Custom Made Hair Oil : DIY

Hello Gorgeous.

Many bloggers have written already many versions of this formula and many readers must be already aware of this mix. We mix carrier oils with few essential oils to get a very potent hair oil to address all the hair problems. We need to select certain carrier & essential oils that are specific to our hair problems like dryness, roughness & dullness of hair can be treated with Olive oil, Coconut oil or Almond oil. Similarly hair regrowth can be stimulated with castor oil. Essential oil such as Levander oil, Tea Tree oil, Neem oil etc are known to treat infection & dandruff while encouraging hair regrowth.

What You Will Need?

My hair problems are generally hair roughness/dullness/dryness with a lot of hair fall. This is my custom mix

• Carrier Oil : Almond Oil, Olive Oil, Coconut Oil & Catsor Oil.
• Essential Oil : Lavender Oil & Neem Oil. I also use Aroma Magic Hair Stimulate Oil for extra efficacy.
• Vitamin E Capsules or Vitamin E Oil.
• An empty, clean & dry glass/plastic bottle to store the mix.
• A measuring cup. You can use a simple cup if you don’t have a measuring cup. Just mark few levels on the cup.

Castor Oil is great for hair regrowth. I also use castor oil to lengthen and strengthen my eye lashes too. It is used in almost every hair regrowth herbal oil because of its efficacy to regrow hair unless hair follicles are dead.

Aroma Magic Hair Stimulate Oil is a mix of different essential oils that encourage hair growth. Will be doing a separate post on this too.

How To Prepare The Mix?

It is no rocket science to prepare the mix. Once you have gathered all the oils, and an empty bottle, start with a measuring cup. Depending upon your need, you need to figure out the quantity of every carrier oil. I took 50ml of each oil – Almond oil, Coconut oil, Olive oil & Castor Oil. Olive oil & Castor oil are little thick in consistency so my final mix turned out to be little heavy. If you want to keep the consistency little light, you can reduce the quantity of Castor & Olive Oil, like 20 ml of each while mixing 50ml of  Coconut & 50 ml of Almond oil.

If you are preparing this mix for the first time you can prepare it in small batch so that you can see yourself what consistency suits you.

The colour of the mix so obtained depends upon the type of the oils & the quantity of the oils taken. In case you omit Olive oil & Neem Oil, you will get a clear oil mix.

How To Use The Mix?

Prefer night time to apply this oil so that it stays on your hair all night long. Before applying this oil to your hair you can also place the bottle in warm water so that you can have that much relaxing hot oil champi. Try to section your hair and apply on the roots for better absorption. Massage with you finders applying light pressure until you feel the oil has been absorbed. You can also proceed with hot towel wraps for better oil absorption.

You do not have to gather every thing I have mentioned here. Analyse what your hair need and what is available with you. You can even prepare your hair oil mix with any carrier oil and an essential oil. It’s totally upto you hair needs.

Do you also use some oil mix for your hair? Care to share?

Love.
