Thoughts On This Homemade Hair Growth Oil???

[KiangaziNyota]

I STILL have my first batch! And it hasn't gone rancid or anything. I still have my fenugreek at the bottom of my bottle. I've used this oil at least three times a week the past few months and I must say it contributed to my length retention. I wasn't using any other form of growth aid so I definitely attribute my growth to this. This oil has also made my hair incredibly thick. Like, CRAZY thick!

Here's a pic I posted at the beginning of this challenge and a pic I took couple days ago, and this is after a trim. Not only will I continue to use this oil the rest of the year, I will also make her henna tea spritz and apply a few times a week. I'm trying to keep every strand of hair on this head in order to reach my goal!

Awesome results!!

I'm still on my first batch too, it still looks/smells good. I've only been using it as part of my prepoo though, and only when I remember to...

@KiangaziNyota thank you

 

[beauti]

I have so many Indian powders I'm tempted to just make a ton of oils, creams, and dc's to use them up. When I get on my diy kick I can't stop Decisions, decisions.

I just massaged some of my growth oil on my scalp a few minutes ago. Scalp is nice and tingly right now too.

 

[spacetygrss]

I've been using my oil regularly. I need to start brewing another batch. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow.

@Jade Feria thank you your hair in your avatar is amazing!

Thank you! It's a wig I made.

Oh! Girl I was wondering how long all that hair was when straightened!

It's also good for diabetes, according to the Indian woman who was surprised yet happy to see me shopping for it in the Indian mart.

Ok! I would love to use this concoction as a challenge and see how it works @ beauti! I also read a few years back that Fenugreek is good for weight loss! Lolol. Seems like an awesome herb! Hair growth and weight loss!!

 

[Aggie]

Massaged my oil in last night but taking a break tonight. Wash day is tomorrow and I can't wait because my scalp has been itching like crazy. It started itching after using the growth oil so I hope it's a growth spurt I'm having.

Been so tired/lazy lately, haven't done a new batch smh. I plan to start a batch this weekend and let it infuse for about 10 days. My scalp misses the TLC.

Also supposed to increase milk production in lactating women

 

[Lucky me]

I get bored fast....i bought the keravada super ego oil. Way easier. I love how light and good it smells. Not expecting faster growth because nothing external makes hair grow

 

[beauti]

I'm still oiling with it. Sometimes I baggy afterwards.

@Aggie thanks so much for sharing this.

You're welcome @YvetteWithJoy. I loved that video.

You're welcome @YvetteWithJoy. I loved that video.

Me, too. I loved it so. How authentic. How courageous and wonderful of her to share. It makes me feel a kindred closeness with her now lol -- it's funny.

The books she listed at the end -- I could NOT believe it. They are on my "short list" when dealing with this topic as well. I just wanna call her up, lol. She said she lost a lot of followers for sharing the video, but commenters are going in hard shoring her up over it. I love it.

I feel you on the bolded. I feel the same way. You know, God has a way of weeding out the nay-sayers and people who don't mean you well - I call them locusts and canker worms. It's better they leave now. God will provide her with more followers that actually have her best interest at heart. You watch and see. She was not afraid to let the world know that she believes in God. What she said was perfect.

I want to make a batch of this oil.
Does anyone know if it's better to use MSM powder or sulphur powder. I want to order the ingredients and got confused reading about sulphur hair oils. I know she used MSM, but which of the two is better?

Just fyi sulphur powder stinks. I made a sulphur oil and hooboy am I having a hard time applying it. The henna smell mostly overpowers everything in my mixture, so I'm not sure I'd risk it and the sulphur. In my experience anyway.

 

[tolly]

@imaginary thanks for that information. I will just stick to the msm.
I am 18months post relaxer and most of my hair is just 6inches long, I really need to speed up growth. I have to wait 2weeks for the components of this oil to get here.

 

[beauti]

I'm still oiling my scalp like every other day. The other batch I made is 5oz and will last until the end of the year, I think.

