Anti-Dandruff Herbal Hair Oil

Anti-dandruff herbal hair oil:

Dandruff is a condition which affects people of all age groups.Itchy scalp and flakiness are the common signs of dandruff.

While there are several over the counter products available to treat dandruff which are definitely effective but they contain harmful chemicals which sometimes cause other side effects like hair-fall and dry scalp condition.

Taking proper care of the scalp is therefore essential and this includes natural herbs that are mild yet nourishing for the scalp and hair.

I'm going to share a time tested home remedy which I have been using for years.

The hair oil is made with some spices and leaves that are readily available in your kitchen.

Ingredients :

Coconut oil - 2cups (use cooking coconut oil, preferably a good organic brand)

Curry leaves -15-20 nos. Washed and dried under fan( don't sun dry them)

Fenugreek seeds(methi Dana) - 15-20 nos.

Nigella seeds(kalonji) - 1/4 teaspoon

Neem leaves(optional)- 15-20nos.

Strainer

A piece of clean cotton cloth

Steps to make the Anti-dandruff hair oil :

-take a heavy bottom iron pan and heat it on low flame.

-pour the coconut oil and the curry leaves and Neem leaves and stir them for a minute.

-add the rest of the ingredients and keep stirring the oil till the curry leaves and Neem leaves are crunchy.You can take a leaf out carefully and crush it with your hands, if it crumbles then the oil is ready.

-allow the oil to cool completely  and take a clean sterilized glass jar and place the strainer on this jar and on the strainer,put the cotton clothe.

-now, slowly pour the oil into the strainer with the help of a table spoon.

-close the lid of the jar and you Anti-dandruff herbal hair oil is ready for use.

This oil has a beautiful aroma and it has all the goodness of coconut oil and all the anti bacterial properties of curry leaves and Neem leaves and the spices.

 Use it twice a week for good results.

Before applying the oil,make sure you gently heat it because warm oil massage not only improves circulation, it also relaxes you and helps in good sleep.

Best time to apply is at night before going to bed. Wear a head cap so that the pillow cover is not soiled.

Apply it to your scalp and hair and massage for atleast 10-15 minutes. Wash your hair the next day with a mild herbal shampoo.
