I had some Hibiscus petals and some Brahmi leaves leftover from my to trip the Indian market. So I decided to create a hair mask. Hibiscus petals are used moisturize & condition hair in Ayurveda.
Brahmi leaves or Gotu Kola are used to strengthen hair and reduce breakage. Why not mix the two together. I used about 1/2 8oz bag of each and threw it in the blender to grind, then mixed it with some Sweet Almond Oil. I didn't want to use an oil or butter that was too heavy. I wanted something that could rinse out easily.
I liked the result of this treatment, my hair felt moisturized with less breakage although using herbs is a bit messy. Also I co-washed 3X to rinse all the herbs and oils out of my hair. Prior to putting the herbs on my hair-I made sure my hair was slightly damp so the mask would be easier to apply. I also noticed that is mask was less drying than the Amla powder I used to use. Why not give it a try??
