Natural hair care remedies are making a strong comeback, and DIY hair packs using ingredients like flaxseed gel and aloe vera water are gaining popularity for boosting hair health. These easy-to-make treatments help nourish the scalp, reduce hair fall, and promote thick, shiny hair. You can control hair fall simply by making some changes to your daily hair care routine and including a homemade hair pack in it; it is something that can help a lot.

Flaxseed gel hair mask
Mix 2 tablespoons of flaxseeds with a cup of filtered water to create a gel-like consistency.
Add 2 teaspoons of aloe vera gel, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 2 teaspoons of castor oil for added nourishment.

Castor oil and coconut oil hair mask

According to Dr. Mahnaz Jahan Begum, Board-certified celebrity cosmetologist, Medical director, Aterm Clinics – Kolkata, “Mix the same amount of castor oil and coconut oil together. This hair mask helps make your hair strong, shiny, and healthy. Castor oil helps with hair growth, and coconut oil deeply nourishes and softens the hair. Apply the mix to your scalp and hair, leave it on for 30–60 minutes, then wash it off with shampoo.”

Honey and egg hair mask

Mix honey and egg together to make a hair mask. The egg gives your hair protein to make it stronger, and the honey adds moisture to keep it soft and shiny. Apply the mixture to your hair, leave it on for about 30 minutes, then wash it off with a mild shampoo.

Banana and papaya hair mask

Mash a ripe banana and papaya, then mix them with a little yogurt or honey. This mask helps to keep your hair soft, smooth, and hydrated. The fruits add moisture and shine, while yogurt or honey gives extra nourishment. Apply it to your hair, leave it on for 30–40 minutes, and then rinse it off with shampoo.
