Indians desperately wait for the winter season to get some respite from the sweltering heat, but they don’t realize they’re waiting for their scalp’s worst enemy. Winter is all about comfort, warmth and coziness, and everyone loves to sit by the fire and enjoy a cup of hot drink. As much fun as these moments are for people, winter isn’t the perfect season for their hair. Many people focus on winter skin care, but hair care is completely overlooked.
The freezing temperature causes damage to the hair as it wipes away moisture from the scalp as well as the hair, causing dry and frizzy, itchy and flaky scalp, or just worsens the scenario for those already facing some of these issues.
The extreme climatic conditions make hair brittle and prone to breakage and split ends. Not only this, but it dulls the natural shine and results in the fading of the natural hair color.
Curious what the solution is? Well, no one can beat Indians by coming up with chemical-free and 100% natural home remedies. Celebrity fitness expert and nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar has the perfect homemade hair oil recipe for the problems like hair loss, gray hair and dry scalp.
Recently, the nutritionist posted a video on Instagram showing her preparing a homemade oil with all natural ingredients and then saving it for later use.
The advantage of this oil is not only the nutritious ingredients, but the fact that after removing all the oil you can also use these solid residues as a body scrub.
“Special winter oil for dry scalp, hair loss and graying hair,” she captioned the video.
Diwekar said this recipe belongs to her mother Rekha Diwekar, who is a former chemistry professor and now a heritage food expert and a promoter of Kitchen Chemistry.
The ingredients used in the oil are hibiscus flowers (20), neem leaves (30), curry leaves (30), onions (5 small), fenugreek seeds (1 teaspoon), aloe vera (1 leaf), jasmine flowers (15-20), and coconut oil (1 liter).
Furthermore, she explained the procedure to make the homemade oil which is as follows:
- Soak fenugreek seeds in water for half an hour.
- Cut aloe vera into small pieces.
- Grind all ingredients together.
- Add this to a liter of pure coconut oil.
- Heat on low heat for about 30-45 minutes until the color turns green.
- Let it cool down
- Strain and store in a glass bottle.
Last but not least, she recommended everyone to apply on the scalp and massage well.
