Make sure you clean your hair first before using the guava leaf solution. You can use shampoo first and then let your hair dry before application. To make it easier, you can part your hair into sections while applying the liquid to your hair. If desired, massage the scalp for about 10 minutes or more. Your hair should be all wet with guava leaf water, especially the roots and tips. You can rinse after two hours or you can leave it on your hair overnight.
