Marshmallow Root in Natural Hair Care

September 30, 2011 by Dawn Michelle

This article contains sponsored links from my favorite brand Mountain Rose Herbs. I love their high quality organic/fair trade products, and am blown away by their commitment to zero waste.

I recently purchased organic marshmallow root from Mountain Rose Herbs to try out in different DIY hair products that I’ve created.  Marshmallow root extract is a popular ingredient in many hair conditioners for its amazing slippery texture for easy detangling as well as softening the hair.  It is high in plant protein that promotes healthy hair growth and shine while also soothing dry scalp and skin inflammation.

What you will need:

Purified water

Marshmallow root

Nylon or Strainer

Two glass jars

Tongs (if using nylon)

I prepare marshmallow root extract almost exactly as I do flaxseed gel except different proportions.  You can easily boil 2 tablespoons of marshmallow root in 2 cups of purified water until the mucilage is released, approximately 15 minutes.  Or you can simply steep the same amount of the herb in 1 1/2 cups of boiled water like you would make a tea.  If I do the latter, I prefer to steep overnight or longer in a glass jar sealed tightly.    Extract the gel by straining or using a nylon to filter the mucilage from the herb with tongs into a clean bowl or jar.  Boiling the herb will create a thicker consistency.

You can use the mucilage from marshmallow root to add more slip to a previous store bought conditioner or add to one of your own DIY recipes.  I added the marshmallow root extract to the DIY Green Tea Cleansing Hair Rinse.  I created the hair rinse as I usually do, then added the marshmallow root extract in a container mixing the ingredients together.  The application of the hair rinse felt much better to the touch, giving slip for detangling, and my hair felt even softer afterwards.

Marshmallow root extract can also be added to flaxseed gel for super curl definition or used in conjunction with aloe vera juice for conditioning and detangling straight and wavy hair.  The options are endless and I plan to continue trying new things out to share.  Let’s Talk Hair–Part 2 will be continued next week.  

Read Let’s Talk Hair–Part 1 to catch up if you haven’t already.  Have a beautiful weekend!

(General Note: Please research new herbs to ensure there is no conflict with pregnancy or medical conditions before using.)

    Dear Dawn Michelle,

    I’m in the process of buiding a herbal hair care regimen (I have nappy hair that loves acidic rinses/deep conditioners).
    So far, I’ve been using the method of putting the herbs in a coffee filter which I seal. I then put the little bag in a pot of water to boil.
    Would this method allow me to benefit from the properties of marshmallow root (mainly slip)? Or is it a must to go through the whole nylon + tongs process? I’m trying to keep things as simple as possible …Is it possible to boil the root and then strain it with a tea strainer?

    Also, would you say adding marshmallow root left your hair moisturised?

    Third: you’ve written in a previous post that you no longer deep condition weekly. Do you still seal your hair with a butter after a mid-week green tea rinse? Have you’ve been needing less heavy butter/oil over time?

    Forgive me for all the questions, I’m fascinated by your regimen…

      Hi Monique,

      Although I’ve never tried extracting marshmallow root extract this way, you could boil the herb then use a tea strainer to separate the herb from its extract. For a thicker extract which would give more slip to whatever product you are adding it to, boiling the herb on the stove will work better than steeping it like a tea. It just depends on your preferences.

      I do think that marshmallow root extract helps moisturize my hair. I first noticed a big difference in my no-poo hair method when using the Greek yogurt and apple cider vinegar conditioning treatment. Adding marshmallow root extract to the DIY Green Tea Cleansing Hair Rinse only improved the regimen further. The combination of the two works well for me.

      Now that the weather is changing I’ve only been doing the mid-week hair rinse when I really need to. I do continue to apply camellia oil to my hair daily and use the heavier leave-in mix to my hair on my wash day. I am constantly discovering new things with this regimen and will definitely be writing more about my no-poo experience.

      Best Wishes,
      Dawn Michelle

      Hi Chineze,
      I’ve been playing around with herbs because of their healing and medicinal properties. Although okra may be slimy I’d rather just eat it. Marshmallow root moisturizes and softens hair and is soothing to skin. Although it is a mucilage herb it is much more than just the texture that makes it so good in hair care products. There are other mucilage herbs such as slippery elm which is widely used in natural hair care as well. Enjoy your day and I’m so glad you are also benefiting from my simple hair care regimen!

      Hi Carla,
      I haven’t worked that much with slippery elm. It is another herb that I will probably try again in the future. I did use slippery elm powder one time last year with bentonite clay for a hair treatment. If you are interested in using slippery elm similar to how I use marshmallow root, I would use the dried herb and steep or boil it to release the mucilage. Hope that helps.

