Hello to all the readers of EE! Today I am up with another DIY. Yes… DIY on hair-care. Everyone has learnt my love for natural ingredients that can be used to beautify our skin and hair. My take today is preparing a hair-oil with hibiscus. Hibiscus or China-rose ( Sc name: Hibiscus rosasinensis) is a commonly available garden flower all over India. This is very useful for our hair.



 Let’s have a look what precisely makes it this much beneficial:

« The extract of the flower can enhance the growth of hair,
«  Strengthens hair and makes it shiny.
«  It provides nourishment to our hair 
«  Increases blood flow in the scalp
«  Makes our hair healthier.
« Decreases hair-fall.

Another ingredient needed is methi or fenugreek seeds that is also used as a condiment.  It contains Proteins, Nicotinic acid, Iron, Potassium, Lecithin and Vitamin C. These are extremely effective in strengthening the hair from the roots and treating follicular problems. The seeds improve hair growth and help in rebuilding the hair follicles.

Lastly we need coconut oil. Coconut oil is highly moisturising and keeps skin or hair hydrated for long time. At the same time applying coconut oil to hair is beneficial too in the following ways:
v Strengthens hair root.
v Makes it shiny and healthier.
v Provides nourishment.
v Increase blood flow in the scalp.
