The well-kept secret of guava leaves
Guava leaves are little known in our hair routine, but they are still full of treasures for our hair. They have been used in traditional medicine for centuries and are rich in antioxidants, flavonoids, vitamins B and C… An ideal cocktail to nourish the scalp and promote melanin production in a natural way. And more melanin means a gradual return to a darker shade!
How to use them at home?
You don’t need to run to the pharmacy or invest in expensive care. A simple homemade rinse is enough to enjoy the benefits of guava leaves. Here’s the recipe:
Ingredients:
- A handful of fresh guava leaves
- 1 liter of water

Use:
After a mild shampoo, apply the liquid to your hair and gently massage the scalp. Leave on for 30 to 40 minutes and then rinse with clean water. Repeat this 2-3 times a week.
Bonus tip: the winning duo with coconut oil
For an even more nourishing effect, mix the guava leaf infusion with slightly warm coconut oil. This duo deeply moisturizes, strengthens brittle hair, and also helps reduce dandruff. Apply in the same way and enjoy a complete and 100% natural treatment.
When can we expect results?
Patience and consistency are the key words. With regular use, the first effects are visible after 4 to 6 weeks: thicker, shinier hair and white streaks that seem to gradually darken. A gradual but real change that can be appreciated over time.
