Indian Home Remedies for Silky Hair: Shikakai’s Benefits to Get Shiny Hair at Home

Hair is our crowning glory. Stepping out with gorgeous shiny hair, we don’t just look good; we feel good as well. A bad hair day is just a bad day! We have tried everything from expensive treatments to imported products to get naturally long hair. Yet that lustrous shiny hair is still a distant dream.

Maybe, instead of wasting so much money on chemical treatments, it’s time we go back to our roots and follow these simple yet effective Indian home remedies to get naturally long and silky hair.

• Oil your hair once a week with castor oil mixed with almond, olive, or coconut oil
• Avoid using hair dryers after shampooing -- let them dry naturally
• Use a wide-tooth wooden comb
• Watch your diet: Include foods that are rich in nutrients, zinc, vitamins, iron, biotin, protein, and essential fatty acids
• Use chemical-free natural products that include Shikakai, Reetha, Amla, Brahmi, and other traditional herbs.

Benefits of Using Shikakai and Other Natural Herbs to Get Silky Hair

Shikakai is a traditional Ayurvedic herb that can be used as part of a homemade shampoo for shiny hair. It has natural cleansing properties, which make it one of the best ingredients that can help get rid of dandruff and other scalp issues. A Shikakai based shampoo or home therapy powder can help attain naturally long hair because of its ability to penetrate deep into the strands, releasing any dirt or oil that may have accumulated at the root of your tresses.

Other herbs like Reetha have anti-inflammatory properties which rejuvenate the scalp and promote naturally long hair. On the other hand, Amla has been used for centuries for its antioxidant properties, which boost hair growth and prevent premature greying of hair, giving you that dream-like shiny hair. Brahmi aids in promoting blood circulation in the scalp resulting in healthier and shinier locks.
