The increasing numbers of brands and types of shampoos have left everyone wondering which one is best for their hair. What most of us don’t know is that using shampoos strips the hair off its natural oil content and other nutrients. However, there are several natural ways of cleaning and moisturizing the scalp and hair making it shiny and glossy.
One of most important and easily available cleanser is Baking Soda. Baking Soda when mixed with water in a 1:3 ratio forms a paste which can act as a natural scrub removing all the dirt from hair. Apple cider vinegar, another important natural ingredient which is a mildly acidic but acts as a great conditioner after shampooing with baking soda. An unusual substance that can be very useful for hair is beer; it cleans the hair adding volume to it in the process.
We also hear that several herbs and spices help with almost everything and some of these spices found in almost all Indian kitchens, for example amla, methi and shikakai which have anti-bacterial properties, can be used as hair masks.
