Have you noticed that your comb is fuller than your scalp? The hair that once fluttered proudly in the wind now resembles a tired houseplant? Don't worry - you're not alone. Hair loss and slow growth are among the most common "beauty frustrations" today, which more and more people suffer from, regardless of age or gender. Instead of reaching for expensive synthetic serums that promise miracles (and often deliver little), there is a simple but effective homemade recipe based on ancient herbs and proven folk wisdom. Try homemade oil for fast hair growth!
Introducing the DIY herbal hair oil, which you can make at home – without any special knowledge and without breaking the bank. It contains powerful natural ingredients like cloves, rosemary, hibiscus and garlic (yes, garlic – because if it can ward off vampires, it can definitely help your scalp too). Each ingredient is in the mix for a reason – and each of those reasons is linked to healthier, stronger and faster-growing hair.
How to prepare homemade oil for fast hair growth
Ingridients:
- 1 tablespoon cloves
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon dried hibiscus flowers
- 1 tablespoon black seeds (kalonji)
- 1 tablespoon seeds tripe (fenugreek)
- 1 cup mustard or olive oil (optional – mustard for a stronger effect, olive for a gentler touch)
Instructions:
- Shake all ingredients into a clean glass jar (preferably dark).
- Place the jar in a pot of hot water (double boiler method) and heat for 10 minutes. Do not boil!
- Remove the jar and seal it tightly. Let it sit at room temperature for 48 hours.
- Strain the oil and store it in a dark bottle with a lid.
- Use twice a week – apply to scalp, massage gently and leave on for 2-3 hours (ideal during a weekend detox). Then wash with a mild shampoo.
Why does this mixture work? Let's look at the power of the ingredients
- Cloves: Extremely rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, they stimulate blood circulation in the scalp and encourage hair follicles to work (like the boss coming to visit).
- Rosemary: One of the most studied herbs for hair growth – it stimulates blood circulation and has been shown to inhibit hair loss. In studies, rosemary oil was found to be as effective as minoxidil – but without the side effects.
- Garlic: Yes, the smell isn't for everyone, but it contains allicin, a powerful natural antibiotic and antioxidant that cleanses the scalp and strengthens the roots.
- Hibiscus: Known for its high content of vitamin C, amino acids and alpha hydroxy acids, which restore shine to hair, reduce dandruff and stimulate new growth.
- Black seeds (kalonji): A true star among hair superfoods – packed with essential fatty acids, thiamine, niacin and folic acid, which together create the perfect scalp-restoring cocktail.
- Triplex: In Ayurveda, an almost sacred plant for preventing hair loss – it contains proteins and lecithin, which strengthen the hair structure.
- Mustard oil: Warms the scalp (literally), increases circulation and acts as a natural growth stimulator. Olive oil is more gentle, but excellent for hydration and regeneration.
Additional tips for maximum results:
- Always apply oil to a dry scalp – moisture can reduce absorption.
- For an added effect, wrap your head in a warm towel – the heat opens the pores and improves the penetration of active ingredients.
- Don't forget the massage! A two-minute scalp massage with each application improves circulation and follicle function.
- Combine with a healthy lifestyle - foods rich in biotin, zinc and omega 3 fats further accelerate growth.
