Applying Moringa on hair
Moringa also aides healthy hair growth as it helps in keratin formation. While you could also use moringa oil – prepared from moringa seeds – or moringa pack directly on your hair, moringa powder can be easily applied on the hair as well in form of a paste or along with coconut oil.
You’ll need:
- Moringa powder
- Water
- Optionally, some coconut oil
How to prepare & use:
- Mix lukewarm water with a two tablespoons of moringa powder and make a paste.
- Apply the paste on your hair and leave it for 15-20 minutes.
- Wash it off with normal or cold water.
