Rosemary oil is like the superhero of hair growth. It’s got this knack for boosting circulation, which means it’s sending all those good nutrients right to where your hair needs them most. Plus, it’s been shown to be just as effective as some fancy treatments out there. To make your own rosemary oil, you’ll need:

This trio is like the ultimate nourishment squad for your hair. Curry leaves are not just for seasoning; they’re a powerhouse of nutrients that can revitalize your hair from root to tip. They’re rich in antioxidants and proteins that strengthen the hair shafts and improve hair health. Moringa, often hailed as the ‘miracle tree,’ is brimming with vitamins and minerals that are fantastic for your hair. It’s known to fortify hair, combat dandruff, and support scalp health. Neem, with its impressive antifungal and antibacterial properties, keeps scalp issues at bay.
Diy Blend: Heat a cup of coconut oil and add a handful of curry leaves, a teaspoon each of moringa and neem powder. Wait until the leaves darken, then let the oil cool. Strain it and massage into your scalp twice a week.
And, watch your hair grow like weeds!
5. Fenugreek + Cloves ( it’s wild hair growth blend)
Fenugreek seeds are like the secret spice of hair care. They’re loaded with lecithin, which deeply conditions and strengthens your hair from the roots, reducing hair shedding. Cloves, on the other hand, are your hair growth stimulants. They improve blood circulation to the scalp, encouraging your hair to grow thicker and stronger.
How to Concoct it:
1. Soak fenugreek seeds overnight and grind them into a paste.
2. Add a few drops of clove oil and mix well. Apply this potent paste to your scalp, leave it on for about 20 minutes, then rinse off. It’s a spicy kick that your hair growth routine has been craving.
6. Herbal Hair Oil Blend
This is a blend that’s like a symphony of the best herbs for your hair. Rosemary, lavender, and peppermint oils are the lead players here, each with their unique benefits. Rosemary oil is known for its ability to improve hair thickness and growth. Lavender soothes the scalp and reduces stress, which can often lead to hair loss. Peppermint oil invigorates the scalp and can help to increase hair growth. When combined, these herbs create a melody that not only promotes hair growth but also improves hair health.
Diy Blend:
Mix equal parts of rosemary, lavender, and peppermint essential oils with a carrier oil like jojoba or almond oil. Add a pinch of fenugreek and kalonji seed powder for that extra boost. Apply this blend to your scalp and hair, and let it work its magic for a couple of hours before washing off. It’s like a herbal retreat for your hair, leaving it stronger, healthier, and ready to shine.
7. Bhringraj Oil
When it comes to hair care, Bhringraj oil is like the crown jewel. This ancient remedy, derived from the leaves of the Bhringraj plant, is a staple in Ayurvedic medicine and is revered for its remarkable ability to rejuvenate the hair and scalp. Rich in nutrients like iron, vitamin E, magnesium, polypeptides, and calcium, Bhringraj oil is a powerhouse of hair nutrition.
It’s like a multivitamin for your mane, offering everything from strength and vitality to a defense against stress and damage. Regular use of this oil can transform your hair, promoting healthier, thicker, and longer locks that are less prone to breakage and shedding.

8. Onion and Fenugreek Oil
Moving on to the dynamic duo of Onion and Fenugreek powder oil, this combination is nothing short of a superhero team for your hair. Onions, rich in sulfur, are known for their ability to promote collagen production, which in turn helps in the regeneration of hair. Fenugreek, on the other hand, is laden with proteins and nicotinic acid that nourish the hair follicles and encourage healthier hair growth. Together, they create an environment that’s not just conducive to hair growth but also combats hair loss effectively.
How to Diy: I love to use Grinded Feenugreek seeds for this Diy. Simmer 3 teaspoons of feenugreek into 2 Tablespoons of any carrier oil on low heat for 10 minutes. After that let the oil infuse in dry, cool area.
Then, just use fresh onion juice and mix it with this oil. And, massage to your scalp. Onion works best when it’s fresh.
How to Store These Oils?
1. Cool, Dark Place:
In order to increase the shelf life of the Diy Oils, You need to keep them in cupboards basically places that is away from direct sunlight. Sun exposure can make them go rancid soon and these oils will lose it’s magic.
Tip: Try to make smaller batches. So, that you can finish fast and don’t have worry about them going bad.
2. UV-Protected Glass:
If you’re feeling extra, find UV-protected glass containers. These shield your oils from harmful UV rays. It’s like giving your oils their own little invisibility cloak against the sun. Amber colored glass containers are the way to go!
3. Airtight Containers:
Air is like the pesky Peeves of hair oils – it can mess things up. So, grab some airtight containers. Glass bottles or jars with tight-fitting lids are ideal.
4. Chill, But Not Too Much:
Refrigerate your oils if you’re making big batches or live in a hot, tropical climate. Cold temperatures slow down oxidation and keep your oils fresher for longer. Just remember to label them so you don’t accidentally use them as salad dressing
5. Avoid Water:
Water is like the boggart of homemade hair oils – it can turn them into a mess. So, try to make your recipes without water. If you do use water-based ingredients (like hibiscus flowers), refrigerate the final product and use it up quickly.
