Ayurveda means knowledge of life
and longevity. And how does it
achieve that?
By emphasising on leading a
balanced life. So not overdoing
anything, be it food, exercise or
sleep. Everything has to be in
moderate amounts. And when that
balance tips either side, you get an
illness.
Interestingly, ayurveda has a say
in hair care as well.
And why not, since ayurveda is a
knowledge of life, and our hair is a
living entity, at least below the
scalp, from where it grows and
gets nourishment and strength.
So, of course, a healthy diet and a
balanced lifestyle will influence
healthy hair growth.
Besides, ayurveda recommends
many herbs that you can apply to
heal and stimulate the scalp and
beautify the hair. And what are
those herbs? Well, there’s a long
list. But in this hair mask, I am
using my most favorite ayurvedic
herbs. And they work really well
with each other to promote strong,
shiny and luscious hair.
Benefits of Ayurvedic Hair Mask
» Strengthens hair roots and adds
volume to your hair
» Stimulates hair growth
» Makes hair so!, smooth, and
shiny
» Soothes an itchy scalp and
helps with dandru"
» Prevents split ends and hair
breakage
» Helps with frizz and fly-aways
Who can use this mask: everyone –
whether your hair is dry or oily,
fine or coarse, frizzy or damaged.
Also if you have excessive hair fall
or dandru", it will benefit you.
The ingredients that you will
need to make this hair mask are:
shikakai, neem, tulsi (holy basil),
and yogurt. Let’s find out more
about these herbs and how to
make ayurvedic hair mask…

1. Shikakai
Also know as fruit for the hair,
shikakai has been used in India for
centuries to promote healthy hair.
It is naturally ph balancing and
helps to detoxify the scalp and
strengthen hair roots. Shikakai
also has mild conditioning
properties that increase
bounciness and silkiness of hair.
2. Neem
Neem is fantastic for your scalp
problems. Its antiseptic, anti-
fungal, antibacterial and anti-viral
properties e"ectively heal irritated
skin/scalp conditions like eczema,
psoriasis, acne, hives and
dandru". Neem is also a great
detoxifier and speeds up the
removal of toxins from the scalp
that could potentially damage hair
and slow growth.
3. Tulsi

Another important herb in
ayurveda, tulsi stimulates scalp
circulation and promotes healthy
hair growth. Plus, the abundant
antioxidants in tulsi protects the
hair from free radical damage—
which can cause hair thinning and
hair loss. Tulsi is also beneficial for
dry, itchy scalp and enhances the
shine of hair.
4. Yogurt
I love using yogurt as a base in my
hair mask for various reasons. It is
very moisturising and nourishing
for hair. It’s also rich in protein
which will help strengthen the hair
follicles. And if your hair is feeling

Now that you know what each
ingredient does for your hair, let
get making…
To make the ayurvedic hair mask,
you will need:
» 5-6 tablespoons full-fat
Yogurt
» 1 teaspoon Shikakai Powder
» ½ teaspoon Neem Powder
» ½ teaspoon Tulsi (holy basil)
Powder
» ½ teaspoon fenugreek or methi
powder (optional)
» 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional,
use for dry hair)
Combine all ingredients in a bowl
and use immediately. Or you can
let it soak for 10-15 minutes —
Soaking helps herbs release their
nourishing properties into the
yogurt.

How to use:
Start with dry or damp hair. Apply
this mask to your scalp and hair.
Put on your shower cap or wrap
your head in a muslin cloth or a
towel.
Leave this on for 20-30 minutes,
then rinse o" thoroughly. Wash
with a natural shampoo and let
your hair dry naturally. Do this
mask once a week to restore and
maintain your hair.
Enjoy your beautiful hair!
Extra Notes:
Using yogurt: For this mask, it’s
best to use plain, whole fat yogurt.
Also, prefer yogurt with live
cultures, as it has an extra benefit
for the scalp health. If you make it
at home that is the best.
Yogurt substitute: If you are a
vegan or don’t like putting yogurt
on your hair, you can replace it
with coconut milk. It o"ers similar
hair benefits as yogurt.
Oiled hair: You can apply the mask
on oiled hair, just don’t add the
extra oil when preparing the mask.
Where to buy the ingredients
You will find most of the
ingredients in an Indian shop. But
can also purchase them online.
Buy tulsi powder here, or if you
can get tulsi leaves then, use their
paste. You can also dry and
powder them yourself.
Buy neem powder here, or you can
also buy dried neem leaves and
powder them yourself.
