In this video, I am going to share with you 4  things that are best for complete hair care.  

Shampoo, conditioner, hair oil, hair mask or a  hair serum, all will be check for you, if you  

have just these 4 things in your grooming cabinet.  Even though, there are many natural ingredients  

around us but while selecting these 4 my focus  was on 4 things. First and most importantly, they  

should be extremely effective. And I can assure  you that using them just once, you can feel them  

at par with their commercial counterparts. Second,  they should be easy and practical to use. Thirdly,  

they should be easily available near you. And  finally, they should not rip your pockets as  

most commercial products do. So if you are  tired of falling hair, premature grey hair,  

dandruff or you just want to maintain your long  and healthy hair this is the video for you. So  

without any further delay, let’s get started. Hello Friends! Welcome to Fit Tuber. If I have to  

tell you just one thing that can almost instantly  take the health of your hair to that next level,  

I would say bhringraj powder. In Ayurvedic  scriptures, Bhringraj is called Kesharaj which  

means the ruler of hair. And why just Ayurveda,  even modern studies vouch for its amazing benefits  

for hair. Suffering from hair fall we often tend  to seek refuge in the Minoxidil solution but the  

scientific perception changed after 2008 when in  a study done on rats, bhringraj oil was not only  

found to be more effective in reducing hair fall  than 2% Minoxidil solution but it also opened up  

more hair follicles in the subjects. Its only  after this study that you see bhringraj based  

hair care products being intensively marketed..  But making an effective bhringraj hair oil at  

home is a cakewalk. Its literally easier than  making maggi. In a kadhai, put 200 ml of coconut  

oil and 1 tablespoon of bhringraj powder. Now  just let it cook for 20 minutes on a low flame  

while you can watch your favourite series. That’s  it. Turn the flame off, cover it and let it cool.  

Then whenever you get time, strain and transfer  it into a hair oil bottle and keep it in place  

of this crap. Use it like a normal hair oil and  witness those new hair follicles opening up. Do  

you know that bhringraj powder is naturally very  high in vitamin E? This is why it can be used as  

a hair growth serum. In a pan, take 600 ml water.  Add 1 tablespoon of bhringraj powder in it. And  

let it boil on a low flame for 15-20 minutes. The  quantity of water will reduce to almost 1/3rd. Now  

strain it and store it in a spray bottle. 1 hour  before taking bath apply it on your hair and then  

wash normally. Shampoo isn’t required. This 10 Rs  water based serum reduce frizzy hair better than  

those expensive silicon based hair serums that  damage the hair follicles. But to believe it,  

you need to first try it. Bhringraj powder is  not only a natural DHT blocker but it has some  

special plant compounds that nourish the scalp and  strengthens the roots. Which is why, my favourite  

use of bhringraj powder is as a hair mask. You  just need 2 things. Bhringraj powder ofcourse  

and a carrier. If you have dry hair like me mix  bhringraj powder in curd. If you have oily scalp,  

you can mix it in aloe vera gel and if you are  too lazy to do any of this simply mix it in water.  

Apply it evenly onto your hair. Make sure that you  also apply it on the scalp. Then let it nourish  

your hair for at least 20 minutes. Then you can  wash it off using a natural shampoo which shall  

be revealed later in this video. In just one wash,  you can feel the softness and silkiness in the  

hair. Most hair masks in the Indian market are  not only expensive but are designed to provide  

an instant shine but damage the hair follicles if  used frequently. Why waste money on them when you  

can make such an effective hair mask with just  2 ingredients. Bhringraj powder is probably the  

best thing one can use for hair. 100 grams of it  can be bought online for 250 Rs while the same  

quantity is available offline at just Rs 100.  Anyway, it works and that’s what’s important. 

Then keep in mind that how strong or weak  your hair will be, depends a lot on the  

shampoo that you use. So I think your hair  deserves not just India’s but world’s best  

shampoo and that is none other than Reetha  also known as Soapnut. As its name reveals,  

its a nut from a tree that has soap in it. Reetha  contains saponins that remove excess oil and dirt  

from the scalp without stripping off the natural  oils. Without stripping off the natural oils.  

That’s exactly why it nourishes the hair roots  and doesn’t damage it like a heavily chemical  

laden shampoo does. And why just for shampooing,  attributing to its impressive nutrient profile and  

antimicrobial nature reetha water wash has been  used as a remedy since ages to curb dandruff,  

prevent head lice and scalp itching. Having using  it myself for the past 2 years, even though it  

doesn’t make that typical foam, I can bet that  it works wonders. That’s because its saponins  

are quite powerful to de-oil and cleanse the hair  effectively. So as compared to other shampoos,  

be sure that you need very less reetha. And if  you compare the price, other shampoos will run  

away faster than Usain bolt. Dried soapnuts can  be bought at Rs 300 for Kg. No need to de seed  

them. Directly grind them into a powder and your  2 years stock of shampoo is ready. I don’t think  

it can get better than this. If you don’t want  to grind them, no problem, you can buy reetha  

powder directly from any grocery shop. That way  you will get it for Rs 60 for 200 grams. The only  

precaution that you should take while using reetha  is that it should not get into your eyes. Even  

though, its not harmful but it burns. Otherwise  its so natural that you can even eat it. Infact,  

