DIY Hair Growth Serum

Ingredients:

1. Castor Oil – 2 tablespoons
2. Coconut Oil – 2 tablespoons

Optional:

• Essential oils (like rosemary or lavender) – a few drops (for fragrance and added benefits)

Instructions:

1. Mix the Oils:
   • In a small bowl or bottle, combine the castor oil and coconut oil. Mix them well until they are fully blended. The castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, which helps nourish the scalp and promote hair growth, while coconut oil deeply moisturizes and strengthens the hair.
2. Add Essential Oils (Optional):
   • If you’re using essential oils, add a few drops to the oil mixture. Rosemary oil can help stimulate hair growth, and lavender oil can add a soothing fragrance.
3. Application:
   • Before applying the mixture, ensure your hair is clean and dry. Section your hair into manageable parts.
   • Using your fingertips, gently massage the oil mixture into your scalp for about 5-10 minutes. This helps improve blood circulation to the scalp, which can stimulate hair growth.
   • Once you’ve massaged your scalp, work the oil through the length of your hair, focusing on the ends to prevent split ends and breakage.
4. Leave In:
   • Allow the oil to sit in your hair for at least 30 minutes. For deeper conditioning, you can leave it on overnight. Cover your hair with a shower cap or a towel to avoid staining your pillowcase.
5. Rinse and Wash:
   • After the treatment time, wash your hair thoroughly with a gentle shampoo to remove the oil. You may need to shampoo twice to ensure all the oil is washed out.
6. Frequency:
   • For best results, use this treatment 1-2 times per week.

This simple yet powerful combination of castor oil and coconut oil can help nourish your scalp, strengthen your hair, and encourage healthy growth.
