Nothing damages your tresses more than the dry winter breeze. Dry skin and frizzy hair are an unwanted consequence of the fall. Hair fall and dandruff are also a result of hot showers in winters. It is natural to resort to hair creams and serums that boast 100% results. But most of these products cause further damage to hair instead of fixing it. It goes without saying that hair needs extra care sometimes! Your hair should be oiled regularly and you should refrain from subjecting your hair to unnecessary heat by using blow driers or hair straighteners especially without using heat protectant products. All these things damage our hair and leave it rough and disheveled.
Indians have been using herbal berries like amla, reetha and shikakai to fight problems related to hair for hundreds of years. People have been making homemade shampoos with these three wonder ingredients in the past and they still do. These berries are safe to use, have no side effects and are the best natural way to repair damaged hair!
