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.
