Grandma's home remedy for hair growth

My half-used bottle of home made hair oil

Let me introduce you to my lovely grandmother, Aamina, who is the protagonist in this herbal hair oil real life story. People fondly call her Mami (I call her ummama). Well, I thought Aamy sounds better than Mami and hence incorporated it in the title of this blog :)

Grandma's long hair growth secrets

My grandma is in her 60's and has luscious thick long curly hairs compared to her friends in the neighborhood. I remember she has always prepared Ayurvedic hair oil for her self and the family. As a child, I never understood its value and never bothered to make it a habit to apply the oil that she prepared. I am 26  and married now, and I have started balding. Though my husband has healthy hairs, he was having a hard time with dandruff.  Last time I visited my grandmother, she offered me freshly prepared home made hair oil.

Single remedy for hair fall, baldness and dandruff 

It has been only a week since we have started applying her home made hair oil for hair fall and dandruff problems and the change we see is extraordinary. I feel my hair much softer and darker, and yes, my hair fall has profoundly reduced. What's more interesting? My husband has stopped complaining about his dandruff :) Yay, that's certainly something BIG for me :)

My experience has taught me a big lesson. Expensive shampoos and conditioners you get in the market are not permanent solutions for hair problems. They deteriorate hair health as time goes by. The only permanent solution for preventing hair loss are hair oils prepared using Ayurvedic herbs.
