Long hair has been loved by women since ages across all cultures. Long, thick, shiny mane adds to your personality and oozes confidence in you. Men too have become conscious about their hair lately.

Hair Pack For All Hair Type

This hair pack can be used for any hair type. For normal hair, you need to take an entire entire egg i.e. yolk and the white both to condition your hair. If you have oily scalp use only the egg white. You can use the egg yolks for moisturizing dry, brittle hair.

To make an egg hair pack you need to take an egg or two and beat it. Then apply it using clean brush to the shaft of your clean, damp hair. Keep it for 20 minutes, rinse with cool water and shampoo hair. Do not use warm water as it would make the egg to get “cooked” making it messy. You can use whole egg and yolks-only hair pack once a month while the whites-only hair pack can be applied every two weeks.

Yogurt Treatment

Yogurt is good for conditioning your hair. You need to take a few spoons of yogurt in a bowl and beat it to form a smooth paste.

Take a brush and rub it along the shaft of your hair. Let it dry till it becomes granulated. Wash off under a running tap properly.

Castor Oil

Castor oil will strengthen your hair and add shine to it. You need to mix castor oil, coconut oil and a few fenugreek seeds in a bowl and warm it. Cool it and then apply on your hair. Leave it over night and wash off the next day using shampoo. Castor oil will make your hair feel healthy and light.

Fenugreek Seed Hair Pack

Fenugreek seeds or Indian meethi is very effective in treating dull damaged hair. You need to boil a few fenugreek seeds and blend it in a mixer. Then apply this mixture on your hair starting from your scalp and going down till the tips. Gather your hair together and tie it over your head. Let it dry completely.

Then wash off with cool water. The seeds of the fenugreek leaves will come off easily with a comb once your hair is dried completely.

Avocado Treatment

Avocado treatment works best for repairing damaged hair. You need to mash up half an avocado and massage this in your clean, damp hair. Leave it for about 15 minutes before you rinse it off with water.

For enhancing its effectiveness you can combine mashed avocado with 1 to 2 Tbsp of any hydrating substance such as sour cream, egg yolks or even mayonnaise. You can repeat this treatment every two weeks.
