Home Remedy Hair Solutions

For centuries, Indian women have been celebrated for their stunning hair. South Asians are also renowned for being pioneers in the field of Herbal and Home Remedies. Therefore, it is not a surprise that when it comes to health and beauty, South Asian parents have all of the answers.

Lately, my hair has been taking quite a beating from the sun, swimming, continuous workouts and that old reliable flat iron. In an age where going green is good and everyone believes in back to basics, I decided to chuck the much treasured flat iron and give the time-honored Indian traditions a fair try.

Over the course of one month, I tried various remedies including vitamins, hair masques, treatments and of course continue to eat healthy.
