Strong, lustrous and healthy hair is something you all dream of. But its easier said than done. Apart from improving nutrition, you also need to follow a hair care routine regularly so that your hair is nourished from deep within. Celeb nutritionist Pooja Makhija recently took to Instagram to talk about Hibiscus oil- which you can prepare at home. Regular application of this oil can help you have healthy and strong hair. Along with this hair oil, it is important that you focus on your protein intake -which is an essential prerequisite for lesser hair fall.

You also need to up your biotin intake (by eating nuts, seeds and tuna for instance). It helps your hair have keratin protein, which facilitates shinier hair. "We do a lot in terms of having good nutrition for hair. But when it comes to hair follicle strength, we may get negligent," says Makhija in her IGTV.
