Well,
My camera broke down and am no longer able to take any pics. :(
So, I am just going to list down the things that i put in my oil.
Hoping that the same helps.
My Coconut Hair oil recipe
1. Coconut Oil
* prevents protein loss in hair
* unlike most oils, it doesn't just sit on the outside of hair. It actually penetrates the shaft.
* because coconut oil is absorbed into the hair shaft, it is fairly easy to wash out.
2. Fenugreek seeds / Methi seeds
* Helps to prevent premature greying
* Induces a cooling effect to the body - note that this not any tingly kind of sensation usually got from menthol, it cools down the body
3. Rose Petals
* Rose petals tone and tighten the scalp with gentle astringent action. And of course, gives out a beautiful aroma.
4. Karisalankanni / Bhringraj / False Daisy
* prevents hair loss
5. Hibiscus leaves / Flowers
* is a natural shampoo plus conditioner.
6. Amla / gooseberry
* prevents greying
* induces sleep and helps in relaxing the body and mind
* Arrests hair loss
7. vembalam pattai
* prevents greying of hair.
* It turns the oil bright red and over time into a really rich thick maroon-ish oil.
8. Black cumin seeds
* provides lustre
* provides strength
9. Curry leaves
* prevents premature greying
10. vetti ver
* perfumes the oil, very calming.
Make sure that the leaves / flowers are semi dry.
Add all these to a bottle, preferably a glass bottle. Add Coconut oil till it stands just an inch above the quantity of the herbs added.
Leave it over night and start using for application on the scalp / ends or as desired.
Make a small batch - just to be used near to a month, till you understand how the oil works out for you.
Hope this helped.

ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting. :) :)
ReplyDelete@Vid :)
Do you stay in tamil nadu? If so , you could ask
for karisaankanni keerai to any keerai-kaari..
Or, ask about it in any elders near your building and they would know where to get it. Ask for bringraj flowers if you are staying in the north india.
*For vetti ver, you can get in any country medicine shop - this is optional - you can substitute this with essential oils..
@earthwalker & @Vid, for vembalam pattai , just enquire in any naatu marunthu kadai - they would have pleenty of hair care items..
If you would like to try out more, you could ask them simply to list out the hair care items and they would spell a dozen or more. Just ensure that you research before buying/applying them for hair as some may dry out the hair.
