New Year. New Goals. New Hair Focus.
Step into the world of Ayurvedic healthy hair care. It’s one that can be overwhelming because there are so many choices. In this article, I’m going to narrow it down for you. It’s much simpler then it seems. We’re also going to be focusing on Ayurvedic herbs that will not color your hair (hence, henna will not be included).
First you have to decide, what is your hair focus and goals.
CLEANSE
Should your focus be to cleanse your hair, we highly recommend you use Shikakai powder, Soapnut Powder and Cassia Obovata.
Simply mix your Ayurvedic herb(s) with warm to hot liquid (like distilled water) and lather it in your hands. Rub gently into your hair and cleanse. Rinse out with cool to warm water. Since these powders don’t have as much slip you can add a little bit of conditioner or use our Cleansing CoWashes which are infused with Shikakai powder.
Other great herbs and blends of herbs that work well for conditioning the hair are Goddess Hair, Organic Cassia, Zizyphus Powder and Sukesh Ayurveda.
CONDITION
The best moisturizing herb which is a total game changer for most, is our Organic Aloe Vera powder. A small amount goes a long way too. Only 5% is needed to a whole recipe. Unfortunately some people are allergic to aloe and luckily there are alternatives. You can use oils (like Camellia Oil or Jojoba Oil), hair butters (Shea Butter or Cocoa Butter) to moisturize your Ayurvedic hair care recipes and even Fenugreek. Again, only a small amount is needed.
Tip: When creating a new recipe make sure to keep the herbs you want the most benefit from as the primary ingredient. Once you dilute with other ingredients you’ll loose the potency of the herbs you really want the most benefits from.
STRENGTHEN
Stronger, longer and healthier beautiful hair, right? Absolutely! The perfect herbs for this focus would be Brahmi, Bhringraj, Hibiscus, Sukesh, Goddess Hair, Cassia and Zizyphus powder.
These are very easy to use and you can find DIY recipes right on each products individual page online at www.hennasooq.com but what if you don’t want to mix these up yourself?
