Let’s find out!
How your Locs will Benefit from Lemongrass
Besides for adding an amazing scent to your hair, lemongrass will also add shine and sheen to your growing locs. But that’s not all!
Here are some ways your hair will benefit from lemongrass essential oil:
Fights off Dandruff- Lemongrass essential oil is famously used to cure dandruff because of its antifungal power. It also works as an anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antiviral, and anti-bacterial agent. Everything we need to keep dandruff at bay and away from our scalp and sprinkling into our locs.
Strengthens Hair and Hair Follicles- Its hair-strengthening properties strengthen the hair follicles ensuring that your locs appear shiny and healthy. It’s anti-inflammatory properties and high concentration of vitamins and minerals will keep the hair follicles in a healthy state - where not one, but several hair strands grow from.
Cleanses Hair- Lemongrass is also very effective when it comes to cleaning the hair and scalp. It helps remove any dirt, oil or bacteria that may be clogging the pores, so that your hair care products can work more effectively at nourishing and hydrating your hair.
Promotes hair growth- it can also work as a stimulant, promoting more circulation to the scalp and roots of the hair. With added circulation and less dirt and oil, your follicles are able to more freely produce more hair strands, which can help add volume to hair.
Controls oil production- its astringent and antiseptic properties help prevent the oil from building up on the scalp and clogging the pores. It promotes a healthy, balanced amount of sebum production so the hair doesn’t feel too dry, or too heavy around the roots.
