Lucknow : If you’re battling hair fall and dull, lifeless strands, the solution might just be growing in your backyard—mango leaves. While most associate the mango tree with its delicious fruit, few know that its leaves are packed with powerful nutrients that can breathe life back into tired tresses.
Rich in vitamins A, C, B-complex, and antioxidants, mango leaves help strengthen hair roots, reduce breakage, and restore natural shine. Experts now suggest including mango leaf treatments in hair care routines for natural and lasting results.
Here are three simple, effective ways to use mango leaves for hair care:
1. Mango Leaf Hair Mask
Ingredients:
-
10–15 fresh mango leaves
-
Water
-
1 tsp coconut or olive oil (optional)
Method:
Wash the leaves thoroughly and blend them with a little water to form a thick paste. Add oil if desired. Apply the mask from roots to tips, leave it on for 30–45 minutes, then rinse with mild shampoo. Use once or twice a week for visible results.
2. Mango Leaf Hair Rinse
Ingredients:
-
15–20 fresh mango leaves
-
2–3 cups water
Method:
Boil the leaves in water until the color changes and the water reduces slightly. Let it cool, strain, and use it as a final hair rinse after shampooing. Don’t rinse it off—this helps strengthen roots and adds a natural shine.
3. Mango Leaf-Infused Hair Oil
Ingredients:
-
Dried mango leaves (sun-dried)
-
Coconut or olive oil
Method:
Crush the dried leaves and heat them with oil in a pan. Simmer until the leaves darken and infuse into the oil. Cool and strain the mixture, then store it in a bottle. Massage the oil into your scalp 2–3 times a week.
With regular use, mango leaves can help tackle hair fall, improve scalp health, and revive natural hair texture—making them a summer essential for holistic hair care.
