How to use Lalo (Baobab leaf powder)?

Want to use this amazing powder but feeling a bit lost? We'll explain why you should incorporate Lalo into your beauty routine and how to use it.

Things to know before you begin: There is a distinction between Baobab powder and Baobab leaf powder. The latter is also called Lalo in Wolof (Senegalese dialect). Baobab powder is obtained from the fruit of the Baobab tree, while Lalo powder is obtained from the leaves of the Baobab tree. Baobab powder is white, and Lalo powder is green.

Used in Senegal as a binder in cooking, it is appreciated for its gelling texture.

The properties of lalo

Lalo is a powder rich in benefits...and vitamins such as vitamin C. It also contains many nutrients such as calcium and zinc, among others, and amino acids. Calcium is known to aid growth; used in hair care, it promotes the development and health of the hair fiber. Minerals such as iron help repair and strengthen the hair deep down. Zinc has a purifying effect on acne and pimples.

Lalo powder can be used by everyone, but it is especially recommended if you have dry skin and/or hair or curly or frizzy hair. Indeed, this powder will nourish skin and hair prone to dryness. In addition to filling this lack of nutrition, it will help maintain their hydration.

In hair care, lalo makes hair supple and makes it much easier to detangle. It will be your best friend if you have hair that tangles easily and needs to be detangled patiently and gently.

Baobab leaf powder is also known to help control frizz thanks to its fixing polysaccharides and to define curls by making them light and bouncy. It also has a sheathing effect on the hair fiber.

Finally, lalo is appreciated for its gel-like texture when diluted in water. In fact, we'll explain how to use it.
