This whole process will take about 50 minutes to 1 hour to finish.
Once the ingredients settle to the bottom and the oil becomes clear, the oil is ready.
The oil would be dark green in colour.Let it cool down completely before straining it.
Store the oil in a clean glass container.
How To Apply
Take the required amount of oil in a bowl.
Warm the oil for about 15 – 20 seconds. It should be warm to touch not hot.
Apply the oil to your scalp using your fingertips.

Flipping your hair and massaging, both ensures better blood circulation to the scalp.
Massage for about 10 minutes.
After that, Leave the oil for at least an hour before shampooing.
You can leave it overnight too.
How Often Should I Oil My Hair?
Once a week is enough.
You can oil your hair twice a week maximum.
Is Oiling Your Hair Everyday Bad?
Yes it is. It could lead to hair fall.
Which Oil Is Good For Growing Hair Faster?
Castor Oil, Coconut Oil, Olive Oil, Argan Oil
Castor oil cannot be used alone as it is too thick and hence has to be diluted with other oils before use.
My Experience
I have used this particular combination of oils as it is what works best for my hair. You can replace the oil blend with coconut oil or sesame oil if that works for you.
I get a headache if i leave coconut oil for more that two hours on my scalp so leaving it overnight is a complete no-no.
Since i started using this oil, my hair fall has reduced drastically and it does not give me a headache even if i leave it overnight.
Note that, this oil is very concentrated so you can increase the oils used to maybe 400 ml or even to 2 cups.
As i said earlier, this ratio is what works the best for me. I found the correct ratio after making the oil for many years.
Previously, i did make this exact recipe with coconut oil alone.
The oil itself was fine as it left my hair soft, moisturised and shiny after shampooing and conditioning. But i did get headache’s, my eyes become watery/Burning after an hour of applying the oil and i get a chill sometimes. So the proportion was just not right for me.
That’s it for today guys.
You have learned how to make homemade hair oil for hair growth and thickness. Next time i will show you how to make a homemade hair oil for grey hair or at least to prevent premature greying.
Until Then, Good Day To You.