      Hi Monica,
      You can definitely use the marshmallow herbal extract in your flaxseed gel recipe as it will provide more benefits to your gel recipe. I have not bought the extract before so am not sure if it contains the exact same consistency of mucilage as when you boil the dried herb, but should have some as that is one of the characteristics of the herb. Please share your results when mixing it into your flaxseed gel.
      Best,

      Hi Anonymous, Marshmallow root is one of my favorite herbs to work with! I wrote a series called No More Chemical Hair Care which discusses my thoughts on natural hair care and also shares a lot of information on ingredients and recipe ideas. I mention how you can use herbs like marshmallow root in a DIY Herbal Cleanser in Part 2 of the series as well as for a leave-in in Part 3. Part 4 of the series discussed regimen building with natural and herbal ingredients. Hope this helps!

    Hello,
    I was tempted to buy a Flaxseed, Marshmallow, and Aloe Vera Gel online from a Homemade company. But when i read the ingredients, i figured i could make it myself. Exactly How, do i mix the flaxseed gel with the marshmallow gel. I get that i make the marshmallow gel just like the flaxseed, right? But can you tell me exactly how to make the Gel with flaxseeds and marshmallow? And how could i incorporate aloe vera into this mixture? I dont want it to spoil!thank you so mcuh. and i love your blog

      Hi Rye,
      I haven’t made a gel with flaxseeds, marshmallow root, and aloe together yet you can make see how to make flax gel here and play around with how much marshmallow root extract and aloe you’d like to incorporate into the mix. Whenever I’m making a beauty product I take notes on the ingredient amounts. You can tweak the recipe with each formulation. I’d keep the mix refrigerated and it should last up from 1-2 weeks.
      Best wishes!

    Hello,
    I’m looking into a more natural way of cleaning my hair, and I must say I have really enjoyed your site! Only, many of your recipes say, “this is great for curly hair,” and my hair is straight as a stick. I would like to know, can marshmallow, flax seed, and/or aloe vera gel be used as a natural replacement for hair spray? Like, to spray on top of my head, not just to tame flyaways, but to really hold them there. Something I can depend on. And if I did spray something like that on my hair, would I need to wash it out asap, like when I take down my hair?

    • Dawn Michelle says

      July 4, 2014 at 12:26 pm

      Hi Amy,

      Because my hair is tightly curly most of my recipes are definitely relating to my own experiences with natural hair care. I do hope that you can also find what works for you as well with the info here too. As for a hair spray aloe vera gel and the jelly extract from marshmallow root would work as great detanglers for your hair type. Flaxseed gel would provide more a conditioning hold but you may still like it for updos, flyaways, etc. and would keep your hair in place.

      You can easily try the flaxseed gel by purchasing a tiny but in a natural grocery in the bulk section and creating your own hair gel extremely inexpensively. It really takes trial and error and as you can see I have tried and shared a lot of natural beauty ideas myself. Take notes on what you try and the results to help you find what works for you. Because all of these natural stylers are chemical-free, you would only need to wash your hair after using if you did not like the results.

      Best wishes!

      Hi Tiffany,
      When you use the whole herb you must strain it after boiling it to separate the mucilage liquid from the herb. You can use a mesh strainer if you have one or pantyhose and tongs if you don’t. This is similar to making flaxseed gel. I hope this explains it better. 😉

    Thanks for sharing the recipe I have tried it and it works. I have always had problems detangling and this recipe is enough for one use for dense shoulder lenght 4c hair. This is really good at releasing matted shed hair. I have tried Hello Hydration and would have to use about half the bottle to detangle and my hair would feel stripped and rough afterwards. I have noticed that if I prepoo with coconut oil before using this detangler, it loses some of its slip. My hair hates coconut oil on its own, so take that into consideration. Based on my experience it best to use the recipe as is and not diluted, if your hair is very tangled. A more diluted solution would be good for mid week detangling or moisturising needs.

      Thank you so much for sharing this! Many times it is about finding the best technique when using a new product or DIY recipe to figure out how things work best for your hair. What you said about coconut oil for your hair is the trial and error process that I did for so long before I came across a regimen that worked for me. I’m still learning new things too. Wishing you the best of everything!

