Introduction
Beautiful, strong hair is something many of us strive for—it’s a sign of health, confidence, and good self-care. But with pollution, heat styling, harsh chemical treatments, and stressful lifestyles, our hair often becomes weak, brittle, and prone to breakage.
Top 10 Herbal Remedies
At NatBlush, we believe in going back to nature. Our herbal, chemical-free formulations are inspired by centuries-old Ayurvedic wisdom and modern botanical science. In this post, we’ll share the top 10 herbal remedies you can use to nourish your hair, reduce breakage, and bring back shine—naturally.
1. Amla (Indian Gooseberry)

2. Bhringraj
- Known as the “King of Hair” in Ayurveda. Encourages hair growth, reduces hair fall.
- Helps improve scalp circulation and may provide natural nourishment to hair roots.
3. Shikakai
- Gentle natural cleanser; less stripping than many commercial shampoos.
- Helps cleanse build-up, maintain scalp health, and reduce dandruff, which in turn supports stronger hair.
4. Neem

8. Peppermint
