Hair Benefits of Basil Leaves

Most commonly known as “Tulsi” in India, the basil plant is a leafy herb belonging to the mint family. Different varieties of basil are available in large or dwarf forms containing green, purple or variegated leaves. Some of the varieties of basil like Opal basil, lemon basil, anise basil, clove basil and cinnamon basil taste somewhat like their names.

This plant forms an important part of Indian culture. It is quite common in Hindu households where it is worshipped in the morning and evening. The leaves of this plant are edible and are used as flavoring agents due to their rich fragrance. Being one of the most popular herbs in the garden, it is extensively used in Italy in sauces and other dishes and is a key ingredient in Mediterranean food.

The Greek word for basil is ‘king’ which speaks highly of the qualities of this aromatic herb.  Basil plant, particularly the leaves, has great significance for mankind, not only because of its culinary uses but also due to its medicinal properties. Holy basil leaves have been widely used in Ayurveda since thousands of years. This herb is even mentioned in the “Charaka Samhita”, an ancient Ayurvedic text due to its excellent healing properties. In fact, basil leaves or tulsi leaves are considered as a universal cure for numerous diseases and promote longevity and overall well-being.

Basil leaves are equally beneficial for your hair and can help you get rid of a host of hair problems. The benefits of basil leaves for hair care are as follows.

Prevention of Hair Loss

Hair loss is a common problem which can occur due to itchiness and sweatiness of scalp. You can make a paste of basil leaves and add it to your hair oil. Applying this oil on your scalp will keep your scalp cool, reduce itchiness and promote hair growth by improving circulation in your scalp.

Treatment of Grey Hair

For this purpose, soak dried basil leaves powder and amla powder in water overnight and wash your hair with it after straining it the next morning. This prevents graying of hair as well as hair fall.

Strengthen the Hair Shaft

If you are suffering from brittle hair or hair thinning, you can consider basil leaves as they are effective in strengthening the hair shaft.

Rejuvenate Hair Follicles

Basil leaves help in rejuvenating and producing healthy hair by stimulating the hair follicles.

Prevention of Damage by Radiation

Basil leaves have antioxidant properties. They contain the flavonoids, orientin and vicenin that protect the chromosomes and cell structures from oxidation, thus preventing cell ageing and death and providing protection against radiation damage

How to Care for Your Gray African-American Hair Type

Many people are under the impression that Black hair has different elements than non-Black hair. Actually, the components of all hair types are essentially the same; it is in the way the elements of the hair are structured that result in the differences in texture. Often, the outer layer of the hair, called the cuticle, can be twice as thick for Black hair as it is for other types of hair. Black hair also tends to be drier because it is more difficult for the natural oil secretions to effectively penetrate the more tightly-curled hair. Gray hair is also in general, more resistant to coloring and chemical treatments than other hair colours.

Things You'll Need

Deep Conditioner

Shampoo especially designed for Grey hair

Hair colour especially designed for Hrey hair( if desired)

Hair oils, gels or pomade especially designed for black hair

Hot oil Treatment kit

Hair combs and brushes especially designed for black hair

Spray bottle for misting hair

Save scarf or pillowcase for protecting hair during sleep

Step 1

Decide whether you choose to wear your hair in a natural or relaxed style. Decide whether you will let your hair “go gray” or color it hair to conceal your gray. Select your hair care products based on your decision for hairstyle and color preference.

Step 2

Wash your hair no more than once a week, gently massaging your scalp. Carefully blot out excess water with a towel. Apply a leave-in deep conditioner.

Step 3

Have your hair professionally cut at least every six weeks. If desired, color your hair with a haircolor preparation made especially to cover gray. Use a hair moisturizing lotion, or Amaze shea butter-type oil daily.

Tips & Warnings

African-American hair tends to be more fragile than other types; therefore, take special care when combing and brushing your hair.

Using a special shampoo designed for graying hair will help alleviate a yellow tinge in your hair.

De-tangle your hair with upward instead of downward strokes.

Good nutritional habits will help to keep your gray hair healthy.

Gently mist your hair and scalp with a spray bottle in between shampooing especially if you sweat a lot or particular in sports and exercise.

Tie or cover your hair with a satin scarf or cap every night to protect it from excessive breakage.

If you decide to both chemically relax your hair and color it, relax it first.

Take care in the selection of a hair color when covering your gray hair; try not change your natural color no more than two shades lighter or darker.

Take particular cautions in keeping your gray hair moisturized with products specifically for Black hair types.

Gray hair in African-Americans tends to dry out and break off more easily; choose your hairstyle accordingly.

Cheers!

Amazing Frozen Lemons

Place the washed lemon in the freezer.

Once frozen, get your grater, & shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on top of your foods! 

On vegetables, salad, ice cream, soup, cereals, noodles, spaghetti sauce,

rice, sushi, fish dishes, ... the list is endless. 

All the foods will get an unexpected wonderful taste!

Most likely, you only think of lemon juice as vitamin C ??

Not anymore! What's the major advantage of using the whole lemon other than preventing waste & adding new taste to your dishes? 

Lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself & that's what you've been wasting! Lemon peels are health rejuvenators in eradicating toxic

elements in the body. 

The surprising benefits of lemon is the miraculous ability to kill cancer cells! It is 10,000 times stronger

than chemotherapy!! Why do we not know about that? 

Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits. 

You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. 

Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific

effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the multimillionaires large corporations? 

This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, 

it regulates blood pressure

& an antidepressant, combats stress & nervous disorders. 

The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug

manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970,the extracts revealed that It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers, including colon, breast, prostate, lung & pancreas... 

 Cheers!

CRYSTAL CROWN

This tall crown fashioned from clear crystals really gives off a regal vibe.

OLD WORLD STYLE

Gowns with lace detail work beautifully with these peach roses. Alternately, a strapless or one-sided gown would balance the flowers nicely as well.

SILKY SWAG

A large, silk bow adds flash and flair to your wedding day look!

Best Hairstyle and Hair Type:

This smooth and simple accessory works best with simple hairstyles such as this high bun. Choose a hairstyle with lots of height so that the hair supports the accessory and the bow doesn’t overpower your face.

Add a pop of color to your big day look with lovely orchids!

Best Hairstyle and Hair Type:

These larger flowers look best in a hairstyle that is full of volume and curls. Thick hair is best, but fine hair is okay too as long as there is a good base underneath so the flowers can be pinned securely.

Gown Style:

Pair these beauties with a strapless or one-shoulder dress. They will look great with both modern floral textures as well as simple, smooth dresses.

BOOM BOOM POW!

Pack a punch of style with this bold hair accessory!

Best Hairstyle and Hair Type:

Keep it super simple with your hair if you choose this accessory. It is loud and proud, so you don’t want your hair competing for attention. A large, clean bun worn high on the head is best and you can add extensions to get the bun as thick as the model’s in this photo.

Gown Style:

Strapless princess dresses that have gathered organza from the waist down will look fabulous with this hairpiece!

If you follow our style cues and from toes to tiara, everything will be just right on your special day. Smile big, laugh loud, and love lots with these stunning wedding hair pieces!
