My hair is curly and I find it very difficult to manage it and also have dandruff. I loose many hairs too. My hair volume is very thin too.

Curly hair tends to have dry shaft and some times split ends which gives them a frizzy and dry look. The natural oil which is secreted from the scalp fails to reach the tips of the hair shaft; this is the reason why curly hair has dry ends. Avoid washing your hair often as damping them can make them drier and give a frizzy look. Before washing your hair brush your hair with a wide tooth comb when dry to remove the tangles. Always use a conditioner on your hair as this will give them a body, prevent dryness and also give a smooth and shiny look. You can go for natural conditioners like beer, eggs and vinegar. Make the last rinse with beer or diluted vinegar, this will give shine to your hair and make them feel bouncy. Applying oil is also an important factor to strengthen your hair and prevent hair loss. Warm olive oil, almond oil, lavender oil or coconut oil can be used to massage the scalp. Leave this oil over night and wash your hair next day morning. For dandruff rub hot oil on the scalp at night, then next day morning mix lemon juice with cosmic vinegar and rub that on the scalp with the help of a cotton ball. Rinse the hair thoroughly after some time. Keep ready diluted lemon juice in a bowl and make the last rinse with that liquid. Follow this treatment for three months once or twice in a week to get rid of dandruff. Soak 2 teaspoons of whole fenugreek seeds in water at night. In the morning the seeds will soften, grind then with the water in which they were soaked to make a smooth paste. Apply this paste on your scalp and leave it for 20-30 minutes. Wash off this paste with acacia concinna or ritha solution. This is a very effective remedy to get rid of dandruff.