 

[Aggie]

Tonight I massaged the growth oil in my scalp for a couple of minutes, pre-oiled my hair with hemp and grapeseed oil and avj. Now I have a henna gloss treatment on my hair and will sleep with it on overnight. My wash day tomorrow is pretty short so I have to start some of my Saturday hair care routine tonight.

 

[keranikki]

My third batch is in progress. I really like this oil as a pre-poo. I have not used it in any other manner, which will change as the cooler temperature starts settling in.

I can imagine. I'll never forget using a sulphur concoction on my scalp the evening before work. Big mistake, you could smell me a mile away; never again.

This batch has been brewing since some time in September, I just put some fenugreek seeds in it yesterday...I'll leave them in for a couple days then transfer this oil to my applicator bottle. I'm slowly but surely getting thru my 2nd batch now....

My homemade sulfur oil smells pretty good. I highly suggest using perfume oil to mask the scent.

So, I've been lurking in this thread for quite some time now and this has brought back some memories....

I remember when LondonGirl or something like that posted a thread similar to this as well as another poster name CandiC or something and I remember when this was the rave back in the day on this board. This and that horse conditioner...can't think of the name right now. MEGATEK! That's it! Now, with all of the growth aides that have graced this board, we should be running around here lookin like Cousin Its and Rapunzel's.....

I can tell you that I have used both and both worked very well for my hair, but the Ayurvedic oils worked the best to me. The Megatek pushed it over the top. My hair was full, thick as hell and long. Hell, I was rockin my hair back n forth way before Willow even thought about writing that song! lolol...But one day, I decided to be cute n dyed my hair. And...well, the rest is history.

That said, let me give you my recipe and what I am doing now.

*lights up newport one hunnit* <<< tryna quit yall so ...

Parachute Coconut oil. This is the best coconut oil, in my opinion.
Amla Powder
Fenugreek Seeds - purchased at an Indian grocer in my area
Almond Oil - my hair loves this. also purchased from an Indian Grocer in my area
Sliced garlic cloves- I have this infusing in Olive Oil now in a mason jar. Garlic oil is excellent for hair growth
Henna Powder - It contains the bhringraj, amla, shikaki and brahmi powders.
Grapefruit & Peppermint Essential oils - I purchased from Whole Paycheck.

I poured the fenugreek seeds into a Ball Mason Jar. NO particular measurements. Just covered an inch of the bottom of the jar. I'd say two inches.

Added the Coconut and Almond oils. Added three tablespoons of the amla and henna powders. I will add my essential oils later.

So for now, I have a jar of sliced garlic gloves infusing in Olive Oil in a mason jar as well as the Fenugreek mixture in another mason jar in a crock pot (with water filled half way) on Medium. Both jars are sealed. Both jars will infuse in the crock pot (I have a large one) until late tonight. Then I'll infuse them again tomorrow. I don't feel comfortable leaving it on while I'm sleeping

I can tell you now that I have used this before and it worked. I'll add my essential oils later. Anyway, I'll take some of the oil from the Fenugreek and some of the garlic oil (using a dropper because garlic oil is potent) and blend them together in a applicator bottle. From there, I can add my grapefruit (for scent) and peppermint essential oils (for the tinglies lolol).

I started to infuse some Ginger in olive oil, but I didn't feel like it, but Ginger and Garlic by themselves work wonders. So just imagine if you add those two ingredients to your mixture. Bombtastic, ladies! Once I blend my oils together, the garlic is hardly noticeable. I don't add too much, because believe me, when you take that top off of that garlic oil.....chile.....

Garlic is good for shedding, strength and fast growth.

I didn't feel like adding Castor oil and everything else because for my hair, it's not necessary. Plus, I don't like Castor oil. It's too thick for me.

Good to have you join us @ThatJerseyGirl. Love your post too. It does bring back sort of nostalgic feeling of back in the old days here on the board.

Full disclosure, I am long time friends with the owner of the company & have used her products for at least 10 years. She made the perfume oil for me specifically to be mixed into a carrier oil.

That being said, I know I've talked about her products on the forum in the past - Habibi Body (habibibody.com) Totally love her products and recommend them highly.
