make it as 100 times ) . It really works . Give them lots of fruits & vegetables . Thats enough . Try and tell me , ok ?
With love ,
Indhu .

hey ladies

a simple and easy tip for great, glowing, shiny skin

Sweet almond oil, which is sold in india under the brand of Hamdard, Roghan Badam Shirin... its very thick in consistency so little bit is enuf...

my grandma used to say that in earlier days, brides-to-be used to rub badam oil to get that special glow...

and all the facials and everything else is fail in front of this....

Badam roghan is also helpful in fighting dandruff if applied to scalp.
u can also add 2 drops of it to milk, its good for mind...

have a healthy body and mind

take care
