Hair loss and stunt hair growth is a major problem these days thanks to stress, pollution, lack of nutrition and genes. During our granny’s time, girls used to have a natural long hair because they had a habit of pampering their hair with homemade products. A lot of natural remedies work for hair problems like dandruff, premature graying, hair loss, and hair fall.

Things you need –
- 1 teaspoon of garlic powder (even juice will do but powder seems to mix well with oil)
- 4-5 tablespoons of coconut oil.
Method-
Warm some coconut oil and pour it into a bowl. You can add in more coconut oil (and garlic powder or juice) depending on the length and thickness of your hair. Now, add in 1 teaspoon of garlic powder or juice whatever is available and give it a good mix. Make sure there are no powder lumps and mix it until the oil gets a homogenous texture and even brown color (if the powder is used). Your oil is ready.
To use, make partitions in your hair and apply the oil thoroughly onto the scalp. Repeat the process until every inch of your scalp is covered properly. Apply the remaining oil on your hair and massage your scalp so that the oil gets absorbed into your scalp. Keep it overnight or for 2-3 hours. Shampoo it off as usual and you are done! Repeat the procedure once or twice a week for quick results.
Caution – Patch test before use.
