How to Use Moringa Powder for Hair Growth

There are a few ways you can use moringa powder as part of your hair care routine:

Hair Mask Treatment

For an intensive hair mask, combine moringa with other rejuvenating ingredients:

  • Mix 2 tablespoons moringa powder with 1 egg yolk, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel.
  • Apply the mask to damp hair and scalp. Let sit for 30-60 minutes.
  • Rinse thoroughly and shampoo as normal.
  • Use once a week.

Scalp Massage

Massaging moringa powder into the scalp stimulates circulation for optimal follicle nourishment. To use:

  • Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons moringa powder directly onto your dry scalp.
  • Gently massage it in using small circular motions, concentrating on thinning areas.
  • Leave on for 30 minutes prior to shampooing.
  • Use 2-3 times per week.

Moringa Tea Rinse

Brew moringa tea and use as a nourishing final rinse after shampooing. Let sit 1-2 minutes before rinsing out.

Oral Supplement

Take moringa powder orally in capsule, powder, or tea form to nourish hair from within.
