Homemade hair-packs and conditioners for normal hair

To those lucky ones who have normal hair, here are some great hair-packs and conditioners to try.

1. Add a tsp of Brahmi (Asiatic pennywort) leaves (Brahmi Powder, if leaves are not available) to a small bottle of castor oil. Warm it and work it into your scalp at night. Wash it off in the morning. Remember to wash your scalp thoroughly to ease out the sticky castor oil.
