Going the natural way! We love our hair. Hair health plays the deciding role in factors like styling and personality. Few of the common hair problems faced by all includes; hair fall, damage and dandruff. Hair fall used to be a sign of ageing, pollution, hectic lifestyle and never-ending work stress paves way for hair fall.
Instant results is not the right solution for healthy hair. Each strand of our hair goes through 3 stages in its entire cycle: The anagen stage [when hair growth is actually seen]. The anagen stage [more of a transitional phase] and the catagen phase [renting phase which lasts for about 2-4 months].
