DIY Black Cumin Oil To Get Strong Hair

I waited quite long to share this DIY as I wanted to see its effects on my hair before recommending it to you people. Now that I know this works amazingly in strengthening hair, preventing balding and premature greying I am ready to share my secret recipe. To know about this fortified hair oil, containing black cumin seeds and black tea, keep scrolling.

Ingredients:

Coconut Oil and Shikakai Oil: I have used these as base oils. You can substitute them and go for thick oils like castor oil, amla oil, bhringaraj oil. It would be best if the oils are made by extraction of pure ingredients rather than the commercially available ones. But you can surely give this a shot with store-bought oils.

Black Cumin Seeds: 1 tablespoon for 50 ml of oil.

Black Tea: I got a black tea bag, but you can use black tea leaves too.

Method

* Pour the coconut oil and shikakai oil in 1:1 ratio to a mixing cup. You can scale up to make up a larger batch, or make small amounts as I do. The ratios given here are for 50 ml total oil volume (25 ml coconut oil and 25 ml shikakai oil).

* Add 1 tablespoon of black cumin seeds.

* Next, add the black tea bag to the mixture. You can either add a soaked tea bag (in hot water) or use it dry. Either way, it works great.

* Mix it well and leave it in sun for as long you want. I leave mine for 4-5 days or so. The longer you leave, the darker it gets. You can easily leave it for a fortnight.

* Filter the oil with a muslin cloth or strainer and store it in a container.
