Hello ladies, do you know basil leaves help with hair growth and repair? Most commonly known as “Tulsi” in India, the basil plant is a leafy herb belonging to the mint family.
It is called 'SCENT LEAF'' by some folks in Africa
Basil Leaf is highly medicinal not only for hair alone but for the body in general but as usual I shall be talking about its benefits to hair. Basil leaf prevents hair loss when you massage the oil into your scalp and hair frequently.
It helps cool the scalp, reduces itchiness, and promotes hair growth by improving blood circulation in your scalp. For those complaining of brittle/ thinning /weak hair, massage it into your scalp as it’s effective in strengthening the hair shaft.
Do you complain of unhealthy hair? Then you can try basil leaves as it helps in rejuvenating and producing healthy hair by stimulating the hair follicles.
Basil leaves have antioxidant properties, they contain flavonoids, orientin, and vicenin that protect the chromosomes and cell structures from oxidation, thus preventing cell aging and death and providing protection against radiation damage. It helps prevent grey hair also.
So to our DIY Queens, you can try it and tell us the outcome.
Directions:
- Pick the leaves
- Rinse with warm water (do not squeeze)
- Dry them
- Blend using a hand/manual blender or the traditional mortar
- Add a cup of Sunflower /Olive or Coconut oil
- Mix them together
- Cover and leave in the fridge for 5 days11 days
- Strain and pour the oil into a bottle, and leave the oil permanently in the fridge for freshness(I left mine outside the fridge, and after 11days it went bad so I will advise you to make a little quantity at a time)
FOR PREVENTION OF GREY HAIR & SHEDDING
Soak dried basil leaves powder and Amla powder in water overnight and wash your hair with it after straining it the next morning.
Note- Just like in all hair treatments, you must do this either weekly or however you want but regularly before you can see improvement.
Happy hair grooming ladies!
