Curry leaves oil for extreme hair growth
Homemade curry leaf hair oil is a popular remedy in traditional Indian hair care for promoting hair growth and reducing hair loss. Curry leaves are rich in antioxidants and nutrients that can nourish the scalp and hair follicles. Here’s how you can make your own curry leaf hair oil:
Ingredients:
- Fresh curry leaves: A handful (about 20-25 leaves)
- Coconut oil or any other carrier oil like olive oil or almond oil: 1/2 to 1 cup, depending on your hair length and thickness
Instructions:
- Wash the curry leaves thoroughly and allow them to dry completely. Moisture can cause the oil to splatter when heated.
- In a pan or a small pot, heat the chosen carrier oil over low to medium heat.
- Add the dried curry leaves to the oil and let them simmer for about 5-7 minutes. The leaves should become crisp and start to change color, but be careful not to burn them.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let the oil cool down to room temperature.
- Once the oil is cool, strain out the curry leaves and transfer the infused oil to a clean, airtight container or a glass bottle.
- You can store this oil in a cool, dark place. It’s best to use it within a few weeks to a month.
How to use curry leaf hair oil:
- Before applying, warm the oil slightly. You can do this by placing the bottle in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes.
- Part your hair and apply the oil directly to your scalp, massaging it gently in circular motions. Make sure to cover your entire scalp.
- After you’ve applied the oil to your scalp, work it through the length of your hair, especially focusing on the tips.
- Leave the oil on for at least an hour or overnight for the best results.
- Shampoo and condition your hair as usual to remove the oil. You may need to shampoo your hair twice to ensure all the oil is washed out.
Repeat this process 1-2 times a week for the best results. Over time, regular use of curry leaf hair oil may help strengthen your hair, reduce hair fall, and promote hair growth. However, it’s important to remember that individual results may vary, and it’s not a guaranteed solution for all hair-related issues. If you have any concerns about your hair or scalp health, consider consulting a healthcare professional or a dermatologist.
