If you’ve got hair woos, you’ve come to the right place. We all wished we had long, think, luscious hair don’t we? The harsh truth is that we don’t and we are always looking for a quick fix.
I can’t even begin to tell you how many things I’ve tried with my own troubles. After having my youngest, my hair shed and shed and shed. I’m not kidding. My bathroom floor had to be vacuumed every time I brushed my hair not forgetting the chunks that would come out in the bathtub on wash days. My hair was lacking everything it seems. I bought countless hair products and vitamins and nothing was helping.
It wasn’t until I started looking into DIY hair oils from an older Indian woman that I came across on YouTube. My first thought was that I can make these oils right at home and experiment on which is better for my hair type as well as my bank account.
Here are some amazing hair oils that you can make at home with just a few ingredients that will help with all your hair problems.

For best results, use cold-pressed oils. Try to oil your hair twice a week, too much oiling can clog the pores on your scalp. Remember to be consistent. It won’t work if you try it for a few days and loose hope. Give it an honest try and let me know
Please note that the olive and hair oil blend can be kept in a cool dry place for 2 months. The sesame oil, coconut oil spray, and almond oil rice water spray can be kept for 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
