Herbal hair oil

We have read and experienced many benefits of many herbs and oils  for good overall hair growth.

I had been making my own hair oil mix since a year now...So why not share the recipe with everyone now.

Ingredients :

Coconut hair oil : 200 ml
Castor oil : 50 ml
Almond oil : 50 ml
Olive oil : 50 ml
Vitamin E capsule : 4 nos.
Onion : 1 medium sized
Soaked fenugreek seeds (methi)  : 2 tsp
Curry leaves : handful
Aloe vera gel : 1 small cup
Amla powder /fresh amla : 2 tsps
Henna powder / fresh henna leaves : 2 tsp
Hibiscus flowers (fresh/dried)  : 20 nos.

Method :

Pour 150 ml coconut oil in a wok and heat.

 In the meanwhile grind curry leaves,  methi seeds,  onion, amla( if using fresh),  henna ( if using fresh)  to a coarse paste.
Add this ground paste to oil and let it boil till all the water in the paste has dried well. Then add hibiscus,  aloe vera and boil.
Add amla powder and henna powder in a muslin cloth and fold and make a Pouch. Add this Pouch to the oil and boil more.

Then cool the oil for a whole night.

Take a glass bottle ( well dried)  keep a muslin cloth on the mouth and secure it tight using clips. Then pour the oil from the wok little by little till all the oil gets filtered..

Squeeze the muslin cloth at the end to extract all the oil.

Now add all the other ingredients- 50 ml coconut oil,  olive oil, almond oil, castor oil, vitamin E capsules and give a nice  mix.

Now the homemade coconut oil is ready and it has a nice herbal aroma..

This oil will be enough for around 1 person for 5 months.
