Three natural recipes to reduce unwanted hair growth
Garlic and coconut oil: the forgotten ritual for weakening hair
An oriental maceration that acts at the root
While garlic is best known for its medicinal properties, some Eastern traditions also credit it with weakening hair . Combining it with coconut oil creates a blend that penetrates deep into the skin and acts directly on the hair follicle.
How to do it:
- Crush 2 to 3 cloves of fresh garlic into a paste.
- Mix with 1 tablespoon of warm coconut oil.
- Leave to macerate for 1 hour, then filter.
- Apply the garlic scented oil to the affected areas every evening.
- Leave on for 30 minutes, then rinse with a mild soap.
Why it works:
The allicin in garlic has a mild keratolytic effect, which weakens the hair follicles over time . Coconut oil, on the other hand, facilitates the penetration of active ingredients while soothing the skin. With regular use, hair becomes visibly thinner.
Turmeric and milk: the ritual from India
An ancestral paste that slows regrowth
Turmeric, the star spice, isn’t just used to spice up dishes. In Indian culture, it’s used to purify the skin and slow hair growth. Combined with milk, it becomes a natural treatment that’s both soothing and brightening.
How to do it:
- Mix 1 tablespoon of turmeric powder with a little milk to make a thick paste.
- Apply to the areas to be treated (even the most sensitive).
- Let dry for 15 to 20 minutes .
- Rub gently with a damp glove , using circular motions.
