Ingredients
- A handful of fresh papaya leaves (5–7 mature leaves)
- 1 cup of water (for boiling)
- Optional: 1 tbsp coconut oil or castor oil (for added nourishment)
Instructions
- Wash the papaya leaves thoroughly to remove dirt and dust.
- Chop the leaves into smaller pieces.
- In a pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil and add the chopped papaya leaves.
- Let the leaves simmer on low heat for about 10–15 minutes, until the water reduces and the color turns dark green.
- Strain the liquid and let it cool.
- Optionally, mix in 1 tbsp of coconut oil or castor oil to enhance moisturizing and conditioning properties.
- Apply the cooled extract directly to your scalp and hair, massaging gently for a few minutes.
- Leave it on for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. For deeper absorption, you may leave it overnight (use a shower cap or towel to protect pillows).
- Rinse off with lukewarm water and mild shampoo if needed.
Use 2–3 times per week for best results.
⚠️ Important Notes:
- Always do a patch test before applying to the scalp to check for allergic reactions.
- This remedy is not a guaranteed or instant solution for turning white hair black or for overnight hair growth, but it may nourish your scalp and promote healthier hair over time.
