Crazy amount of mixing involved here...has anyone tried this?

[SweetSpirit86]

..and if so, how'd you like it? I had bookmarked someone's mixture of honey, lemon, and coconut oil (I think...), but my computer jumped ship on me and I had to reformat it. Since my lazy behind put off backing it up for so long, I lost all of that information. I couldn't find it so I tried to google it and got this.

For Healthy and Shiny hair

• It is better to apply castor oil for a healthy growth of hair.
• Wash hair with [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]tea[/COLOR][/COLOR] once in a week.
• Apply besan in the hair and wash it with water drained from the cooked rice.
• Soak a handful of gooseberry in a cup of milk for two hours. Make it as a paste and apply in the hair.
• Apply the mixture of an egg white, 2 spoon of castor oil, 1 spoon glycerin, in the scalp and hair. Wash it after some time.
• Massage hair with warm coconut oil an hour before [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]washing[/COLOR][/COLOR]. Let it soak. Cover your head with a hot [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]towel[/COLOR][/COLOR] and wash your hair after an hour or so.
• Boil a few hibiscus flowers in coconut oil. Filter and use this [COLOR=blue ! important][COLOR=blue ! important]hair [COLOR=blue ! important]oil[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] to control hair loss and thinning.
• Do a 'steam-towel-wrap' once in a while, if your cuticles are damaged, as this steaming opens out the pores and absorbs the oil.
• Deep condition with curd, beer and egg.
• Mix a little vinegar in warm water and rinse your hair with this solution. This will add bounce to dull and lifeless hair.
• Soak 1 teaspoon fenugreek in curd and keep it for a night. Have it in the next morning.
• Boil coconut oil with the juices of curry leaves, basil, hibiscus flower and gooseberry. Apply on hair, keep it for sometime and rinse.
• Egg white and curd is a good conditioner for hair.
• Take a cup of coconut and mustard oils. Soak half a cup of curry leaves in the oil mixture and keep it for a night. Next morning, heat on a slow fire till the curry leaves turn crisp. Remove from heat and add two to three camphor balls. Allow oil to cool and then strain. Apply oil to hair roots using cotton wool along the parting and massage in circular movements. Leave the oil overnight and shampoo the next morning. Repeat twice a week.
• Add a lemon peel to a 'shikakai' and 'amla' mixture while washing your hair.

That's how I felt as I read all of it, lol. However, I'm curious as to the benefits of each part..like why so many? What's the purpose? lol

I've read something similar to this before on an Auyurveda Blog. I don't think you are meant to do all of these steps in one go. Some are good protein treatments, some are good for softening the hair etc. so you would choose what you need from the list and not do everything at once

Oooooh...that makes a whole lot more sense, lol. Good thing I asked...instead of just going and buying all this and doing it in one swoop!!
