DIY: Hair Tonic

DIY: Hair Tonic - Ginger, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Rosemary, Almond oil, Castor oil, and Mahabringraj oil

I've mentioned in my previous posts, that I was having some issues with my hair. So lately, I've been experimenting with a lot of oils and massage techniques. Scalp massages have actually been around for centuries. They help with promoting circulation and supplying nutrients to hair follicles. They are also a great method of relaxation. Seriously.



I've experimented with some oils that I found to suit my scalp and hopefully give me some growth. I use castor oil, almond oil and a herbal oil  I've found at my local ethnic grocery store, called Mahabringraj. I also added some essential oils I had on hand.

DIY: Hair Tonic

What You Need:
~100 ml of Almond Oil
~ 30 ml of Castor Oil
~ 50 ml Mahabhringraj Oil
1 Drop Ginger EO
3 Drop Peppermint EO
2 Drop Rosemary EO
2 Drop Tea Tree EO

What To Do:
Step 1: Mix all oils together. I would recommend you test it first to see if you have sensitivity to the Essential Oils.

Step 2. Scalp Massage Anyone?

The scent is of this tonic is less than desirable but I can put up with it for hair growth. I use this as an overnight treatment, once a week. I massage this, focusing mainly on my scalp- not on my length. I wash this out in the morning with my shampoo bar and conditioner. ( I condition twice and I leave it in for few minutes before rinsing) So far I have only noticed less frizzes and softer hair. I will update monthly on my growth :)

What are some of your favorite oils?
