• Mix Shikakai powder with the water drained from the cooked rice and wash the hair with it.
• Crush the leaves of five petal hibiscus flower and take the juice. Wash the hair with this juice.

Informs Mumbai based Trichologist Dr. Rekha Yadav, "Using Henna can give you multiple benefits. It not only adds colour to your hair, but is also a great conditioner. It strengthens your hair, is anti-fungal, reduces dandruff and helps prevent split ends."
