This concoction I found by accident online during some research on the names of chemicals that we find in our commercial products, so I decided to write it down. I have no need for hair growth, but these ingredients are very good for just hair and scalp health. A few days later, I was speaking with a couple of coworkers who were telling me they both were trying to regrow their hair and the results from what they both were doing just was not productive enough for them. I offered to make this for the ladies to see if it would get them the better and quicker results that they were wanting. After I gave the oils to them, I decided to give it a try myself, just to experiment with my own hair. I applied it twice a week and left on for about an hour. As the beginning of the third week came, I noticed major results with my hair growth and hair health. I did not apply anymore after those applications. Why? Because it made my hair grow too fast and made it thicker. I liked that because my hair is fine and feels like silk. I have Type 1 hair.
This recipe has only three ingredients, but you can add or replace whatever oils you want to fit your need. I know this combination works, not because I have the education, but from experience from myself and others. One tip I can give is, if you do not like the smell of Tea Tree oil, replace it with Rosemary oil. Rosemary is another great natural hair growth ingredient to add or replace with. You can store any remaining oils in any type of container, but preferably glass and in a cool dry place.
3- Ingredient Hair Growth Oils
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 2 Tablespoons castor oil
- 5 drops tea tree oil
- makes about 4oz
How to make and use
Mix all ingredients together and apply to scalp. Massage scalp with pads of fingers working the oils into the hair strands.
Leave on for 20-30 minutes. You can also use a shower cap to help the oils penetrate into your scalp and hair strands. This can be done prior to showering or after showering. Rinse and dry your hair has you normally would.
This treatment can also be used as an overnight hair mask. Apply as directed and wrap hair in a silk wrap or a shower cap.
These oils can also be used on the body after showering as a great dry skin moisturizer and will smell amazing if you replace the Tea Tree oil with Lavender oil or any oil that you wish.
My suggestion on how often to do this would depend on the severity of your hair loss, hair damage, and hair type. If you are using this just to make your hair look and feel healthier, shiny, and soft, use once a week. For those who are needing help with regrowth or chemical/heat damage, use 2-3 times a week.
****Important tip****
When rinsing hair of oils, especially coconut oil, make sure you allow your water to run as hot as you can for 2-3 minutes. This will help the coconut oil to wash completely down the drain. If you do not do this then you risk a hefty plumbing procedure to be done. Continued use of coconut oil down the drain will clog the drains.
If you make this and use it, please share your experience with me and others.
