Who doesn’t dream of having long and healthy hair? I know I do. But the truth is that good-quality hair products often cost a lot of money. It’s almost insane — we have normalized spending hundreds of dollars on basic things such as hair shampoo and conditioner. Luckily, to have thick and healthy hair, you don’t need any of those things. All you really need is the power of nature and your own kitchen. If you’re interested in herbal hair revival, you probably already know how powerful lavender is. So let’s explain how you can harness the power of lavender for healthy and lustrous locks.
Scalp oil for hair growth
A gentle scalp massage with lavender oil can work wonders for hair growth and scalp health. Lavender oil improves blood circulation, which helps deliver vital nutrients to the hair follicles and promotes hair growth. Simply warm a small amount of lavender oil in your palms and massage it into your scalp using circular motions. Leave the oil on for at least 30 minutes or overnight if possible, then wash your hair as usual. Regular scalp massages with lavender oil can help strengthen your hair roots, reduce hair fall, and encourage the growth of healthy, luscious locks.
Conditioning hair rinse
Revitalize your hair and add shine with a lavender-infused hair rinse. To make the rinse, soak a cup of boiling water with a handful of fresh or dried lavender flowers. Allow the mixture to cool before straining it and using it as a last rinse after shampooing your hair. The natural components of lavender help condition the hair, making it silky, smooth, and manageable. Furthermore, the soothing and pleasant fragrance of lavender gives you a calming and enjoyable experience during your hair care routine.
Nature’s Olaplex mask
Did you know that coconut oil is often also called nature’s Olaplex? That’s because it’s the only oil that actually has the ability to penetrate our hair strands and help repair damage. Adding a few drops of lavender to the mix and you’ll end up with a hair treatment that’s not only restorative, but also smells amazing. Apply the mixture to your hair, focusing on the ends and any damaged areas. Leave the treatment on for 30 minutes to an hour before rinsing thoroughly and shampooing as usual.
Anti-dandruff hair tea
Dandruff is a widespread and chronic hair problem, but lavender and rosemary herbal hair tea can effectively combat it. Steep a tablespoon of dried lavender flowers and rosemary leaves in a cup of boiling water for 15-20 minutes. Allow the tea to cool before straining it and using it as a final rinse after washing your hair. Both lavender and rosemary have antibacterial and antifungal qualities that can aid in the reduction of dandruff and the relief of itchy scalp. Regular use of this herbal hair tea may promote a healthier scalp.
Lavender pillow mist
While not immediately connected to hair care, getting enough sleep is essential for general hair health. Lavender’s soothing qualities make it a perfect match to a DIY pillow mist. Add a few drops of lavender essential oil to a spray bottle of water. Shake well and spritz your pillow and bedding before going to bed. Lavender’s relaxing scent can help you unwind, increase relaxation, and improve the quality of your sleep.
