how to apply bhringraj powder on hair - #25310

Emma

I am dealing with some major hair issues lately and thought maybe trying bhringraj powder could help. My sister swears by it, she says it’s worked wonders for her hair. I've got this constant frizz and thinning, it's so annoying! I bought some bhringraj powder but I honestly dont know how to apply bhringraj powder on hair properly. Do I just mix it with water? My friend told me to add oil too but I'm not sure which one to use. And like, do I need to let it sit for a while? She said something about a hair mask but I have no clue how long to keep it on and if I should do it on dry or wet hair. It feels like I'm overthinking it... am I? Also, can I apply bhringraj powder every week, or would that be too much? Sorry if this is a lot but I really wanna get it right and my hair desperately needs help! Any tips would be super appreciated!

Applying bhringraj powder to your hair can indeed be beneficial, and it’s great that you’re looking into it! Your instincts are correct—bhringraj is renowned in Ayurveda for its ability to support hair health, reduce frizz, and even aid with hair thinning. Here’s how you could go about applying it:

To start, mixing bhringraj powder with water is a solid plan. You can create a paste by adding some warm water to the powder until it reaches a consistency similar to yogurt. But since your friend mentioned oil, let’s get into that too. Coconut oil or sesame oil are both excellent choices for your hair’s health. If you’re leaning towards adding oil, mix about a tablespoon of warmed coconut or sesame oil into the bhringraj paste. This combination can be particularly nourishing and might help with frizz.

When you’re ready to apply, your timing depends on your hair’s condition. You can definitely apply on dry hair, but slightly damp hair might make application easier. Part your hair into sections and apply the paste generously onto your scalp and throughout your hair lengths. Once applied, let the mask sit for about 30 to 45 minutes. In Ayurveda, giving it some time allows the benefits of bhringraj to penetrate more deeply into your scalp and hair shafts. Afterward, rinse it off thoroughly with lukewarm water, followed by a mild shampoo if needed.

Regarding frequency, using bhringraj powder once a week is usually safe for most hair types and can help maintain the benefits without potentially drying out your scalp or hair. However, keep an eye on how your hair responds—since Ayurveda emphasizes balance, listen to what your body (or in this case, hair) tells you after each application.

Hopefully, these tips help you find less of a hassle with your hair woes. Getting into routine with it, and noticing any positive change in your hair could really make a difference! Happy hair days ahead!
