7 Herbal Solutions for Hair Fall & Dandruff
Hair fall and dandruff are two of the most common scalp problems faced by men and women in Pakistan. Stress, pollution, poor diet, and chemical-based shampoos often worsen these conditions. Thankfully, herbal remedies provide safe, effective, and affordable solutions to restore scalp health naturally. Here are seven tried-and-tested herbal solutions that can help you control hair fall and eliminate dandruff without harsh chemicals.
1. Amla (Indian Gooseberry)
Amla is rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, which strengthen hair follicles and promote hair growth. You can use amla powder mixed with water as a hair mask or massage your scalp with amla oil regularly to reduce hair fall and add shine.
2. Reetha (Soapnut)
Reetha is a natural cleanser that removes excess oil and dirt from the scalp without stripping away natural moisture. Boil reetha pods in water, strain the liquid, and use it as a natural shampoo to control dandruff and promote hair growth.
3. Shikakai
Known as the “fruit for hair,” shikakai is a mild cleanser that strengthens hair roots, prevents dandruff, and adds natural shine. Using a shikakai powder hair wash twice a week can significantly reduce scalp itchiness.
4. Neem
Neem has strong antifungal properties, making it one of the best natural remedies for dandruff. Boil neem leaves in water and rinse your hair with this water after shampooing to kill dandruff-causing fungus and soothe the scalp.
5. Hibiscus Flowers
Hibiscus is excellent for nourishing the scalp, preventing premature graying, and boosting hair growth. Make a paste of hibiscus flowers and apply to your scalp for 30 minutes before rinsing off.
6. Fenugreek Seeds (Methi)
Fenugreek seeds are loaded with protein and nicotinic acid, which strengthen hair shafts and reduce hair fall. Soak fenugreek seeds overnight, grind them into a paste, and apply to your scalp as a nourishing hair mask.
7. Aloe Vera
Aloe vera has soothing, anti-inflammatory properties that calm an itchy scalp and reduce dandruff. Apply fresh aloe vera gel directly to the scalp, leave for 20–30 minutes, and rinse off for a cool, refreshed scalp.
