Hair spa is a wonderful gift you can give yourself. And the best part of the hair spa treatment is massaging your head (hair as well as your scalp) with the oil.
Hot oil massage provides the necessary nourishment to the hair roots and the strand. The massage helps in proper blood circulation and removes dead cells from the scalp helping the scalp to breath healthily. The oil massage restores the natural shine to the hair.
 Here is a simple herbal oil you can make on your own. You will need a fistful of hibiscus leaves, henna leaves, curry leaves, dried goose berry pieces, few pieces of edible camphor and a liter of gingely oil.
It is best if the process is carried out in an iron kadai. After gathering all the required items
Hair Oil- Steps By Step:-
- Drop all the leaves and dried goose berry pieces into the kadia.
- Â Add 4-5 spoons of gingely oil and heat in low flame for about 3-4 minutes until all leaves are fried well.
- Now add the whole one liter of gingely oil into the kadai and boil the oil very well.
- After the flame is put off, allow the oil to cool and the leaves and goose berries to settle down.
- Separate all the leaves and the goose berry pieces from the oil.
- Store the oil in a clean bottle for use.
- Â Drop about 10 pieces of edible camphor to the oil bottle. The camphor will dissolve on its own. It gives great aroma to the oil and also helps in fighting infection in the scalp.
(Main ingredients for the oil. Leaves are easily available in  your own garden. Dried goose berry pieces are available at any Ayurvedic shop.)
 (Hibiscus, henna and curry leaves and dried goose berry pieces in the iron kadai)
(All ingredients fried in 3-4 spoon gingely oil.)
 
(One liter of gingely oil added to the kadai after the leaves are fried enough.)
(Oil in boiling state.)
(Final product with few pieces of camphor added.)
 
This has been my massage oil for over 3 years. A very simple and easy method to carry out. So ladies, enjoy a massage with herbal oil that smells of camphor.

Soooper nutritious for the hair! You can also add a handful of crushed peppercorns and methi seeds to this mixture and boil it. My grandma used to make a very similar oil.. And we used it during Diwali.
peppercorns..how does that help Sandhya ?
cures scalp infections from what I know.. They use it in the Diwali ka tel that we make.. It gives you that warm sensation in your head!
oh! sounds amazing.
I’ll send you a recipe of the Diwali tel.. Might be useful.. It uses Gingely oil as well.. It’s a ritual on the day of Diwali, they’ll wake you up at 4.00AM to oil our hair 😛 Crazy folks I tell you..
My hair used to be sooper silky and smooth until I started college and aftr tht it’s become haywire..
that will be great Sandhya.
Sure Ana! Will do that over the weekend and send it along with the pics 🙂

hi, Chandini thanks for the recipe 🙂 , i love natural products, i’ve tried the curry leaves in the past but put off with the smell, but i like your camphor trick( is it ok to add to the hair oil?) definately gonna try it. :tap-dance: gingely oil is til/sesame oil right
yes til ka tel/gingerly oil also known as sesame oil..smells bad 😛 but camphor will overpower its fragrance i believe.
You know, sesame oil is supposed to reduce marked left by pox and measles ……..its a multi purpose oil ……..
yup! and my fav is forest essential sesame oil..one of the best..not thick and extra virgin
this is fab…my mom tried something like this with aloe vera and it worked like magic… :-)) 😛

I have no ideaa..Hunn!! this article is not written by me! :-/
k didi
Wow, I did not know this at all. I will definitely give it a shot. Plain coconut oil mixed with some olive oil has always been my mantra. I have very thick, long hair which gets difficult to manage during the summers. Once in a while, I also go for a hair spa to prevent dandruff and smelly scalp. Recently, after a friend suggested, I started using Hair n Care. Well, I had more reasons to buy it because they have roped in teen diva Shraddha Sharma for their campaign. I am a big fan of hers, not because she sings well, but is also a motivation for me. Cheers!!
Even my mom makes a very similar oil using coconut and sarson oil. It helped in reducing her hairfall and makes hair very silky.
Can someone suggest a good conditioner without silicones and other harmful chemicals for dry frizzy hair ? Badly need help.
