Here are some of the best ways to fight the prickly heat and stay cool this summer.
Take a hand full of hibiscus flower and about 5 tender neem leaves. Grind both together and apply all over the scalp and leave it for 5 minutes, and then rinse it off. This will protect your scalp from the prickly heat, itching and troubles caused by sweating in this summer. Above all, your hair will get completely clean and free from germs
Perk up the same by adding 3 spoons of Reetha or soapnut. This will give your hair an added shine
Take half a cup of coconut milk, half cup of whole green gram powder, 2 spoons of fenugreek seed powder and make it into a paste. This can be used on hair directly as shampoo. You can practice this method for two to three times a week. This is best suited for those who do not prefer to apply hair oil. This will give a natural shine on par with the glaze and glow obtained through coconut oil. Those who often travel and those who stay in air conditioned rooms most of the time tend to get their hair dried. If they apply hair oil over this, the oil will get mixed with sweat and hence a lot of people stay away from applying hair oil. For such people, this will serve as the best solution
Take a spoon full of fenugreek seeds, a spoon of toor dal, 2 pungaikaai. Soak all the three together in warm water overnight. Grind it into paste in the next day morning and use it as a pack for hair. Leave it on your hair for about 10 minutes and wash off. This will protect your hair from sun
Take tender coconut and grind it with 3 spoons of gram flour. This will result as a smooth paste. Apply this all over your head and wash it off after ten minutes
Take a spoon of Ajwain, fenugreek seeds and pepper each. Grind it into a coarse powder. Add 100 ml of gingely oil. Boil the mixture and cool it down. Use this on your air for once a week. Apply all over the hair and wash off. This will largely reduce body temperature and give your hair a natural shine and glow
