Ever look back at photos of your youth and long for the same flowing, vibrant locks that shimmer with vitality? Instead of relying on costly salon treatments and chemical-laden hair products, why not try the power of natural hair care and nature's goodness? A few scientifically proven and easily accessible kitchen ingredients can revitalise your hair, making it stronger and shinier.
This blog explores three hair-loving heroes: moringa seeds, elderberries and white beans. Let’s unpack the science behind their benefits and provide easy DIY recipes for incorporating them into your hair care routine.
White Beans for Strength and Shine
White Beans offer much more than a delicious and affordable meal addition. They are super rich in nutrients—essential for healthy hair growth. The small but mighty beans are a fantastic source of protein, which is the building block of healthy locks. Biotin contributes to improved hair growth and overall quality. Iron deficiency is a recognised culprit behind hair loss, and including iron-rich beans in your hair care regimen, alongside a balanced diet, can promote stronger hair.
DIY White Bean Hair Mask for Deep Conditioning
-
Mash 1/2 cup of cooked white beans.
-
Combine 30 ml of honey with 30 ml of olive oil and stir.
-
Coat your hair starting from the mid-lengths, focusing on the ends, covering the natural treatment, and leaving it on for about 20 minutes.
-
Rinse your hair thoroughly using only the pads of your fingers and hypoallergenic shampoo to remove any residue.
-
Rinse again with cool water and follow up with your regular conditioner.
Fight Frizz with Elderberries
Elderberries aren't just for jams and smoothies! They're antioxidant and vitamin superstars, ideal for controlling frizz in unruly hair. These antioxidants combat free radical damage, which can contribute to hair loss and breakage. Elderberry-infused hair products can smooth the hair cuticle and enhance manageability.
Soothing Elderberry Hair Rinse Recipe
- Combine 1 cup of dried elderberries in a pot with 4 cups of boiling water.
- Let the mixture steep for about 30 minutes.
- In a sieve, strain the liquid and leave it to cool completely.
- After shampooing and conditioning, rinse your hair with the cooled elderberry tea.
- There is no need to rinse again! Simply air-dry or style as usual.
Stimulate Hair Growth with Moringa Seeds
Moringa oleifera, often referred to as the “miracle tree,” lives up to its name regarding hair health. Minerals, vitamins, and essential fatty acids, all of which nourish your scalp and hair follicles. Moringa-infused meals may address iron deficiencies while also promoting stronger hair growth and preventing hair loss.
Moringa Hair Growth Tea
