Most women love long and silky hair but end up with dull and lifeless ones and hence prefer to keep them short. ROSHANI DEVI shares household tips that one can follow to keep long tresses
One of the most basic things that one must do for long hair is to oil them regularly. One can use coconut, almond or even olive oil. Massage it into the scalp and leave it overnight. Wash with a mild shampoo in the morning. However, if you have an oily skin, oil your hair and leave it for an hour and then wash off. One can wrap a hot towel around the head for 10 minutes to help in the better absorption of the oil.
If one reason why you don’t want to sport long hair is because they fall, use aloe vera. It soothes the scalp and conditions hair. It reduces dandruff and unblock hair follicles that may be blocked by excess oil. You can apply pure aloe vera gel to your scalp and hair a few times a week.
Apply a m mask made of egg; it is an excellent source of protein, which helps your hair grow longer. Just crack open two eggs, strain the yolks and use the egg white on your hair. Let it stay for 20 minutes and wash off.
Another reason why hair don’t grow long could be split ends. Boil two-three cloves of garlic with an essential oil and massage this on hair roots. Garlic is known to reduce breakage and improve blood circulation, which leads to long hair.
