Strong and lustrous
hair is every girl’s dream. After all, our hair is an extension of our
personality. But if good care is not taken, a lot can go wrong. Increasing
stress and hectic lifestyle have taken a toll on our body in different ways.
Weak hair is a common problem that most men and women face today. Most of us
don’t pay attention to the health of our hair, which is very much a part of our
overall well-being. So we thought of doing an article on the top 5 weak hair
treatments that can make your hair stronger, healthier and more beautiful. But
how do you know if your hair needs special attention? Let us first identify
signs of weak hair.
Telltale Signs of
Weak Hair:
- If you experience more than usual hair breakage
- If your hair appears dull and lifeless all the time
- If you notice split ends
- If your hair feels rough and frizzy
- If your hair tangles a lot
These are few of
the basic signs that indicate weak hair. Weak hair results when your hair lacks
protein and other essential ingredients. These simple treatments can go a long
way in repairing your weak hair and would help your hair way better than any
commercial product.
1. Coconut Oil
Massage on Damp Hair:
I am sure your mom
must have repeated the ‘coconut oil is good for hair’ mantra numerous times!
Coconut oil is one of nature’s best ingredients for your lovely tresses. To
treat your weak hair, take around two tablespoons of warm coconut oil. Damp
your hair a little and massage the warm oil gently onto your scalp for some
time. Now cover your hair with a shower cap for 30 minutes and shampoo
thereafter. This will heal your damaged hair cuticles, leaving them softer,
silkier, and stronger.
2. Essential Oil
Massage:
Mix together four
teaspoons of grapeseed oil, two drops of thyme and cedarwood oil, half a
teaspoon of jojoba oil and three drops each of lavender oil and rosemary oil.
Together this magical essential oil mix should be gently massaged onto your
scalp. Once you are done with the massage, just cover your head using a towel
for exactly 10 minutes before you shower. This mix is medicinal and helps
strengthen your hair follicles; repairing weak strands from within.
3. Drink Plenty Of
Water; Include Protein And Omega-3 Fatty Acids:
Yes its true, going
natural can offer a great deal of help to your weak hair. For starters, drink
plenty of water. A dehydrated body would never supply enough nutrition to your
body, let alone your hair. Water helps to get rid of dry and weak hair. Protein
is also extremely important for stronger hair. If you include enough protein in
the form of eggs, pork, beef and chicken, you will notice a difference in mere
6 weeks. Omega-3 fatty acid-rich fish is truly a blessing for weak hair. You
may also take supplements, but nothing can beat the real thing.
4. Try Egg Or Milk
Treatment:
Soak your hair in
full-fat milk for around 2-3 hours. You can also take an egg and whip it well.
Apply it on your hair and leave it on for about 2-3 hours. Simply rinse your hair
thoroughly after these treatments. You need not even use conditioner. Try this
twice a week for best results.
5. Homemade Hair
Tonic:
Take 2 tablespoons
of crushed parsley seeds and ½ cup of chopped rosemary. Take few cups of water,
bring it to a boil and add all the herbs. Let them soak in the boiled water for
about 20-25 minutes. Let the solution cool and then strain carefully. Now you
can pour this liquid on your head and wrap it with a warm towel for at least an
hour. Do not rinse your hair after this, let it dry naturally and you will see
shining, healthy and strong hair after regular use.
