Hair Care

I have a lot of problem with hair falling out and nothing I've done so far has helped. Does anyone have any tips for looking after the hair? Any recommendations for shampoos etc?
Thanks,
Jasleen

My daughter had the same problem Jasleen, doctor's checked it out including dermatologist nothing worked. Then i read in paper to massage the hair with lemon and oil ( i use AMLA oil by Dabur) I started doing that and noticed the difference the hair stopped falling. But again from our experience - wash your hair atleast twice a week and massage it with lemon and oil mixed ( i wait between 30-60 minutes before washing her hair ) Hope this works for you - goodluck

Since a major stroke in 2006, I have had a lot of hair problems. My formerly waist-length kes now reaches only to the middle of my back. Crying does not help. I tried that.

I have also been massaging my scalp with hair oil, although I have not used lemon. I have noticed new hair growth, especially around the temples. For me, though, I have to do this every day and leave the oil in rather than washing it out. My hair is extremely dry and washing it every day is completely out. Twice a week is about right for me, with an occasional water rinse as necessary.

As for shampoo and conditioner and the like, I have found the Garnier Fructis line to be the best for me. I do not use salon products. It is possible that they may work better, but I find them outrageously expensive and, besides, you can only get them in salons and salons creep me out with dead hair all over the place and the chemical smells.

I wish I could recommend some good organic, natural line, but the ones I have tried simply don't work.

Of course, hair is no healthier than the body it grows from, so looking after your general health - nutrition and exercise and all that good stuff is of first importance, along with a healthy simran life. Tension can also make hair fall out , so learning to relax amidst the tensions of life helps.

In the end, if it is genetic, there's not much you can do except follow whatever regimen works best for you and accept it as the Hukam of Vasheguru.

Thank you both for your advice.

When I was last in India, I saw a lot of adverts for mehndi (henna) as a good conditioner. Does anyone have experience with this? Does it work or is it a marketing ploy?

Thank you

I know it was used by ancient Egyptians both for conditioning and colouring of the hair. That's about all I know, except if you try it, use the pure stuff from India; most of the stuff in USA/Canada called henna are full of chemicals and contain little, if any henna.

I feel that all my "keeping kesh" problems are really pretty wonderful since it means that I have the Sikhly honour of keeping kesh in the first place.

Gurufateh!

Lets listen from a Guy abt the falling hair problem.

thing dat works for me is wash The Kesh once a week (as my Kesh are covered with turban once a week is enough). Putting good quality oil (may be non sticky or any other which is not so oily) and not washing it (oil) away. Washing with Amla, Shikakaai and reetha also helps as it is tried by my Bhua Ji

Dats it!!!

Kaur or Singh, we all have the same issues! Thank you for your advice. Is baby oil suitable? Are there any other oils you recommend? What about Livon?
Thanks

Here some tips for hair care:

• Apply a paste of fenugreek and mustard to the scalp.
• Mix Shikakai powder with the water drained from the cooked rice and wash the hair with it.
• Crush the leaves of five petal hibiscus flower and take the juice. Wash the hair with this juice.
