Turmeric, when freshly ground and filtered to remove impurities, fiber, and essential oils, yields a pure yellow powder. This powder, when dried, is a natural, light yellow pigment.
Curcumin, a compound found in turmeric, effectively exfoliates the scalp, reducing inflammation and inhibiting beta-growth activity. Turmeric also removes dirt, dandruff, and excess oil while nourishing the scalp and promoting hair growth.
Anti-Dandruff Treatment
Massage a mixture of turmeric powder and olive oil into the scalp, leave it on for 15 minutes, and then wash it off with a gentle, natural shampoo. This treatment improves scalp circulation and nourishes the hair follicles, effectively reducing dandruff. For best results, repeat this process twice a week.
Prevent Hair Loss
Curcumin in turmeric can inhibit beta-growth activity, which is a form of beta that causes hair follicle death and subsequent hair loss. To combat this, mix two teaspoons of turmeric powder with warm water and consume two glasses daily, 30 minutes before meals. Alternatively, mix turmeric powder with olive oil and apply it to your hair, leaving it on for about 20 minutes. For optimal results, repeat this process twice a week.
Treat Scalp Conditions
Turmeric is an effective treatment for various scalp conditions such as eczema and dermatitis, which cause itching, flaking, inflammation, and hair thinning. Combining turmeric with olive oil or coconut oil enhances its therapeutic properties.
Mix the ingredients into a homogeneous mixture. Shampoo your hair, apply the mixture, and gently massage it into your scalp. Leave it on for about 30 minutes, then rinse with warm water, grapefruit peel water, or soap nut water for optimal results.
This hair mask not only stimulates hair growth but also provides essential nutrients to the hair.
Natural Hair Dye
Turmeric powder is a natural hair dye that can be used to lighten hair color. The yellow pigment of turmeric can be combined with other yellow herbs and flowers such as saffron, calendula, and chamomile. Boil this mixture, and once cooled, pour it over your head. Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes, then rinse to reveal a vibrant, natural shade.
