Hair is the one most important which get easily affected by these chemicals. So, we face heavy hair fall. And hair is most important to our beauty, especially for women. Every women wants a lustrous,long,beautiful black hair. Women looking bald on head, no cant imagine, how can we do different haircuts & Styles.
In olden days, my mom, grand mom, all have a long , beautiful, thick lustrous black hair. When I ask them , how it is possible for them and not for me. They said they never used shampoo ever in the life time during their young age. They only use natural leaves plucked from the plant and make a paste of it for a hair wash.And they never skip of using coconut oil on weekly basi s and never took a hair bath without oil on the hair.
So what the natural product they used for their hair… Its..
   
1. Arapu Powder:-
           
Arapu Powder is made from the leaves of the plant. When the leaves are fully grown, its plucked,sundried and made into powder. During the hair wash the needed quantity is taken in a bowl and mixed with water and applied like a shampoo. We get enough foams for easy hair and wash. And even dirt’s and oil is washed up completely. The hair after the wash looks smooth and black lustrous.

2. Shikakai Powder

Shikakai has been used for hair cleansing in India for centuries. The word 'shikakai' means "fruit for hair" and is a traditional variety of shampoo. Shikakai is made from a shrub Acacia concinna. 


The powder or the extract from the bark, leaves or pods is used as a hair cleansing agent.It also contains foaming agent free from toxins.

    1. hey! i use the above stuff to wash my hair too and the author is tight about the luster!
      What kind of problems do you get with your hair? Most indian women deal with thick hair by tossing into a braid or bun and leaving hair alone till its time for oiling and wash.
