Fenugreek Seeds With Oil
Another homemade remedy is to use fenugreek seeds. You can take half a glass of fenugreek seeds and soak it in water. Leave the soaked fenugreek seeds overnight. The next day, grind the fenugreek seeds in a mixer and prepare a paste. Take a cup of pure coconut oil and mix the paste in the oil. Apply the oil gently on the hair and the scalp. Applying this oil regularly will revitalize and strengthen the hair. It is also good for hair growth.
Basil Leaves And Pepper

Cool the oil and apply it to the hair thoroughly. Massaging with this oil regularly, will nourish your hair and also strengthen it.
Aloe Vera And Other Ayurvedic Herbs With Oil
Prepare a mixture of Aloe Vera (few 3 inch pieces), hibiscus (5 flowers and 5 leaves), curry leaves (one handful), kurunthotti (side herb – one handful), fenugreek seeds (2 teaspoons), gooseberry (dry or fresh – 5 numbers), lemon juice (from one piece), black pepper (1 teaspoon), henna (one handful), basil leaves (one handful), and sambrani leaves (five leaves).
Grind the contents nicely and prepare a paste. Add this paste to the heated oil and allow it to boil. When its color changes from green to brown, turn off the stove and allow it to cool.

Steam Treatment
This is a simple home remedy. You can cure damaged hair by applying steam to it.

Add a few basil leaves in water and boil it. Ensure you take the steam on the hair thoroughly. Practicing this will cure the hair damage problem. Optionally, you can add paddy in water (without the basil leaves) and boil the contents before applying the steam to the hair.
