Moringa for Hair Health
There are many medicinal benefits to drinking Moringa Oleifera, but what other ways can we use it?
Well, it can be used to promote hair health. Yes! There are natural, chemical free ways to improve your hair health and growth. Moringa contains an abundance of nutrients which can assist with over 300 diseases if used as a daily supplement. Can we apply it directly to the problem area, the scalp? The short and simple answer is, yes!
Vitamins and Minerals to the Rescue!
Moringa has been proven to be antimicrobial, which translates to it having antifungal and antibacterial properties. When applied directly to your scalp, it can relieve dandruff, itching, psoriasis, eczema and bacterial blisters.
- Vitamin C and E are important nutrients as the free radicals in these vitamins are rich in antioxidants. This delays the loss of melanin and promotes longer pigmentation of hair color.
- There are over 9 essential Amino-Acids found in the Moringa Oleifera leaf. Amino-Acids are the building blocks for cell growth and development which means that it activates dormant hair follicles and strengthens air cells to promote growth. This is a natural product rich in Keratin.
- Iron is an essential tool for oxygenating your body as it is carries oxygen through your bloodstream. Applying this nutrient directly to your scalp will oxygenate the follicles that will promote hair growth. Any living being thrives when it is has the ability to breath properly.
- Zinc deficiency has been linked to hair loss. It is an essential mineral to heal damaged hair follicles. The fatty acids found in Moringa thicken hair from the inside by plumping them with healthy fatty acids. These fatty acids liven up your hair by decreasing each strands’ starvation for healthy, chemical free compounds.
Hair Mask Recipe
In my opinion and experience, the chemicals in shampoos and conditioners break down the healthy nutrients in hair. Look for something more natural and lower in sulfate as it will ensure longer lasting pigmentation, especially in dyed hair.
Happy, healthy hair here we come! B
