[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Indian-American and oil massaging the scalp before shampooing was a SOP for hair care growing up.   My mom has beautiful hair (all gray but full, shiny,  smooth hair) even at 80 yrs of age. She never washed her hair without putting some concoction on it first.  Some of it smelled pretty bad  like the raw egg yolk mask  that had to be put on the scalp and let dry and then  washed with cold water first otherwise you would have poached egg on your scalp.

She frequently used to just put home made plain yogurt on her scalp to combat dandruff.  Every once in a while she would mix pure henna powder, beet powder, amla powder, fenugreek and god knows what else with oil, cool brewed tea, honey and apply the paste on her scalp and mine and just let it dry and then wash.  It made a mess of the bathroom.  But our hair was amazing - healthy, bouncy, glossy, silky, with a tinge of red glow.

Of course, if I tell my teen to do all of this they will just say "ewww". . [/quote]

I don't think whatever you mom put on her hair made a difference; Indians have the best hair genes - you have the highest density follicles of all ethnicities. I'm from Europe, where Roma are common and they also have amazing hair, as they trace all the way from Northern India. This is why the wigs made with Indian hair are thousands of dollars.  [/quote]
