Importance Of Oil For Your hair

So, I have been talking about my hair fall & 5 things helped me, here is the most important part of this series & that is oiling your hair. This was always irritating for me coz I can’t stand the stickiness of oils (chip chip) but this time I changed my priority to win back my hair.

So, without wasting anytime to think & search which oil can work for me I mixed all the oils available in my shelf like olive oil, coconut oil & almond oil. I’ll share the importance & effect of these oils later.

I apply oil with the help of cotton ball on my scalp so that I won’t feel the stickiness on my hands & this even helps in applying oil properly. Oil should be properly applied on the scalp so that it can reach roots & improves our hair follicles.

I never used too much of oil on my hair as it’s not required to dip your hair in oil & optimal use of oil will require lesser shampoo( means lesser chemicals) J

Why to oil your hair:

Unfortunately most of us are using harsh chemical (sls) based shampoos which can make our hair dry , applying oil before shampoo will protect your hair from being overly cleansed and becoming "squeaky clean" .

Applying oil can reduce split ends & frizzy ends by providing nourishment to your hair & its roots.

Oiling your hair everyday would be too much to ask for. But do this at least thrice a week for beautiful hair. It does make a lot of difference if you keep doing this regularly as it is bound to show on your hair.

The massaging and oiling of your hair stimulates the blood circulation, which in return helps your hair.

Honestly I have been skipping oil from at least a year or so & I am following these entire 5 things regularly from few months only & I can a huge change in my hair & oil helped in improving my hair texture.

Hope you will not forget to apply oil after reading this post.

Importance Of Brushing & Scalp Massage For Beautiful Hair

My next effort to reduce hair fall was brushing & scalp massage. As I said I never cared for my hair & the most careless thing I did is I never brushed them properly.After having a baby I am always in hurry so I just brush them from top & I never reached till scalp. Brushing your hair & scalp properly is more cleansing than any shampoo or hair cleanser.

It stimulates hormone and oil- producing glands, which keep the pores of the hair and scalp open, allowing them to breathe and retain their natural oils. Because of its cleansing effect on hair and scalp, brushing is a form of dry shampooing. So know I brush them properly.

Next thing is massage which helps in improving blood circulation & this was something we all know coz this had been emphasized by our mommies & grannies

So I started it all again, the only difference this time it’s not mommy or granny who are doing my massage, I have to do it at my own.

The best way I found to massage is let your fingers be at one place & move your scalp. With the small circular movements or back and forth motion you will be able to cover larger areas of your scalp. Starting from the front of the head and moving back to the nape of the neck. Then, from the nape of the neck, use the same motion to move forward to the front of the head. This method will make you feel relaxed as well. Remember move your skin under scalp till you feel warmness.

You should massage at least for 15-20 minutes a day.

Ginger & Onion Juice For Reducing Hair fall

Image source: Google images



Yesterday I talked about my hair fall & five things helped me to reduce hair fall. Here is the first thing that gave me results just in one week.

I started applying ginger & onion juice. Ok I know it’s little difficult to handle it’s smell but honestly it can do wonders for your hair.

When I was in my high school I had a bald patch on my scalp & I had been to dermatologist who gave few medicines & suggested me to use ginger juice on scalp. Ginger is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine and in homeopathy. Because it has anti-inflammatory and circulatory properties, it’s beneficial to improve hair quality & reduce hair fall.

And onions are rich in sulphur which makes them effective in regenerating hair follicles and stimulating hair growth & also helps in restoring hair.

How to apply: I grate both the ingredients & sieve them to get juice, then apply with a cotton ball directly on my scalp otherwise its too runny & leave it for 30 minutes. Then simply wash with shampoo.

I am using this every alternate day & honestly i am finding great change in my hair fall ,so if u expect any home remedy to show good result ,have patience & follow regularly or frequently.

Have you tried this .Then please share your experience.

Keep smiling & be beautiful with punam:)
