For hair growth
Give your hair a dose of vitamin E with powdered moringa leaves.
Ingredients:
2 tbsp moringa powder/paste
2 tbsp almond oil
1 tbsp aloe vera gel
Procedure:
Opt for an organic powder or make your own by plucking out fresh leaves. Wash them well and place them inside a blender. Pick a bowl and combine all the above-mentioned ingredients to make a paste. Use your fingertips to spread the mixture on your scalp and massage well. Do not coat the hair mask on your strands. Let your hair absorb it for 30 minutes before rinsing.
For shine & nourishment
Powdered with a potent protein like behenic acid that aids in enhancing the natural sheen of your hair.

Heat the ghee in low flame, turn off the stove and let it cool down a bit. Make a hair mask by mixing all the ingredients. Smear the mixture on your hair. You can apply it to your scalp if you have excess paste left. Keep it on for 30 minutes before rinsing.
For damage-free hair
Ingredients:
3 tbsp moringa powder
2 tbsp mashed banana
1 tbsp olive oil
