(1)Anti-hairfall mask
    Hairfall is a major concern of so many people. Hairfall can many reasons like medication, stress, underlying health concern, etc. It can even happen because of inadequate nutrition in diet. If you face hairfall, this mask is definitely worth a try.

Apply this mixture to the scalp. Keep it on hair for an hour and then wash off using a mild shampoo followed by a conditioner. Do this once a week for a month and you will definitely notice a difference.
Onion contains large amounts of sulphur which helps in strengthening hair and even in the growth of new ones. If you do not notice a change after using this mask, do consult a doctor.

(2)Hair Growth mask

Method: Add a spoon of castor oil and a spoon of aloe vera gel to a bowl. Mix this well until a white paste is formed. Apply this mixture all over the hair but mainly concentrate on the scalp. Keep it on for 1-2 hours and then wash it off using a mild shampoo followed by conditioner. You might have to shampoo twice as castor oil has a very thick consistency.

Castor oil is rich in fatty acids and thus promote hair growth while aloe vera gel helps in soothing any kind of inflammation.

Due to the antibacterial properties of fenugreek and lactic acid in curd this paste works as magic in fighting against dandruff.


(4)Protein mask
    If your hair is lifeless these days, its time for a protein treatment!
Method: Apply egg white of one egg to entire hair as well as scalp. Keep it on until the egg dries and wash off just using water.
The protein in egg makes your hair bouncy and shiny in just one use!
