Homemade Hair Growth Oil: The Rosemary, Methi And Kalonji Blend Everyone's Talking About

Hair fall, thinning strands, and premature greying are concerns many people face today. While the beauty market is flooded with expensive serums and treatments, some still swear by age-old remedies passed down through generations. Wellness influencer Kiran Kukreja recently shared a homemade hair growth oil recipe that combines traditional ingredients known for supporting scalp health and stronger-looking hair.

The recipe uses a blend of nourishing oils and herbs that can be easily prepared at home and stored for months.

Natural Ingredients For Scalp Health:

The DIY hair oil is made using 200 ml coconut oil, 50 ml castor oil, fenugreek seeds (methi dana), kalonji, dried rosemary leaves, and fresh curry leaves.

Each ingredient is valued in traditional hair care practices. Coconut oil helps moisturise the scalp, while castor oil is often used to improve the appearance of thicker hair. Fenugreek seeds and curry leaves are popular ingredients in home remedies for hair health, while kalonji and rosemary are often associated with scalp nourishment and hair-strengthening rituals.

How To Prepare The Oil:

Making the oil requires just a few simple steps. Add the coconut oil, castor oil, fenugreek seeds, kalonji, dried rosemary leaves, and fresh curry leaves to a pan.

Allow the mixture to boil on a low flame for 15 to 20 minutes so the ingredients can infuse into the oil. Once done, let it cool completely before straining. Transfer the oil to a clean container and store it in a cool, dry place. According to Kiran Kukreja, the oil can be stored for up to two to three months when kept properly.

Benefits Of The Herbal Blend:

This traditional oil blend focuses on overall scalp care. Regular oil massages may help improve scalp hydration and make hair feel softer and more manageable. Many people also include ingredients like rosemary, curry leaves, and fenugreek in their hair care routine to support healthy-looking growth and reduce the appearance of dryness. Consistent scalp massage can also promote relaxation and improve blood circulation to the scalp.

How To Use It:

Apply a generous amount of the oil to your scalp and hair lengths. Massage gently using your fingertips and leave it on for a few hours or overnight before washing it off with a mild shampoo.

While results vary from person to person, this simple homemade oil can be an affordable addition to a regular hair care routine. For those looking to embrace traditional wellness practices, this herbal blend offers a natural way to care for their hair at home.
