During summer, the hair tends to get very dry and splits. The leaves of carrot are excellent conditioners for the hair.
- Cut some handful of carrot leaves into small pieces and adding some til or sesame oil, grind it into a smooth paste. Apply this paste on the head and leave it for 10 minutes. Then wash/rinse the hair with green gram powder. Hair-splitting will stop and will become a homogenous glowing bundle.
- The carrot leaves & sesame oil combination can be made as a lotion. Heat half kg of sesame oil in medium flame for some time. Add 2 spoons of fenugreek seeds, quarter spoon of pepper, and the chopped carrot leaves. When the aroma starts from the oil, switch off the stove. Allow it to cool and then filter and keep in a bottle.
- You can apply this weekly twice on the hair and after 10 minutes, wash with ‘shikakai’ (Acacia Concinna) or shampoo.
- The hair will tend to become darker and also, falling of hair will stop. This lotion can be applied on eyelashes & eyebrows for denser growth.