its a part of many Ayurvedic medicines. So its  time we get back to our roots and embrace this  

forgotten wonder. Even though reetha powder alone  is enough, if you want to you can even mix amla  

powder and shikakkai powder in equal quantities.  Keep it in a container in your washroom along  

with a small bowl. Everytime you wish to  shampoo, just take a little of reetha powder,  

mix water and apply as a normal shampoo. Once  you get used to it, you will turn your back to  

head and shoulders and things like that. Let’s talk about the next best thing for  

hair. There is one oil which if you apply on  your eyelashes, they begin to grow. If you  

start applying this oil on your beard, your beard  becomes dense. And if you apply it on your head,  

your hair growth can increase by as much as  5 times. Any guesses which oil I am talking  

about? Yes, you are right. It is castor oil.  There are so many people who have transformed  

their hair health by using just this one thing.  But there are two problems with castor oil. One  

that it has a weird smell and second that its  very dense. Almost impractical to use it alone.  

But both these issues get resolved if you mix it  with another oil. I feel castor oil blends well  

with coconut oil. In a bottle, mix castor oil and  coconut oil in 1:4 ratio. That means in 10 ml of  

castor oil put 40 ml of coconut oil. If you have  very dry rough hair or you have damaged your hair,  

may be because of overuse of products. Or you  simply want to increase the growth of your hair,  

I recommend that you use this oil as your regular  hair oil. To experience its enhanced benefit,  

once a week you can evenly massage this oil  on your scalp and leave it overnight. In the  

morning you can wash it off using reetha powder.  Castor oil mixed with aloe vera gel is one of my  

all time favourite hair masks. Simply mix them in  equal quantities and you get this creamy looking  

hair mask. Apply and keep it for at least 30  minutes and then wash off using reetha powder.  

In just one application, you will notice your hair  shining. The scalp will get properly moisturised  

which will strengthen the roots. Castor oil is  easily available both online and offline. Online  

you can get 200 ml of it for Rs 180 while at a  chemist shop you can get Rs 100 ml for just Rs 60. 

Then I want to talk about one food which  is not just a food but a potent supplement  

for hair. Its curry leaves. Curry leaves have 3  things that make it a superfood for hair. First,  

it is rich in B vitamins and special antioxidants  that are scientifically noted to increase the  

production of melanin in the hair follicles. So  for someone suffering from premature greying of  

hair, curry leaves is a great addition to diet.  Secondly, curry leaves are a great source of  

amino acids. If you see, hair is nothing but  protein and protein is made up of amino acids.  

So when you eat curry leaves you are eating  the easily absorbable form of protein which  

helps strengthening the hair roots. This is the  reason surveys show that people in south India  

who use curry leaves for the tadka are face lesser  hair problems. Third curry leaves are a digestive  

aid. And according to Ayurveda, the root of  hair problems lies in the stomach. In fact,  

there have been numerous studies which prove that  if one has good quality bacteria in the gut, not  

just hair fall stops but hair growth increases.  And cury leaves are anti bacterial which reduces  

the bad bacteria in the gut. Best thing about  curry leaves is that there are versatile ways by  

which you can include curry leaves in your diet.  One is simply to chew fresh curry leaves before  

breakfast. There are comments that show how well  it has worked for people. Then you can add curry  

leaves in making chutneys. You can put them in  rice. Some recipes like poha, upma, curd rice and  

kadhi naturally call for curry leaves. Buttermilk  is tempered with curry leaves. In the last video,  

we talked about how one can add things in atta  to make it more nutritious. For hair, one can add  

curry leaf powder in atta. Its easily available  online as well as offline Not only curry leaves  

are flavourful but they are also a protector of  your hair. Walk around and you can easily find a  

curry leaf plant in your vicinity. Make use of  them and they will make your hair look better. 

Now before we wrap up, I want to talk about 5  common mistakes that people on a daily basis  

that damage their hair. First mistake which is  also the crux of this video is to try and avoid  

using too many products on your hair. Most of  these products have strong chemicals that damage  

the hair in long run. Second mistake that leads to  hair breakage is heat. So always try to keep your  

hair covered when you are out in the afternoon.  Never pour hot water on the head. Also,keep the  

use of hot hair blow dryers to minimum. Then if  your hair is prone to breakage, you should avoid  

combing wet hair or vigorously rubbing them  off to dry. Fourth common mistake that I see  

which leads to hair problems is that some people  never oil their hair. If you never oil the hair,  

be sure that your hair roots will get weaker. So avoid these 4 mistakes and start using  

these 4 things. Bhringaraj powder can  be used to make an effective hair oil,  

hair serum and a hair mask. Reetha is the ultimate  hair shampoo. Castor oil blended with another oil  

like coconut oil is a natural hair growth oil.  And curry leaves act as a natural supplement for  

the hair. Try to include it in your diet as often  as you can. I would also recommend that you check  

out part one of this series where I talked about  5 best things for skin. Talking more about skin,  

if you are looking for a toxin free face wash in  the Indian market, mamaearth’s foaming face wash  

is one genuine option. Turn the pack and you can  see that it has no strong chemicals. No sulphates,  

no edtas, no hard alcohols, no artificial  fragrance. In fact, it has extracts of aloe vera,
