These are some of the Ayurvedic herbs and modern kitchen staples that are not only easy to find but are also backed by tradition and science. These homemade hair oils infused with the magical ingredients treat problems like thinning hair, stunted growth and dullness and dryness. Here are the natural enhancers that elevate the hair care routine, working as a miracle potion for hair growth.
Simple Ingredients To Add To Your Hair Oil For Hair Growth
Curry Leaf Paste
Curry leaves are not just restricted to enhancing the taste and flavours of dal and tadka, but the presence of biotin, beta-carotene and essential nutrients feeds the hair follicles and reduces breakage. Soak a handful of fresh curry leaves in warm coconut or almond oil for an hour. Blend into a smooth paste and then massage it on the scalp. Leave it overnight and shampoo in the morning. This helps boost circulation, strengthen strands and deliver faster, healthier hair growth.

Fenugreek (Methi) Seed Powder
Fenugreek seeds are loaded with proteins, vitamin C, folic acid and iron, which are essential for speedy hair growth. They prevent hair thinning and nourish the scalp. Soak two teaspoons of fenugreek seeds overnight. Grind them into a coarse paste and mix with your regular hair oil. Apply to scalp and strands, leave for 1–2 hours and rinse with cool water.
Onion Juice
This is an age-old remedy for hair growth and it also boosts circulation due to the presence of high sulfur content. Blend one small onion and strain to get about 2 tbsp of juice. Mix it with equal parts coconut oil or castor oil. Massage into the scalp and leave for at least 30 minutes, preferably overnight. Use a mild shampoo to avoid odour. Apply this 2–3 times a week for reduced hair fall and quicker hair growth.

Aloe Vera Gel
Aloe vera is a scalp superhero. It soothes irritation, balances pH and conditions the scalp, thus helping in healthy hair growth. Mix 2 tablespoons of fresh aloe vera gel into your oil (like jojoba, almond or coconut oil). Massage gently for 5–10 minutes. Leave it on for 30–60 minutes before washing. It will give you a refreshed scalp, less dandruff and smoother, stronger hair.

Essential Oils
There are certain essential oils that are a powerhouse for boosting hair growth, improving circulation and fighting scalp issues. Peppermint oil stimulates blood flow with a minty tingle. Rosemary oil is clinically shown to boost hair thickness. Lavender oil has antibacterial benefits and promotes hair growth, too. Add 3-5 drops of your favourite essential oil into every tablespoon of carrier oil (coconut, olive or jojoba). Massage deeply for 5 minutes and leave for 1 hour (or overnight). Rinse and shampoo. Rotate essential oils weekly to boost hair growth.
