Last year I went to Paris for a few days and I came across the natural shop ‘Aroma zone’. This shop is really a paradise with all natural products. You can find there a lot of different natural hair herbs, oils, materials to make your own hair products and so much more! It was really a walhalla for a real no-shampoo fan like me! So you can maybe already gues that I walked out with a big bag full of natural hair products, including 4 bags of ayurvedic hair herbs that I didn’t know already.
Because my previous blog about the Ayurvedic hair herbs did not include all the Ayurvedic herbs, this is a sequel. Because there is so much more in the world than shampoo!
11 tips for naturally longer hair
Sometimes it just feels like your hair will not grow past a certain point. You are so ecxited when your hair is a little bit longer, until you remember you have to go to the hair dresser again. Or you look at your split ends and know: ‘Yeah it’s time to go to the hairdresser’. Every time you are in that terrible seat you will say: ‘Only the tips of my ends, I want to let my hair grow’. But every time your at home you can just cry because your hair is the exact same length as it was the last time you came back from a haircut.
I recognize this all so well! Been there and done that! At one point, I thought that the length of your hair was genetically. ‘This is it, it will not get longer’.
I would look at my sisters hair and I just would just not understand how her hair could be so long, and mine just would not grow. But now, after 1,5 years of reading and learning about natural haircare, I think I know what your hair needs and how you can make it grow faster and keep your hair healthy so you don’t have to go to the hairdresser that often. And sorry, but Hair Jazz is definitly not it! My tips and advices below are all personal tips! It is my intention to inform you and help you further. Please remember that I don’t want to lay any restrictions on you.
Washing with chestnuts
Chestnuts! Maybe they are still there? Maybe you’ve already collected a lot and have a stach in your house for decoration, or for the children to play with? But did you know that you can do a lot more with chestnuts? You can also use chestnuts to wash your hair in a natural and very cheap way! And by this I don’t mean you have to take 2 chestnuts in your hand and rub it over your scalp and hair. No, you have to let the soapnuts soak in water and you can use that water to wash your hair! The same way you wash your hair when you use soap nuts. Just like soap nuts, chestnuts contain saponins. Saponin is a natural cleansing ingredient. And it is definitely a little different from those strongly cleansing, chemically shampoo’s from the store… (So, now you also know what my opinion is about shampoo is..)
