Say Goodbye to Shampoo — Use These Natural Hair Cleansers!Before shampoo became common, people used natural ingredients like reetha, amla, and shikakai to wash their hair. These not only strengthen your hair but also encourage healthy growth, add thickness, and keep hair black for longer.
How to use:
Soak dry amla, reetha, and shikakai in water overnight. In the morning, mash the soaked ingredients and strain the water. Use this nutrient-rich water to wash your hair. Your hair will thank you for the natural care!
Multani mitti (Fuller’s earth) has been a go-to beauty ingredient for centuries. It’s great for both hair and skin care.
For hair: Soak multani mitti and mix it with reetha water to create a natural shampoo. It takes a bit longer than commercial shampoos but gives your hair gentle cleansing and nourishment.
For skin: To fight pimples and brighten your face, mix a pinch of turmeric with multani mitti. If your skin is dry, add a spoonful of curd for extra moisture. Apply this paste on your face, let it dry, and then wash off for a fresh glow.
Gram Flour — The Secret to Radiant SkinGram flour (besan) is a versatile ingredient for enhancing your skin’s complexion and removing dead skin cells.
Try this face pack: Mix one teaspoon of gram flour with a little curd and a pinch of turmeric. Apply this pack three times a week to see your skin gradually become clearer, softer, and more radiant.
Grandma’s wisdom shows that sometimes the best beauty solutions come from nature and patience. Try these remedies regularly, and soon everyone will be asking about your natural beauty secrets!
