Hair loss can stem from many causes such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes or chemical abuse.
However, according to Healthline, the use of guava leaves - a popular herb - can effectively support hair loss reduction and recovery of weak hair.
Guava leaves contain many powerful antioxidants such as quercetin, carotenoids and flavonoids.
These active ingredients help increase blood circulation in the scalp, provide nutrients that nourish hair follicles and stimulate new hair growth.
In addition, guava leaves also have natural antibacterial properties, helping to clean the scalp, reduce dandruff and fungus - factors that often cause hair loss.
The simplest way to use it is to boil guava leaf water to shampoo. Choose a handful of fresh guava leaves, rinse, and boil with 1 liter of water for 1520 minutes.
To cool down, wash and gently massage your scalp with this water for 1015 minutes, then rinse with clean water. Do it regularly 2-3 times/week to make hair noticeably strong after 1 month.
In addition, you can use guava leaf water as a hair spray: pour into a bottle, store coolly and spray directly on the hair roots every day.
Research in the International Journal of Trichology also recorded that guava leaf extract increased thickness and reduced hair loss in the group of users who tested it after 6 weeks of use.
Note: People with sensitive scalps should test a little on the small area to avoid irritation.
