DIY Herbal Tea Tips for Hair Growth

We all know that herbal teas are wonderful for mindfulness. They are also very beneficial to take care of our health and immune system. But, do you know that these natural drinks can also make your hair beautiful? Here are some DIY herbal tea tips for hair growth that you can try:

How Does It Work?

Herbs are rich in nutrition. Some of them are beneficial for hair health. With sufficient nutrition, your hair will grow more and even stronger. They will be less prone to breakage, shedding, and even thinning. 

There are two ways to use your herbal tea for hair growth. First, you brew and drink it like your everyday tea. The nutrition will fix your hair from the inside, strengthening the roots while also caring for other things you have inside your body. The second way is by using it as a rinse. You pour the tea into your hair and let it soak in. 

For the best results, you need to drink your tea at least twice a day. Rinse your hair thoroughly with the tea after every shampoo and conditioner, and let it sit for 20-30 minutes before rinsing it out with water. Keep the routine every day for at least three months before you get a noticeable effect. 

Which Herbal Tea Should I Take?

Several herbs contain the nutrition your hair needs. You can choose either one, take them in turns, or even make a special blend for the best result. Here are your options:

  • Rooibos Tea

Also known as red tea, rooibos contains zinc, potassium, and calcium. Those all are what you need to strengthen your hair. The tea is also rich in copper and polyphenol. Copper can prevent greying, while polyphenol is the antioxidant to keep the hair soft and shiny. 

  • Jasmine Tea

In Asia, jasmine tea uses its leaves and petals combined. Packed with anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties, jasmine tea can act as a remedy for the flaky or irritated scalp by strengthening the roots. You can also use it as a hair moisturizer to get thicker and softer hair. 

  • Rosemary Tea

The ursolic acid contained in rosemary tea can increase your blood circulation, allowing the blood to deliver more oxygen and nutrients to your scalp. Vitamin B6 and iron also contribute to your hair strength. Rosemary tea can also unclog your follicles, preventing a stunted growth of your hair.

  • Sage

Since ancient times, sage has been a powerful remedy for hair loss and baldness, thanks to its beta-sitosterol properties. The tea also has natural compounds that could slightly darken your hair. Sage tea also contains astringents and antimicrobial properties that could heal your scalps from eczema, dermatitis, and dandruff.

These DIY herbal tea tips for hair growth also require some patience from you. Natural remedies don’t work as fast as factory-made products, but they give a more long-lasting benefit. They are also safer from side effects. And the bonus point is, your whole body and soul will get healthier too, instead of just your hair.
