DIY HAIR OILS 

1) Hair growth:

Curry Leaves & Coconut Oil: Curry leaves are found in any brown skin kitchen! Just ask your mom for a handful, dry them in the sun for about 2 days! Then boil 100ml of coconut oil with the dry curry leaves, let it cool and use on scalp & hair! Curry leaves are rich in essential nutrients that prevent hair thinning and hair fall but strengthening the hair follicles at the root! The leaves also have proteins that aid with hair growth.

2) To tackle dandruff:  

Tea Tree Oil & Olive/Coconut Oil: Tea Tree oil is an antibacterial and antifungal oil that treats dandruff and other scalp infections. Just take a bit of olive or coconut oil and mix it in with a few drops of tree oil. Then massage it in your scalp for about 30 mins to reduce dandruff!  

3) Add shine: 

Castor oil is a very versatile oil as it can be used on your eyebrows and eyelashes as well as it aids with hair growth. It does tend to be a bit greasy, so we do recommend mixing it with almond or olive oil if you aren’t fond of it on its own. You should massage it in your hair, put on a shower cap and leave it in overnight for your hair to soak it all up. Shower with a mild shampoo, sometimes you would need to shampoo twice with a clarifying shampoo depending on your scalp. 

 

HAIR CARE TOOLS 

1) Scalp Massager: When wet, it helps clean your hair with shampoo without the need of scratching your scalp with nails. When dry, massaging the scalp helps create blood flow. It also helps reduce dandruff and will make your hair shinier and hair roots stronger. We would also recommend using the massager gently with the hair oils in your head to enhance blood circulation and strength your hair follicles.  

2) Mulberry Silk Scrunchies: Mulberry Silk prevents frizz, doesn’t tug, and has so damage! It promotes healthy hair and doesn’t absorb natural hair oils like other hair ties. One size fit all and is perfect for all hair types. We at TEB have three different sizes for the thickness of the scrunchie and have several different colors!
