Wow, another weekend already! When I was deciding the topics for the month, I had been completely overwhelmed that how would I be able to manage so many hair care posts and what would I write everyday. Little did I know the time would fly. So, what are your plans for this weekend?
Pre-Wash Hair Treatment
Now, last time, I had mentioned to you that you can use egg or, for those who do not like egg, there is curd. This is just a variation of the same routine today but this for those who are really seriously into hair care and CAN actually bear some grossness. This is best done in evening or at NIGHT so that you can spend your day howsoever you want or if you know you are free for entire day, feel free to do it in the morning itself. Btw, if you have dandruff then please skip this!! Curd can increase your dandruff.
So, apply Curd (no egg, please), leave for an hour, wash off with water thoroughly. No Shampoo. That’s it!! Come out of the shower.
I know your hair might stink depending on your curd type. If the curd is a little fatty and sour, your hair WILL stink. Otherwise, it should be just fine. Leave it just like that overnight. If you do have essential oils, I would recommend adding a few drops of your favourite in the curd before application.
Actually, this was a remedy which I had used long back during my graduation on my friend’s recommendation. She had mentioned that her neighbour had actually used this method during the holidays and actually witness some serious hair growth. Well, it did work for me as well. And, this method had also helped me get super soft and light hair.
After the hair is dry or depending on your preference for oiling your hair, you can give yourself a soothing hot oil treatment tonight or tomorrow in the morning. After a wait of few hours, wash off your hair with shampoo and condition.
After-Wash Hair Treatment
Once you wash your hair, you make sure you follow with the after-wash treatment right when your hair is damp. That ensures maximum water retention.
Today, I would suggest you to try out this aloevera gel DIY which I had published long long back. This is simple and hassle-free to use and gives really good results as well. And, I really hope you got your essential oils! The DIY should be applied both on scalp and hair length. This applies on hair just like any hair gel would so do not worry about it.
And, till the time you actually get yourself some aloevera gel, follow the last weeks after-wash hair care routine!! And, make sure to take good care of your scalp. And, I really hope you have increased your protein intake and are regular with your scalp massages.
And, after you do this treatment, do not forget to share how did you like it? 🙂
ummm…why keep egg overnight? Sorry but I did not get the drift!!
or did you mean keeping egg in your hair overnight? nah, for this method, you should use only curd, no eggs because eggs will stink a lot and make everything in the house stink a lot!
Ohmygaaaawd! Thanks for this great routine, Swati. My hair turned out just super awesome with this treatment. It is silky soft and shiny and even my curls set beautifully after the aloe vera treatment. The only tiny change I made was to dilute the gel slightly with some filtered water so I could spread it more easily, otherwise it’s too thick for my hair. I added rosemary, lavender and peppermint EOs to mine, so my scalp feels so fresh in this summer weather as well!!!
wow, Nayantara, you should really record your DIY’s and hair experiments 🙂 they are so useful!! the trick with aloevera gel is so useful. thanks for sharing it!

Of course, I had to deal with some stinkiness after the curd treatment but was totally worth it. Think I’ll try & incorporate it at least once / twice a month in my regular routine.
hehe…as I said 🙂 it does get stinky but its worth it!! yup, I think once a month or twice is enough unless your hair is reallyyyy damaged.

Haha- I try! At least these days I’ve become a bit intelligent and am trying out only a few things at a times so I can figure out which works and which doesn’t. That would be my advice to everyone actually- to not go overboard with all kinds of different products & treatments!
I’m guy 27 years old.Naturally, I’ve very less dense, thin hair from school days, its continuing now also. There is no major hair fall but at the same time i wont say there is hair growth. yes. There is a balance between hair loss and growth. But whILE combing hair now a days, i can clearly see there are lot of openings on my top area. so i’m not sure whether trying this onion + lemon or honey + oil will help in simulating my hair growth or it will lead to further hair loss. Please do the needful. Thanks
Hi, Thanks for the link. all details are there in it. I have started with the theraphy. I’ve targeted for 2-3 times per week. will keep you posted about the result after a month. Hope all should be well 🙂
Hello again Swati!
Quick question for u- will the egg not go bad when left on overnight as the weather has got quite warm?
