How to use moringa* leaf powder
You can purchase moringa leaf powder online from places like Amazon, eBay or Znaturalfoods, depending on the quantity you want. Just make sure that it’s organic. You can use moringa leaf powder in two ways. I have personally consumed it in both forms, but I do prefer smoothies over tea.
In a smoothie, I like to use a nut or hemp milk with the moringa leaf (about 1/2 to 1 TB worth). I also mix other powders with it, like baobab, spirulina and seaweeds, which all help to provide high nutrition for hair health.
For tea, all you need to do is bring 8 oz of water to a boil and then pour in 1 tsp of moringa* leaf and set it to simmer. Allow it to do so for about 10 minutes, then add in your preferred sweetener and drink it. I personally like to either use date syrup, 100% maple syrup or coconut* sugar.
How to use moringa seed oil
The other option for using moringa is in oil form. The seed of the moringa plant is just as nutritious for your hair and scalp.
I’ve found testimonials all around the Web that swear by moringa seed oil and how it has helped to reverse hair loss, hair thinning and alopecia. I would highly recommend combining moringa seed oil with drinking moringa leaf powder.
Some use the concentrated moringa extract version, but whichever you decide to use, just make sure that the oil is organic, unrefined and cold pressed. This will ensure that it has all of its nutrients.
All you have to do is massage the oil into your entire scalp, especially the areas with balding. You can use it as a deep conditioning* treatment or just apply it daily to your scalp.
There’s really no wrong way to go with moringa oil*. Since it is able to cleanse well, you can apply it to your wet scalp then rinse it out and it will help to remove excess oils* and dirt. It will also leave your scalp moisturized.
I have used moringa oil* in my own and my daughter’s hair and love how it makes our curls look. So again, it is definitely a multi-purpose hair remedy, which leaves you with plenty of room for experimentation!

It seem like every few months there’s always a new dam oil out claiming to grow your hair
Pattie Armstead says
Some in the natural hair community are OBSESSED with long hair. SMH
BlackHairInformation.com says
You say that like its a bad thing 😉
Ab Ster says
It is a bad thing. Long hair is just a feature and it doses make you any better of a person. But ppl spend all that time and money to achieve it smh
Pattie Armstead says
If people would EAT most of the things you suggest they would be much healthier. It works from the inside out not outside in.
Safiya Elle says
Very true! That’s why in this article, I suggested that you drink the moringa as a smoothie or tea, as well as use the oil for your scalp.
Desiree Byrd says
Healthy hair growth doesn’t necessarily mean long hair…some people might be growing a twa..some a bob. Some people are OBSESSED with assumptions.
Pattie Armstead says
Ab Ab Ster I see naturals who need to cut their hair but they are trying to achieve this length and their hair is unhealthy.
Pattie Armstead says
I rarely see an article on twa…Everything is how to achieve long hair. Like I said if most people would consume/eat half of the things they at spitting in their hair they would be health and their hair will grow.
Desiree Byrd says
They post articles all the time how to achieve the perfect twa, cute cuts, and other short styles. And a lot of women are trying to grow back their edges or bald spots from braids.

Phoenix McGee says
