WHY use this DIY hair mask?
In this post of – Bhringraj, I have thoroughly explained why, how, and when to use Bhringraj. Along with the options of the best Bhringraj hair oils available in the market.
To summarize, Bhringraj or Eclipta alba/prostrata which is also known as false daisy, commonly called by white(shweta Bhringraj) to yellowish(peet Bhringraj) flowering plant is beneficial to remove dandruff, prevent premature greying of hairs and baldness.
On the other hand, Indian gooseberry or Amla is a rich source of amino acid, phytonutrients, and vitamin C which in return increases antioxidants in your body.
It strengthens hair follicles and considerably reduces hair thinning, prevents hair fall, and increases hair growth.
When Amla penetrates into hair follicles it provides extra shine, voluminous and softer hairs.
Amla also has anti-viral and anti-fungal properties that fight fungal infections improving the scalp condition by removing build-up and impurities out of the scalp.
Amla is plucked from the Amalaki plant which is also considered as an ‘elixir for hair’. The nourishing properties as mentioned in Amla can be helpful in many DIY hair masks like this one.
By adding amla in this super amazing hair mask, you may prevent yourself from premature greying, (Along this eat raw amla to treat improper nutrition that results in premature greying of hairs)
Brahmi is known to reduce hair fall for ages now, it deeply nourishes the roots of hairs and promotes hair growth. It is also known as Bacopa monieri or the ‘herb of grace’.
It thicken the width of hairs, providing strength to the hair follicles. Thus preventing excessive hair fall.
Brahmi contains alkaloids and triterpenoids that are believed to activate the proteins in hairs that trigger hair growth. Triterpenes influence collagen synthesis which heals the wound and strengthens hair follicles by supplying blood through the weakened veins.
It is also rich source of Flavonoids, Saponins, Sterols, Betulic acid, Beta-stiosterol, Stimastorol and Bacopa-saponins.
The anti oxidant property in Brahmi rejuvenates the scalp, reduces itchiness, flakes and dryness in the scalp as well as hairs.
Rice water beautifies the hairs, the inositol present in rice water penetrates into damaged hair and repairs it. To make rice water, all your need is two ingredients:
- 1 cup rice
- 2 cup water
Slightly wash rice to remove any impurities with water, strain it and add 2 cups of water into the rice in a bowl.
Wait until the water becomes cloudy, it usually takes at least 30 minutes. Strain the rice and use it later to cook it up (why waste?).
Now, close the lid and let the rice water sit at room temperature for 12 hours to get it fermented.
Coconut oil is the one oil that can be found in every household or used once in a lifetime. It is made of medium-chain fatty acid which is also known as lauric acid. It moisturizes and protects hair from protein loss, UV rays and provides protection from damage.
For this hair mask, it is advisable to leave for at least 1 hour to let the formulation work on your hairs and rinse with mild shampoo.
