If you’re experiencing this, there are some steps you can take to fix it. Try these at home remedies for curl fall.
Green tea:
The antioxidants in green tea as well as the caffeine can boost lagging curl growth. Brew 2 bags in hot water and allow to cool. Apply over the scalp, scrubbing in gently. Allow to sit for 60 minutes before rinsing away.
Aloe vera:
Squeeze or purchase fresh aloe vera gel or juice. The gel can be applied directly to the scalp and massaged in. As an added benefit, you can drink aloe vera juice a few times a week.
Avocado:
This green superfood is great for more than just your morning toast! Take a fresh avocado, a large egg, and half a cup of distilled water. Combine until a smooth mixture is created. Take the mixture and apply it from roots to tips in freshly washed curls. Cover and allow to sit for 30 minutes. Massage your scalp before rinsing out with cool water.
Carrot:
This orange vegetable is loaded with wonderful vitamins and minerals such vitamin B, biotin, and calcium. Make sure you’re consuming plenty of carrots to get the benefit from the outside in.
