Then try out this magic homemade hair growth oil, it will control your hair fall in one week,  will reduce dandruff, is going to promote fast hair growth and is also going to reduce premature graying of the hair too.
So let’s get started.
Products Required:
- 100 ml of  Pure Coconut Oil.
- 100 ml of Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- 100 ml of Sesame Oil.
- 100 ml of Mustard Oil.
- 50 ml of Almomd Oil.
- 50 ml of Castor Oil.
- Handful of Indian Gooseberry, if you do not get fresh gooseberry you can take a handful of dry gooseberry too.
- Handful of Curry Leaves.
- 5 Tbsp of Flaxseed Powder.
- 2 Finely Chopped Onion.
Procedure to Prepare this Magical Hair Oil:
- Take a iron pot  and put it on the high flame.
-  When it becomes hot add the coconut oil,  when the coconut oil  becomes a bit hot add the olive oil, the sesame oil, the mustard oil, the almond oil and the castor oil.
- Let them all come to boil, turn the flame settings to medium,  add the Indian gooseberry and stir  it for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Next add in the curry leaves  and let them sizzle in the hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Next add in the finely chopped onions, keep stiring the oil till the onion turns to a  golden colour.
- After that add the flaxseed powder to the oil mix and turn the gas to the lowest settings.
- Let it infuse in the oils for 10 to 15 minutes on lowest heat settings.
- After 15 minutes turn off the gas and cover the oil and let all the ingredients infuse in the oil overnight.
- Next morning strain the oil in a glass bottle and discard whatever is left on the strainer.
- Keep the oil in a dark place for 2 days and after 2 days your oil is ready to be used.
How to Use This Magical Hair Oil:
- Detangle your hair and part your hair in sections.
- Take a cotton ball, dip it into the oil mix and start applying it to your scalp.
- Cover your entire scalp with the oil and whatever is left you can apply it on your hair length.
- After you have applied the oil start massaging your scalp with very light pressure. Use your fingers tips to massage the oil into your scalp.
- Remember not to apply too much pressure as a hair massage should soothe and calm the senses and applying too much pressure is not advisable during a head massage.
- After the massage de-tangle your hair with a wide tooth comb and braid your hair.
- You can leave this oil on your scalp from anywhere between 3 hours to overnight. I personally like to keep the oil overnight as it gives the oil enough time to seep into the scalp and work much more effectively.
- If you do not want to keep it overnight, keep this oil on your scalp for at least 3 hours because keeping it any less than 3 hours won’t solve the purpose.
- After I get up in the morning I give a hot towel treatment to my scalp and that helps the follicles of the hair to open up and also helps the oil to penetrate deep into the roots of the hair which makes the hair follicle strong and also promotes hair growth.
- Hot towel treatment is a necessity after this hair oil massage as it is very important to open the follicles of the hair so that the oil penetrate into the shaft and the roots and promote hair growth and healthy hair too.
- After keeping the towel on your hair for 15 minutes wash off with any sulfate and paraben free shampoo.
- You do not need to use a conditioner after this hair oil massage because the oil mix is nourishing enough and it makes the hair very soft and smooth.

Castor Oil has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties and is rich in Vitamin E, minerals, protein, Omega 6 and 9 beneficial fatty acids.  It is unusually high in Ricinoleic acid makes it very beneficial for hair.

The antioxidants in Castor oil also supports Keratin in the hair and help make the hair stronger, smoother and less frizzy. It is one of the most effective home remedies for dry scalp, hair thinning, split ends and hair loss. Being rich in proteins, minerals and Vitamin E Castor Oil works as a magic potion for your hair.
