Holy basil for strong, long, and luscious hair

If you're seeking a natural haircare solution, consider the holy and healing powers of the Tulsi plant, as it has the potential to transform your haircare routine. We constantly look for hassle-free solutions, and Tulsi is precisely the addition you need to your haircare regime. Mixing the leaves of the Tulsi plant with different oils or using them to create a mask can help you stop hair fall and strengthen hair roots as well. Let’s take a look at some ways you can incorporate this medicinal plant into your beauty routine.

Tulsi and rice flour scrub: To control oily scalp

To control oil production and eliminate buildup in your scalp, start by blending one tablespoon of Tulsi powder and one tablespoon of rice flour with two tablespoons of rose water. After creating a thick paste, apply the formula on your scalp for 5 minutes, followed by a treatment time of 10 minutes. Now, rinse your hair with water after the treatment, and follow this process twice a week.

Tulsi and fenugreek hair mask: To strengthen your hair

To strengthen your hair strands and reduce hair fall issues, you need to soak two tablespoons of seeds in water overnight and grind them up with some Tulsi leaves the following morning. Next, add one tablespoon of curd and create a paste. Apply this paste on your scalp and leave it for 30 minutes before washing off the tresses with a mild shampoo.

Tulsi and aloe vera hair mask: To control dandruff

If you’re dealing with an itchy scalp and wish to get rid of dandruff, then crush 10-15 leaves of Tulsi and add one tablespoon of fresh aloe vera gel. Apply this fine, easy-to-make paste evenly on your scalp, and after 30 minutes, wash your hair with lukewarm water and a mild shampoo. Add a conditioner to get the soft effect and enjoy luscious strands with a clean scalp.

Tulsi and onion juice: For hairgrowth

Take 10-20 Tulsi leaves and create a thick paste by adding tablespoons of fresh onion juice and then apply it on your bald patches. Focus more on thinning areas and then wait for 30 minutes. Wash your tresses with mild shampoo afterward and trust this process for 2-3 months to see the change. The sulfur present in onion juice blended with the antioxidant properties of Tulsi helps in the regrowth of hair and also reduces hair fall issues as well.

Tulsi and neem hair mask: For itchy scalp

To control your dandruff and protect your hair from bacteria, fungus, redness, or an itchy scalp, make a paste of Tulsi and Neem leaves and add one tablespoon of lemon juice. Apply it carefully on your scalp and rub it for 5 minutes. Leave it for another 15 minutes and then rinse off with lukewarm water. Always pick fresh Tulsi and neem leaves for better results, and follow this process twice a week.