    Hi Dawn Michelle,

    I’m still not quite sure how to make the marshmallow root? Is the mucilage part of the two cups of liquid used to boil the root? Or, does it need to be separated from the root and the two cups of liquid used to boil the root? I tried the recipe twice and the liquid did not provide any slip for me. I see other people have raved about it, so I can only assume that I am doing something wrong. Would greatly appreciate some guidance on this as I need to create something that might give some slip to my creations. Thank you in advance!

      Hi Adbobe,
      The mucilage from marshmallow root should be produced after it has boiled in water and the water is strained from the root similarly as when making flaxseed gel. You can also use flaxseed gel for detangling/conditioning the hair as well though if marshmallow root does not provide as much slip as you need. Another option is mixing marshmallow root with flaxseeds to make the mucilage/gel. I have not done that myself but have seen videos where they have been boiled together. I hope this helps some.

      Hi Dj,
      You could mix the extract of marshmallow root with shea butter. Because this would contain water you would need to store the final product in the fridge and use up within a few weeks. You could freeze some to make the batch last longer. Otherwise you would need to use a preservative. I hope this helps some.

      Hi Shonnelle,
      Yes maintaining a protein/moisture balance in the hair is important. Too much protein makes your hair brittle and too much moisture makes the hair limp and overly elastic. How much you use something such as marshmallow root for your hair can be determined based on the current stare of your hair and what other products you are using. Many things are trial and error to find what works best for you.

      Hi Aysia,
      Marshmallow root releases a mucilage but it is not as thick as flaxseeds. You can try adding more marshmallow root to the amount if water to make it thicker as well as play around to see if you prefer using powdered marshmallow root when boiling it. If you use this herb in powder form make sure to strain it very well. Using a nylon for a final strain will help tremendously.

    I’d like to say I’m so excited I stumbled across your site. I’ve been searching for natural ways of hair growth and your DIY products are promising! I’m natural and so are my daughters. I’ve had a problem for years with the crown of my hair being nearly bald. Though it’s grown back in it’s patchy and so much thinner than the rest of my hair. I want so much to wear my natural out but I can’t. Do you have a solution that could help crown’s thin become thicker? I’m willing to try…

      Hi Melissa,
      I have two simple ideas that may help to thicken up the crown of your hair… black castor oil and fenugreek seeds. Applying black castor oil to thinning areas of the hair has been known to thicken the hair and fenugreek seeds have the ability to decrease shedding and promote hair growth. You can make a hair tea with the seeds and spritz your hair and scalp with the tea as a prepoo and or leave-in. There are many ways you can use fenugreek seeds for hair growth yet this is the easiest. Have you ever tried either of these?

For starters, fenugreek seeds are packed with protein for strengthening strands, mucilage for moisturizing and soothing the scalp while detangling the hair, and most importantly nicotinic acid which may minimize hair shedding while soothing scalp issues.  Fenugreek seeds are also anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal which is beneficial for soothing a dry irritated scalp as well as high in iron. 🍂

Friday mornings are my busiest mornings of the wee Friday mornings are my busiest mornings of the week.  I make muffins for Saturday’s breakfast (either corn bread, pumpkin, or banana bread muffins) to have with fruit, a big crockpot dinner for the weekend (beans & rice bowls, lentils and sweet potato stews, or a big veggie and red potato stew) to serve with bread, tortillas, grains, and/or salad depending on the dish, and I’m usually putting orders together to go out for @iamazuha today too.  All the while I’m also making other food for the day. 🍂🥧🍁

Friday’s are crazy because of the usual responsibilities, but mainly because I really want to relax a bit over the weekend.  Over this past year I’ve worked really hard to create systems to make working from home and being a homemaker easier.  Homemaking really is like running a small boutique bed and breakfast hotel.  It takes planning ahead, having a solid system, financial planning, commitment, and a lot of love.  I’ve been learning to really enjoy this process.

We could all use an IMMUNE BOOST right now.  Here’s a simple juice recipe that I make for just that.  I call it SPICY APPLE JUICE and my three (almost four) year old drinks it up no problem! 🍎 

I simply juice 2 WHOLE medium/large APPLES (3 small apples pictured) + 3 CLOVES of GARLIC in a slow masticating juicer for one immune boosting serving.  Yes I do include the core as it has many health benefits. 🍎 

After having my 1st official winter back on the east coast last year, RAW GARLIC was how I made it through without getting sick at all while caring for sick family members. 🍎 

Since then I juice garlic in many of my juice recipes or mince up multiple cloves as dinner toppings for chickpea pasta, beans and rice bowls, and stews.  What I LOVE most of all is hearing my son say, “More Juice?” Proud Mama!!!! 🍎
