Oiling is a traditional and ancient way to keep your hair beautiful and nourished. Coconut oil and Aloe vera gel can do wonders for your hair. Don’t go too much into your roots and instead focus more on the outer ends. Do this half an before you hop into the shower. Even Ayurvedic oils which are readily available in the market promote blood circulation and strengthen your hair.
