Natural treatment for healthy hair 

The main problem with dry frizzy hair is abrasion and breakage resulting in hair loss. You will need to be extremely gentle when combing or brushing your hair and never try to detangle your hair by yanking on the knots. To minimize damage and hair loss, make sure that you only use a wide-tooted comb if your hair is still damp. Try to avoid blow-drying your hair regularly and if that is unavoidable, use an Ionic blow-dryer as it will produce better results with less heat (and therefore less damage).

Make sure that you use products that are meant specifically for day and frizzy hair. A lot of the known brands now have hair thickening shampoos and conditioners that contain various proteins as well as amino acids. Oil your hair regularly and try to steam it at least once a month. Steam allows the oil to penetrate the hair shaft thus increasing its effects. You can mix coconut oil, almond oil and a little castor oil and use this oil to massage your scalp regularly. This will help to strengthen your hair as well as prevent further hair fall.

Soak a handful of fenugreek seeds along with a few pieces of chopped Indian gooseberry (Indian Gooseberry) in a glass of water overnight and use this water as a last rinse when washing your hair. This is an easy method to prevent hair loss add and add lustre to your hair.
