Hey guys! Hope you had a good Sunday and you finished the Weekend hair routine! We are almost finishing one week into the event and I am so excited!

Last week I had asked you to keep massaging your scalp in regular intervals when ever you find time not only to relax yourself but also to improve blood circulation. I hope you have been doing the same regularly and without fail. Btw, it helps cure the itchy scalp problem as well.

Now, here I am with another activity which you have to incorporate into your routine.

Eat more proteins and nuts daily.

Protein is the major building block of your hair and the real cause of weak roots is more often an imbalanced diet. Especially so if you are a vegetarian. So, to fulfil the need of your daily protein intake, please start taking a balanced diet.

Everything is inter-linked actually. Your protein levels and absorption depends on how much iron you have in your system and adequate Vitamin C ensures optimum absorption of iron in your body. So, what we mean here is that a proper diet is the first key to a healthy life and hair.

Also, one banana per day will add bounce to your hair. Btw, did you know that eating one banana per day will NEVER make you obese. Banana has potassium and magnesium, the minerals required for hair which is why it is the major ingredient in the biotin drink as well.

Happy Weekend folks!! Hope you had a great Saturday. I know I skipped yesterday because I wanted to provide you respite from the event and also to give time for the hair cut and getting a few essential oils!

And, now that it is Sunday, we can spend the entire day on hair care unless you have something planned up for today in which case I would really urge you to spend at least half hour doing what ever I have listed down today.

Pre-Wash Hair Treatment

For all those who have subscribed for the event, you would remember filling up a hair profile form. From that, I could understand one thing – MANY of you are unwilling to spend time in salons for hair care and instead would prefer to do something on a bit of home stuff instead.

So, I have designed the hair care routine keeping the point in mind. Actually, the routine is very simple. You have to choose one home remedy which has worked for you till date or something which you would like to try out. And, do it.

My preference is egg treatment. But, for those who are egg-averse, there is curd. You can also opt for the henna treatment.

Apply either of them on the scalp and hair length, leave for at least half hour or at most two hours. Follow up with a hair wash and let your hair air dry. Do not skip the conditioner. Opt for regular conditioner instead of the intensive hair treatment.

After Wash Hair Care Routine

The after care routine is just as important as the pre wash.

Scalp Treatment

You would have noticed the market is now flooded with scalp vitalizers or scalp treatments. You can also concoct some simple ones at home like green tea!

Grab any of them, pour a table spoon in a bowl, apply on the scalp using a cotton ball and cover entire scalp with it.

This helps with dry scalp and controls the itch and also helps with dandruff.

Leave-in Treatment

If you have an aloevera plant at home, take the gel and apply it all over your hair. It is the best treatment for your hair.

Otherwise, take 2-3 drops of your hair oil (or if you have the exotic ones like apricot, grapeseed or argan) and apply it along your hair length concentrating on the hair ends. It does not weigh your hair down so you do not have to worry about it!!

The above quantity is for shoulder-length hair. Adjust it according to your hair length and density.

This is all for this week. I shall share another way of weekend hair routine next week 🙂 Happy Weekend folks!
