Making Your Hair Color Shiny Black Naturally



Mustard Oil
Using mustard oil is an effective way for maintenance of black hair. Take some mustard oil. Heat it for a while and when it cools down, rub it into your scalp first and then spread it to the entire hair. Tie your hair in a knot on your head and let the hair absorb the oil. After about an hour or so, wash your hair with Sheekakai or shampoo. You can follow this process twice or thrice a week whenever you intend to shampoo your hair.

If you want you can add a few pepper corn in the heated mustard oil. This helps in reducing the possibility of catching a cold, owing to exposure of hair to the oil for a longer duration. Infact if you have any problems like migraine, asthma, common cold etc., then do not allow the oil to be absorbed for a longer time. This is the most simple natural hair care tip for shiny black hair. It also helps to cool the body.

For this, heat some mustard oil or coconut oil in a pan and then add few curry leaves to it. Let it heat on a slow flame for some time. Remove it from the stove when the leaves turn black. Allow it to cool. Strain the oil and store it in close tight bottle. While the coconut oil can be used for daily use, the mustard oil preferably should be used before shampooing your hair.
