To make an effective herbal oil for hair growth and to rejuvenate slow-growing or damaged hair, especially suited for conditions in Pakistan, here is a stepwise guide using locally available herbs and oils. These oils can be easily prepared at home by boiling them.
Ingredients:
- Coconut Oil (ناریل کا تیل) – 250 ml
- Olive Oil (زیتون کا تیل) – 100 ml
- Castor Oil (ارینڈی کا تیل) – 50 ml
- Amla (آملہ) – 2 tablespoons (dried or fresh)
- Fenugreek Seeds (میتھی دانہ) – 1 tablespoon
- Neem Leaves (نیم کے پتے) – 10-15 leaves
- Black Seeds (کالونجی) – 1 tablespoon
- Onion (پیاز) – 1 medium-sized (sliced)
- Garlic (لہسن) – 4-5 cloves
- Aloe Vera (کوار گندل) – 2 tablespoons (fresh gel)
- Hibiscus Flowers (گڑھل کے پھول) – 4-5 flowers (dried or fresh)
Stepwise Process to Make the Perfect Hair Growth Oil:
Step 1: Prepare the Base Oil
- Take coconut oil and olive oil in a pan or heavy-bottomed pot.
- Add castor oil to the mixture. Castor oil is thick and supports hair regrowth, while coconut and olive oils are lightweight and penetrating.
Step 2: Add Herbs for Hair Growth
- Amla: Known for nourishing hair roots and preventing hair fall, add 2 tablespoons of dried or fresh amla to the oil.
- Fenugreek Seeds (Methi): Boosts hair thickness and fights dandruff. Add 1 tablespoon of methi seeds.
- Neem Leaves: To combat scalp infections and promote growth, add 10-15 neem leaves.
- Black Seeds (Kalonji): Known for stimulating hair growth, add 1 tablespoon of kalonji.
Step 3: Add Onion and Garlic
- Onion and garlic are sulfur-rich ingredients that promote collagen production and boost hair growth.
- Add one sliced onion and 4-5 crushed garlic cloves to the oil.
Step 4: Add Moisturizing Agents
- Aloe Vera Gel: This soothes the scalp and adds moisture to the hair. Add 2 tablespoons of fresh aloe vera gel.
- Hibiscus Flowers: These flowers strengthen hair roots and add shine. Add 4-5 dried or fresh hibiscus flowers.
Step 5: Boil the Mixture
- Put the pan on low heat and slowly bring the mixture to a boil.
- Let it simmer for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. You will know it’s ready when the herbs and seeds start turning dark brown, and the oil gives off a strong aroma.
Step 6: Cool and Strain
- Once the oil has been infused and the color has darkened, remove it from the heat.
- Let the oil cool down to room temperature.
- Strain the oil through a fine sieve or muslin cloth into a clean, dry bottle.
Step 7: Storage and Application
- Store the oil in a dark, cool place to preserve its potency.
- Apply the oil to your scalp and hair roots twice a week. Massage it into your scalp for 5-10 minutes to improve blood circulation and absorption.
- Leave it on for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight before washing it off with a mild shampoo.
