Steps
-
Use aloe vera when your hair is dry and damaged. Get a cup of aloe vera gel from the plant and add two teaspoons of castor oil and two teaspoons of basil powder. Mix it well and apply it to your hair and scalp. Cover your hair with a towel and go to sleep. In the morning, wash it with mild shampoo and clean water. If you try this once a week for many times, you will get healthy and beautiful hair. [1] X Research source

Massage argan oil or coconut oil into your hair. Make sure to obtain natural, organic argan oil that has been cold pressed. This is an expensive elixir, but a little bit goes a long way and the oil will not turn rancid for a year or year and a half. Argan oil is non-greasy oil and incorporates easily. You can use it overnight as a leave-in. Put on a bit extra, wrap your head in a towel and awaken to more luxurious hair. [2] X Research source

Rich in vitamin C, lemons can help you avoid hair damage and make the hair thicker. Lemons can also help you prevent hair graying. Slice a lemon in half and squeeze out the juice into a cup. Once extracted, massage your scalp with the lemon juice for 5 minutes and then let it dry. Wash your hair after 10 minutes.
