Every Indian household seems to have a perpetual supply of coconut oil and there’s a good reason behind this. Coconut oil is filled with health benefits that can prove to be extremely effective for all hair types. It penetrates right into your hair follicles and deals with your concerns right from the roots, quite literally.

Now imagine what a powerful mix you could create if you added natural ingredients known to boost hair health to your coconut oil before that weekly champi! Doing so can protect your hair from damage while also healing it, ensuring that your tresses always stay healthy and strong.

Here are three ingredients that you can add to your coconut oil to promote healthy growth of hair:

1. Coconut oil and curry leaves
Just go to your kitchen and grab a handful of curry leaves! As it turns out, this common kitchen ingredient can help your hair grow. Curry leaves have a high content of beta-carotene and proteins that stimulate hair growth.

Rich in essential nutrients, antioxidants and amino acids, curry leaves will prevent thinning. They will strengthen your hair follicles and you can say bye-bye to hair fall.

Also watch:

All you have to do is take a handful of curry leaves and dry them out in the sun for a couple of days. Take the dried-out leaves and boil them in around 100ml of coconut oil. Let the mixture cool. Finally, massage your hair and scalp with the filtered-out oil mixture.

2. Coconut oil and kalonji seeds
We are sure you have heard about the multiple benefits of kalonji seeds that are known for being rich in vitamins A, B and C. They are also rich in nutrients like magnesium, zinc, iron potassium and essential fatty acids. Now, it is these powerful components that give you a healthy mane. If you are struggling with hair growth issues or split ends, try this potent duo of coconut oil and kalonji seeds to condition your hair.

Grind a tablespoon of kalonji seeds and add them to a bottle of coconut oil. Let the mixture rest for two to three days before using. We suggest you take a small quantity, heat it and massage your scalp with the mixture.

Take a handful of hibiscus flowers, wash them thoroughly with cold water and let them dry out in the sun. Once dried, heat some coconut oil and carefully add the petals of the hibiscus flower to it. Let the mixture heat on a low flame. Once done, wait for it to cool down. Now, strain the oil and pour it into a bottle. Apply it on your scalp on alternative days and leave it on for at least an hour before you wash your hair.
