Just made my oils. I am not really looking for a 'miracle growth oil", instead something that can help my scalp sebopsoriasis and resulting thinning from the condition. I cut my hair off last night, and I am kinda sad that I still haven't gained the upper-hand on this condition.
I made 2 sets, each a third of her measurements. I decided to make one following her exact ingredients, and the second with lighter oils(trying to avoid clogging my scalp) and loads of herbs that have anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, antibacterial,calming and balancing properties.
Recipe as per OP for Oil 1
1/4 cup Coconut oil
1/4 cup Olive oil
2 tbsp Black Castor oil
3 drops Peppermint oil
2 drops Rosemary oil
2 drops Teatree oil
1/4 cups Fenugreek seeds
1/3 tbsp Henna powder
Recipe for my herb infused oil
1/4 cup Coconut oil -
kept this for the antifungal/antibacterial properties
1/4 cup Grapeseed oil + Apricot kernel oil -
lighter, so hopefully won't clog my scalp
1 tbsp Black Castor oil -
might leave out next time, really want a light oil
3 drops Peppermint essential oil -
cooling, soothing, stimulates hair growth
2 drops Teatree oil -
anti-fungal, antibacterial, antiseptic - can be drying for me, which is why I used so little
2 drops Eucalyptus essential oil -
antibacterial, improves circulation
1/4 cups Fenugreek seeds -
improves circulation, exfoliates
1/3 tbsp Henna powder -
antibacterial, astringent, - this was actually good for my scalp during my best hhj phase
1/4 tsp Amla powder -
antibacterial, rich in vitamin C
1/3 tsp Brahmi Powder -
prevents thinning
1 tbsp Burdock root herb -
anti-inflammatory, encourages stronger growth
1 tbsp Lemongrass herb -
anti-inflammatory, mild astringent
1 tbsp Rosehip herb -
rich in vitamin C
1 tbsp Lavender herb -

1 tbsp Rosemary herb -
vitamin-rich, antibacterial, anti-oxidant, balancing
1 tbsp Chamomile herb -

I just have to get MSM powder and add to both oils. They both smell great though, especially the herb infused oil; the lavender is coming through nicely
