Bay leaf for hair
Bay leaf can be professionally called the philosopher’s stone for your hair. Its compounds and properties have a beneficial effect on both your scalp and hair. Firstly, you can use it as a natural conditioner as it does not contain any fats, so your hair will not be greasy. But the high content of antioxidants and vitamins will perfectly smooth your hair and give it an irreplaceable shine. Thanks to it, your hair will also be easier to comb and you won’t have to think about split ends at all.
Since the bay leaf has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties, the scalp will also be taken care of. These properties help fight scalp conditions caused by fungal and bacterial growth. At the same time, bay leaf compounds help balance the natural oils produced by your scalp. This will prevent the condition of excessive dryness and oiliness. So you can say “goodbye” to the magpies as well. At the same time, you can also say goodbye to lice and nits, as the bay leaf drives them away one hundred percent.
Hair loss
If you have a problem with hair loss, you don’t have to have it anymore. Yes, the bay leaf can do that too. Hair falls out for a variety of reasons, but the most common ones are exposure to air pollution and the use of various hair styling products. This weakens the hair follicles, which subsequently causes the hair to fall out. However, bay leaves contain vitamins A and C, which are very strong antioxidants. They therefore fight against free radicals that cause hair loss.
