Marigold (Calendula) is known for its incredible healing properties for health, hair, and skin since 11th or 12th century. Fresh calendula cools down the redness and itching on the inflamed scalp. It boosts collagen production that keeps follicles healthy and thick.
It also helps to curb out the fungal and bacterial infections caused due to balding. The polysaccharides contained in it mainly help in HIV related hair loss. When you apply calendula oil daily on locks, it keeps them well nourished and stops dandruff.
