India believes in using pure oil for hair care instead of serums or modern hair care products. And various herbal extracts were important with him, one of which is curry leaves. Apart from making the hair healthy, curry leaves are also believed to maintain the natural black color of the hair for a long time. But it can't be applied directly on hair, for this curry leaves have to be mixed with some oil. What kind of oil to use? How to ensure hair nutrition? Let's find out.
coconut oil
Many Bengalis already apply coconut oil on their hair and skin throughout the winter. The fatty acids in coconut oil penetrate the hair easily. As a result, it can be used to treat dry or damaged hair. Studies have shown that using coconut oil before and after shampooing reduces hair protein loss. If dried curry leaves are boiled in coconut oil for 10 minutes, the color of the oil turns green. It can be strained and applied to the hair.
Jojoba oil
Jojoba oil can be a good option if you prefer a lighter type of oil. If the scalp is oily, jojoba oil mixed with curry leaf extract can be applied to the hair. If jojoba oil drips, its quality is lost. So curry leaves can be dried in the sun, crushed by hand, and mixed with jojoba oil.
sesame oil
The use of sesame oil in Indian hair care is very old. A 'pre-wash oil treatment' can be made by mixing sesame oil with curry leaves. That is, after applying it well on the scalp and hair, keep it like that for a while, and then wash it with shampoo. It increases blood circulation in the scalp.
Almond oil
For those who find regular hair oils too heavy, almond oil is a lighter alternative. It can be mixed with curry leaves and used before washing hair. This mixture can be used especially in the care of dull hair and dry ends.
Amla Oil
If the hair is artificially dyed, its care should be combined with amla oil. Heat amla oil, add curry leaf extract to it. Once the oil is ready, it's best to bottle it and store it in a relatively dark place. Any oil should be massaged well into the scalp. Hair can be oiled and kept in a tight braid before a bath, or before going to bed at night.
