DIY Oil hair mask/treatment

Oil Hair Mask/Treatment is amazing for all types of hair as it nourishes hair naturally and locks in moisture. It conditions hair deep to help our hair regain strength as our hair goes through a lot in this weather, pollution, heat, dust, dirt, chemical treatments and many other factors. The following are the oil treatments I am using for my hair. I cut my hair short and I am trying grow them long.

This is a recipe that is taught to my mother by my grandmother. My grandmother had such a beautiful long, thick and heavy hair and so do my mother. My grandmother was 50 when she passed away and she had absolutely zero grey/white hair. The recipe she followed is as follows.


Recipe 1

Ingredients:


1 litre of pure organic coconut oil (unrefined)
1 scrapped fresh coconut


Procedure:

  • In a heavy bottomed deep vessel, heat the pure organic unrefined coconut oil. 
  • When the oil is slightly heated, add the fresh scrapped coconut. As soon as you drop the coconut in the oil, it tends to foam up and rise up to the rim of the vessel. So use a deep vessel and keep stirring it very often. 
  • Do not over heat the oil as it will burn the coconut before it gets infused. The coconut will slowly turn brown in slow fire. This will release amazing coconut smell during the process. 
  • Cool the mixture and filter it residue. Store it in a clean air-tight container. use when needed. 
  • Initially start with usage of twice a week or thrice a week. Then u can reduce it to once a week depending on your hair's requirement.

Application: 

Apply this oil to the roots till the tip and leave it over night or at least 5 hrs. wash your hair with mild shampoo and condition it. Your hair will shine away with lot of strength. 


Recipe 2

Ingredients:


1 cup of pure organic coconut oil (unrefined)
1 cup of pure organic Castor oil (unrefined)


Procedure:

  • In a heavy bottomed vessel, heat the pure organic unrefined coconut oil and the pure organic unrefined Castor oil together in low flame. 
  • Heat until they combine.
  • Do not over heat the oil.
  • Cool the mixture and store it in a clean air-tight container. use when needed. 
  • This mixture will be thick consistency. So heat the oil slightly before application.
  • Initially start with usage of once a week for only 1 hour. Then u can use depending on your hair and body requirement. If your body permits then you can use it overnight. 

Application:

Apply this oil to the roots till the tip and leave it over night or at least 5 hrs. wash your hair with mild shampoo and condition it. I generally keep over night and wash the next day. I won't keep longer.

Since Castor oil is loaded with benefits, it has anti-bacterial property, promotes thicker hair and treats scalp infection. 


Note:

Castor oil is cold for body. DO NOT use during cold weather. Use only during summer or  during day time when there is sun. I do not recommend this for people who easily catch cold and people with SINUSITIS.

1 cup of pure organic Castor oil (unrefined)

  • Heat until they combine.
  • Do not over heat the oil.
  • Cool the mixture and store it in a clean air-tight container. use when needed. 
  • This mixture will be thick consistency. So heat the oil slightly before application.
  • Initially start with usage of once a week for only 1 hour. Then u can use depending on your hair and body requirement. If your body permits then you can use it overnight. 

Application:

Apply this oil to the roots till the tip and leave it over night or at least 5 hrs. wash your hair with mild shampoo and condition it.


Note:

If you are allergic to nuts, please DO NOT USE. If you want to try, then patch test and use this recipe.

It is a very simple recipe that i tried in the influence from my grandmother.

You might or might not see the result in 1 wash. Since it is all natural it takes months. It took 6 months for me to see the result. It totally depends on the frequency of usage, amount of treatment oil, and length of treatment.


This Oil hair mask is amazing for hair. Trust me it works the best for dry and damaged hair. These recipes are basically combination of oils. It helps in promotion of hair growth and deep condition. Thus acting more like a treatment for your hair. Continuous use of this hair mask/treatment will result in voluminous healthy hair.
