Hair is the one thing which frames our face. Thin and dull hair makes us look aged and clumsy whereas lustrous and thicker hair makes us feel young and enhances our appearance.
Many of us are fighting hairfall problems since long and I'm sure all of us have tried numerous products to combat this issue but all we get is unsatisfactory or temporary results!
I am a fan of homemade DIY beauty products whether its for skin issues or hair problems, I find solutions in traditional homemade herbal ingredients. However, there can be numerous other factors for hair fall like hormonal imbalance, stress, unhealthy lifestyle and other medical conditions, in that case you should not rely only on homemade things and book for a checkup from your dermatologist.
Here, I'll be posting two DIYs, one is how to make methi (fenugreek seeds) & Amla (gooseberry) infused hair oil for longer and stronger hair and other is Aloe Vera & Olive oil Hair Pack for conditioning your hair!
