How to Prepare Your Herbal Hair Oil

Step 1: Heat the Carrier Oils

Use 1 cup of coconut oil as the base and ¼ cup each of almond oil, castor oil, and olive oil in a pan. The oils must be warmed on low heat to prevent the loss of nutrients.

Step 2: Infuse the Herbs

Add 2 tablespoons of dried rosemary leaves, 1 tablespoon of fenugreek seeds, a handful of neem leaves, and 2 hibiscus flowers to the warm oil.

Stir softly and allow it to simmer for 15-20 minutes, during which the herbs will have given all their essence into the oil.

Step 3: Add Essential Oils

Turn off the stove, and allow the oil to cool a little.
Add 5-6 drops of Tea tree Oil and 5-6 drops of Rosemary Oil to add more nourishment to the scalp.

Step 4: Strain & Store

• Strain the oil by taking a fine mesh or cheese cloth.
• Pour into a glass bottle and store it in a cool, dark place.
• How to Apply Herbal Hair Oil for Best Effect
• Heat the oil slightly before applying on scalp.
• Massage very lightly for 5-10 minutes to activate blood circulation.

Apply overnight or minimum of one hour to penetrate deep inside hair follicles.
Rinse with a sulfate-free mild shampoo. Allow your hair to dry using air-drying. Apply twice weekly to achieve maximum result.
