The best conditioner your hair can need is right there, among your foodstuffs. All you need to do is mix equal portions of honey and olive oil, and massage into your scalp.

Remember, mayo contains oil, egg and mustard powder, just the right recipe for imparting wholesome moisture to dead looking hair. As an after shampoo, rinse with about half a teaspoon of honey in about a liter (4 mugs) of water. Don’t wash away this last rinse, and it acts as an excellent conditioner for dry, dull hair. To get a shine to dull hair, one can also use honey and lemon juice in your last rinse after shampooing hair, and do not wash it out. Instead, dry your hair well and brush vigorously. The sheen that is seen is all natural glow of one of the most wonderful natural foods, honey. Lemon is also a natural conditioner and imparts a natural shine to hair, whatever type it may be. It I extensively used as an additive to conditioners and always used as a part of herbal remedies for dull hair. It also acts as an antiseptic and astringent, cleaning up the scalp of dandruff debris and leaving it clean and free of infections. A rinse made with tea and lemon juice also serves to clean up the greasiness of oily hair without interfering in its ph balance or drying it up excessively (which is what most shampoos do). There are more secrets in your kitchen cabinet to help with oily greasy hair. Soak any lentil in a glass of water for half an hour (you can eat the lentils, excellent source of protein). Meanwhile, boil the rind of an orange and add the water wit the lentil water. (The boiled rind may be used as a flouring for cakes or cookies). The mixture of these two waters forms a priceless rinse for oily hair. Did you know that there is a natural method for straightening hair too? Of course, it may not be instant, but then it is infinitely healthier than straightening chemicals and irons that do irreparable damage to hair. Get a fresh coconut and blend it well, till about a glassful of milk can be extracted from the pulp. Add the juice of one lime to this milk, stir well into the glass and refrigerate till it acquires a creamy layer on the top. This cream can be rubbed onto the scalp, and left on, covered with a hot towel, for about an hour. Then rinse it off with a mild shampoo and warm water. Repeat this three times a week and you will notice that your unruly locks are gradually straightening up. In Asian countries, especially in the coastal regions, graying is not the greatest of threats. Perhaps their diet takes care of their hair so well, or maybe they know the secret to dark hair till old age. Whatever it may seem, there is one secret that we can share with natives of South India, a land known for doe eyed and raven haired women since times immemorial. The most basic hair tonic to ensure that your mane doesn’t grey can be made by burning curry leaves and then boiling this powder with coconut oil. Use this oil as your preferred hair tonic once a week and the result is absolute stoppage of graying and hair fall. Alternately, a handful of curry leaves can be pounded into pulp, and then boiled with coconut milk, till it yields oil. This oil is priceless nourishment for the scalp and ensures longevity and luster and color for hair. Of course, in kitchen cabinets of the Western homes, coconut and curry leaves may not be a common storage item, but they can be easily had from any Asian store.

There are a number of other remedies for darkening hair, and also for stopping grey. Gooseberries are one of the most favored fruits for hair maintenance in the East, especially Indian homes. Its extract is great for cleansing and condition hair while roasted, it has the capacity to darken hair. Try mixing ground, dried gooseberries with lemon juice and applying on graying hair. Gradually, graying will stop and the hair will be much healthier than before. Black peppercorns are another remedy for darkening hair and preventing premature graying. Powdered and mixed with curd, black peppers make a great hair color. Wash hair at least once a week with this mixture, and see how the graying stops and the hair become softer and more manageable. Though it may not always be possible to have other color for hair by way of your kitchen cabinet, there are ideas available to enrich the tone of your natural hair color and even fix colors. For instance, hot hibiscus tea (a rich shade of deep red), enriches red tints in your hair while black tea rinses are supposed to bring out the golden highlights in hair. Onion or lemon juice works wonders to brighten the shades of natural henna while an apple cider rinse will help fix the color on grey hair. Another widespread problem with hair is dandruff. Ayurveda has a very simple remedy for dandruff. Certain easily available oils help eliminate this condition, since it is essentially brought about by drying of the scalp surface. Mix one part of lemon juice with two parts of coconut oil and use it for a regular oil massage. The results will show in a couple of weeks. Alternately try mixing up one teaspoon of camphor with equal portions of mustard and coconut oil. The resultant mix is a bit strong smelling but does its job quite effectively. These are some specific conditions of hair. But Ayurveda also has some generic recommendations that will prevent some or all of these problems to begin with. Of course, we can try to follow a good hair care regime to make sure these problems never cross our path, to begin with. • Grate some fresh ginger. Mix with honey and place it in a jar. Eat 1 tea spoon everyday. • Use natural shampoo, studiously avoiding so –called medicated shampoos that may just aggravate your problem, or create one where there is none. • Use amla (embilica officinalis) (dried gooseberry powder), Shikakai (Acacia concinna) (soapnuts powder) for washing the hair. • Use medicated oils like 'Arnica oil'. Put oil on the scalp and massage gently in the roots of the hair. • Maintain a regular bowel movement. • The diet should contain more green leafy vegetables, salads, milk, fruits and sprouts. Take more proteins, milk, buttermilk, yeast, wheat germ, soybean and vitamin A. • A mixture of lettuce and spinach juice is good to drink to induce hair growth. It provides all the vitamins you need for a great skin and a healthy scalp. Another good idea is the juice of alfalfa mixed with that of carrot and lettuce. • Daily application of coconut oil mixed with lime- juice on the hair is also beneficial. Applying juice of green coriander leaves on the head is also good.

Above all, regular exercise, a strict food diet system and of course, positive thinking helps your mane to glow

Premature male balding can happen due to dandruff: Now a days premature balding for men is a big concern. There are of course multiple reasons for it but dandruff is a major cause. If you have a layer of dandruff on your scalp then whatever you apply on it will not reach the roots. This is why oiling hair, herbal treatments and the whole paraphernalia does not give results for hair loss if you have dandruff. You have to do dandruff treatment at home from the core.

Dandruff Remedies for Busy Men: Here are some easy dandruff remedies for men who cannot spare too much time for themselves. Dandruff home treatment can be much more effective than using harsh anti-dandruff shampoos that again lead to hair fall.

Lemon and Curd: Men busy with their professional lives don't have the time for making herbal packs for their hair. But lemon and curd due to their citrus nature are the best natural dandruff remedies. All you have to do is squeeze a lemon in a small bowl of curd, mix it and apply it on your hair. You have to leave it for half an hour while you continue with your work and then wash it off; preferably with a mild anti dandruff shampoo.

Garlic and Oil: You can be too busy to oil your hair but you will face the consequences in a few years. If you already have a severe problem of itchy dry scalp then then plain oil will not do. Just squash a few cloves of garlic and heat it in the microwave for 2 minutes at 800 degree centigrade. Now massage this lukewarm oil on your scalp. This should hydrate your scalp and get rid of the flaky skin.

Olive oil and Ginger: If all these dandruff remedies are too cumbersome for you then this one should be simple enough. Heat ginger with olive oil in the microwave and apply it on your scalp just a few minutes before you wash your hair. There is no need to leave it overnight and it will still show results.
