what about laurel oil?
ReplyDeleteare there more herbs that help in hair growth ?
and are there any that can get rid of and prevent split ends?
Lilia, there are no herbs that prevent split ends, the best way to prevent and minimize split ends is to keep hair moisturized and the only way to get rid of them is to cut them off. The best way to do this is use water and/or water based products and seal in that moisture using oils and butters.
ReplyDeleteAs for laurel oil, I have never heard of that, what are it's benefits?
And these are only the herbs I know of, plus Ayurvedic herbs, see my Ayurvedic posts that list those herbs and their benefits.
In my research, the trick to hair growth is honestly retention which requires a good moisturizing regimen with minimal stress on your hair. I love henna, it changed the state of my hair completely, but that is my experience.
HTH!
