Introduction
Turmeric is a spice that’s often used in Indian cooking, but it also has some amazing properties for your hair. The active ingredient in turmeric is called curcumin, and it’s been studied extensively for its anti-inflammatory benefits. It’s believed that turmeric can help with several different types of inflammation—including the sort caused by psoriasis, eczema and rosacea—because it contains antioxidants that work against free radicals (which cause damage to skin cells). Turmeric oil is one way you can incorporate this beneficial ingredient into your beauty routine without having to eat foods with turmeric added to them (and who wants more food when they’re trying to lose weight?!).
The Benefits of Turmeric in Hair Care Products
Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It also provides a source of vitamin C, which helps to protect the skin by strengthening its barrier function. This means that it keeps moisture in the skin and prevents it from drying out.
Turmeric is also known to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by encouraging healthy cell turnover in your skin. The antioxidants found in turmeric help to improve circulation and stimulate collagen production, making your skin appear younger while reducing appearances of scars or acne spots (from sun damage).
What is Turmeric?
Turmeric is a native Indian plant that’s been used for centuries as a natural remedy for many ailments. It’s also known as “Indian saffron” and “Indian yellow root,” and is a member of the ginger family.
Turmeric Hair Oil Ingredients
This hair oil is a great for reducing the appearance of split ends, strengthening your hair, and promoting shine. You’ll need:
- Turmeric powder or turmeric roots (note that you can make a powdered form at home by drying fresh turmeric in the sun)
- Rosemary essential oil
- Lavender essential oil
- Avocado oil (make sure it’s organic!)
- Fractionated coconut oil
Rosemary
Rosemary is a small evergreen shrub with needle-like leaves and yellow flowers. It is native to Europe, but has also been cultivated in North America since colonial times. Rosemary has a strong, woody smell that is reminiscent of pine needles and mint. It’s often used as a seasoning for meat and vegetables, but it can also be used in teas, vinegars and infusions.
Rosemary contains several compounds that have antiseptic properties (some research suggests it could help treat dandruff), including rosmarinic acid which may help prevent hair loss by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. Research shows that rosemary oil applied topically on the scalp can be effective against infections such as seborrheic dermatitis too!
Lavender Essential Oil
Lavender essential oil is a very good oil for your hair. It not only smells wonderful, but it also has many health benefits. Lavender essential oil is a natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent, so it can help treat dandruff or dry scalp and relieve irritation on the skin. It is also a natural antifungal agent, which helps fight off any fungal infections in the hair follicles (which is why it works so well with turmeric). In addition to these benefits, lavender essential oil has been shown to have calming effects on the nervous system, making it perfect for those who suffer from anxiety or stress-related issues (especially if they experience nausea during stressful situations).
Avocado Oil
Avocado oil is a great moisturizer for the hair and scalp. It has vitamins E, B, D, and K. Vitamin E helps to protect your skin from free radicals, which are harmful byproducts of oxidation (such as air pollution). Vitamin K promotes blood clotting. Avocado oil is also an anti-inflammatory ingredient that can help with dandruff or even eczema if it’s applied topically before bedtime. It’s rich in antioxidants too—which work to prevent damage caused by free radicals—so you can say goodbye to those pesky split ends!

This means you can get rid of dandruff and other skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema and seborrheic dermatitis. The turmeric oil will also help to detoxify the scalp which will result in healthier hair growth.
