Have you heard of moringa? Many people would say that they have not. It is a natural ingredient, one that is getting a lot of attention for its health benefits, specifically just how effective it has been in helping people with hair concerns. If you have been using turmeric or matcha as a way to treat your hair, you may want to stop for a bit and try moringa. It may be just what you are looking for to give your hair the look and feel that you desire. It can be a significant improvement for some people.
Let’s Take a Closer Look
Moringa is a type of plant, sometimes called a miracle tree, and other times referred to as a drumstick tree. No matter what the name of it is, it has a lot to do with health. In fact, the leaves from this plant have long been used as a way to improve health. That is because it contains anti-inflammatory nutrients and properties – helping to reduce inflammation throughout your body. It can also be used as an antiviral and antifungal. Take a look at how moringa can help your skin and hair more specifically.
It is really what is in the plant that makes all of the difference. The oils and extracts that come from the moringa plant are specifically what you want to look for when you want a natural, herbal remedy. It has been used this way for centuries. There are even a few beauty brands that are using moringa rather heavily. Yet, what it can do for your hair is rather interesting. Many times, these products are added to moisturize hair and to treat the scalp. Yet, moringa can also help to strengthen your hair.
Create a Simple Mask
One of the best ways to get this benefit is to create a hair mask. This needs to include just a handful of simple ingredients – a cup of coconut oil milk, and a 1/8 of a cup of both raw honey and moringa powder. Mix it together after heating the coconut oil milk slightly. Layer it on your hair rather thick. Then, allow it to remain for a few minutes. You will want to place a shower cap on your heat to hold it in place. This helps to lock in the moisturizer. Wait 10 to 15 minutes. Then, rinse your hair. You should not need to wash it out. Instead, keep it in long term.
Buying Products
There is a range of hair related products that offer moringa as an ingredient. These can work if you are choosing the right products. Look for those that contain this plant as an essential oil. Then, be sure to use only those that are all natural – whenever possible – to get the most from it. You do not want to use a lot of it in any case. You will find a variety of options including jelly, oils, and some lotions. Look for hair specific options.
Add It to Your Diet
Another way that moringa can work to help boost your hair health is to consider adding it to your diet. You do not have to add much – and you really should try to do so on a consistent basis to get good results – but you may notice improvements overall. You can add it to food as a supplement, such as adding it onto your soup or into a dish. You do not need to cook it, though. You can also create a tea from the plant leaves. You may find some products on the market already in this form.
