Nothing beats the allure of natural care that works, as the saying goes. Dr. Navnit Haror, founder and director of Derma Miracle Clinic, shares a few home remedies for hair health and shine.

3. Leave it on for 30 min and rinse with cold water.

MASSAGE WITH ARGAN OIL | Argan oil is unrefined vegetable oil and is produced from the argan tree. It is rich in vitamin E, if you don’t have argan oil instead of that use Vitamin E capsules. Argan oil has many benefits, few are it protects from sun damage, enhances the shine, reduces dry & frizzy hair, and also encourages hair growth.

5. Rinse the oil out with a regular amount of shampoo and conditione­r.

CURD AND ALOE VERA GEL MASK | Curd contains nutrients such as riboflavin, vitamin A, vitamins B6 and B12, and pantotheni­c acid, which help to keep scalp infections at bay.

HOW TO USE:
