Mehendi reduces hair fall

A combination of henna powder and mustard oil is an excellent remedy for hair fall issues. Take mustard oil and add some henna powder and bring it to boil.  Cool down the mixture and apply the oil to your hair and massage it gently. Use the oil on your scalp at least 2-3 times a week. It is preferable to finish the oil within a month.

Mehendi prevents dandruff

Using henna on a regular basis can prevent dandruff problems. All you have to do is to soak fenugreek or commonly known as methi seeds in water overnight. Grind the seeds in the morning and add henna and mustard oil to it. Apply this paste on your scalp & hair evenly and rinse it off after 30 minutes with a shampoo. Also, don't skip on conditioning your hair.

Mehendi makes your hair silky, smooth and frizz free

Henna has nourishing properties that can nourish your unhealthy, dry and damaged hair with moisture and help you achieve soft and lustrous mane. Soak mehendi in a bowl overnight to make it into a thick paste kind of consistency. Add 2-3 mashed bananas to this paste in the morning and use this paste as your conditioner instead of your regular conditioner. Apply the mixture to your hair for five minutes and rinse it off with cold water.

If you are not a huge fan of chemicals for your hair but you wish to cover your grey hair then henna is the best alternative to go for. Add honey and egg to the henna powder and store the mixture in an iron utensil to receive a deep and richer colour. Keep in mind to not use the henna on your scalp because it can dry out your hair.

 

Henna encourages hair growth

Regular use of henna is also adequate for hair growth and makes your mane healthy, conditioned and thick. You can soak some henna in black tea overnight and add a few drops of lemon juice and curd to the henna pack. Apply the paste on your hair for 20 minutes and wash it off with your regular shampoo to get bouncy locks instantly.
