Healthy hair check
How do you know if you have healthy hair?
Pull out one strand of hair from the scalp. (Give it a quick yank to lessen the pain.) Hold an end in each hand and tug in opposite directions. Hair is naturally elastic, so if your hair stretches as you pull it, it's healthy. If it snaps and breaks under little pressure, then it is not as healthy as it could be due to the loss of some of this elasticity. Put the spring back in your hair with a weekly dose of good protein deep conditioner or hot oil treatment.

Falling hair - especially in humid weather?
Deep condition your hair regularly with a hot oil massage followed by turban therapy. After this, apply a hair pack made of castor oil, two eggs, the juice of one lemon and ground fenugreek. Apply on scalp and hair strands and cover your hair with a plastic cap so that it doesn't become messy. Wash hair after an hour followed with a good herbal conditioner.

Hair is turning reddish brown?
It means your hair needs extra nourishment. The easiest and the most effective thing that you can do is to oil your hair with good alma oil, massage it well into the roots and follow with a hot towel therapy. This treatment should be done at least twice a month for best results and late reduced to once a week.

Make Your Hair Bounce
If your hair is dull and lifeless, you can make it bounce again with this simple method remedy. Soak 1 tbsp. fenugreek seeds (methi dana) in water overnight. Grind this to a paste and rub into your scalp. Shampoo after half an hour. After a shampoo, you can wash out your hair with a mixture of vinegar and lemon juice in a bucket of water. Just turn the entire bucket over your hair.

To get rid off those split-ends
Coat the ends of your hair with olive oil( about 1/3 of the way up) before bed and cover ends with shower cap and shampoo next morning. Do 2 to 3 times in a week.
Trim frequently.Avoid combing hardly.
Use vitamin shampoos.

Dry hair:
If you have a dry hair do not dry your hair with hair dryer after the head bath. Dry by sun or by fan air.Use soft combs.Use conditioner once in two weeks.Take a high protein diet.
If your problem is dry hair, first massage coconut or olive into your scalp. Then soak a towel in hot water, squeeze it and apply around your hair for 15 minutes. This hot-towel therapy, popular in the west also, helps the hair absorb oil and moisture. Then massage scalp once again and shampoo.

Stiff hair:
Use conditioner once in a week this will make hair little softer.
When drying hair give priority to ends.
Massage with warm coconut oil once in week an hour before head bath.
Combat static: Massage a teaspoon of mayo on clean damp hair and leave for 5 minutes and rinse out.

Silky, baby fine hair:
Take egg white from 3 eggs and Mix with enough water to make it pourable. Pour over hair and shampoo after 15 minutes.

Frizzy Hair:
Dissolve 1tsp.of Calgon Water Softener, it's available in the laundry section, in 8oz. of warm water and use it as a final rinse after you've shampooed and conditioned your hair. It will soften, detangle and help control those frizzies.

Dandruff:

We have an extremely simple and effective remedy - sour curds (yoghurt). Yes you've read it correctly. Apply sour curds on the scalp and leave it for 30 minutes. Then use a regular shampoo, and voila - your hair is healthy and clean.

Another simple tip would be to oil (warm coconut oil is good) your hair and leave it overnight. Mix salt in a little lemon juice and apply on your scalp. Wash it off after an hour.

For thick, black hair grind coconut and squeeze milk and boil that milk. After some time the water will evaporates and you will get the oil. Massage that oil to your scalp and shampoo after 1 hr.

Bumpin' with an update!
I got bored last night & boiled a can of coconut milk. It took a while but it works. Although it didn't produce that much oil...
But I'm assuming that might be due to the added preservatives. There was a lot of milk fat on top of the oil but I believe it's useful. I applied some of the fat to my hair. It wasn't bad--sorta like applying a "butter". Anywho--I'll be doing more experimentation this weekend and posting my results on Monday.
