  • Home Remedies for Dry Hair

  • Mash one ripe banana and apply it from roots to ends. Leave it on for about an hour, then rinse with lukewarm water.

  • Mix 1/2 cup of aloe vera gel with 2 teaspoons each of castor oil and fenugreek powder, and 1 teaspoon of basil (tulsi) powder. Apply it to dry hair and leave it overnight.

  • Warm 1/2 cup of olive oil and gently massage it into your scalp and hair. Wrap your head with a towel and leave it for 45 minutes before shampooing.

  • Combine 3 tablespoons of yogurt, 4 tablespoons of aloe vera, and 2 tablespoons of carrier oil. Mix well, apply to your hair, leave for 30 minutes, and rinse with lukewarm water.


  • Haircare Routine for Dry Hair

  • Limit hair washing to a maximum of three times per week.

  • Regularly oil your hair 3-4 times a week according to your skin type.

  • Massage the scalp for 15-20 minutes when applying oil.

  • Avoid using harsh shampoos or chemical conditioners.

  • Follow a balanced, homemade diet including cow ghee, sesame oil, peanuts, and almonds.
