How to Make a Hair Growth Stimulating Serum

Make your own hair serum

Taking care of your hair can sometimes seem like a challenge, especially if you're looking to stimulate its growth in a natural and effective way. Good news! You can make a stimulating hair serum at home using natural ingredients, tailored to your needs. Follow this guide to prepare a simple, inexpensive and 100% natural serum.

The benefits of natural ingredients

Before we dive into the recipe, let’s find out why these ingredients are so effective:

• Vegetable oils: They nourish and protect the scalp. For example, castor oil is known for its fortifying and stimulating properties.
• Essential oils: Certain oils such as peppermint or rosemary boost blood circulation in the scalp, thus promoting better hair growth.
• Vitamins: Additions like vitamin E strengthen the hair fiber and prevent breakage.
• Natural Extracts: Ingredients like aloe vera juice moisturize and soothe the scalp.

Homemade recipe: Hair growth stimulating serum

Ingredients :

• 2 tablespoons castor oil
• 2 tablespoons coconut or argan oil (your choice, according to your preferences)
• 10 drops of rosemary cineole essential oil
• 5 drops of peppermint essential oil
• 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel (optional for a moisturizing effect)
• 1 capsule of vitamin E (available in pharmacies or organic stores)

Materials needed:

• A glass bottle with dropper (ideal for easy application)
• A pipette or spoon for dosing
• A mixing bowl

Preparation steps:

1. Clean your equipment: Before you begin, sterilize your bottle and utensils to avoid any contamination.
2. Mix the oils: In a bowl, pour the castor oil and coconut oil (or argan oil) and mix well.
3. Add the essential oils: Add the rosemary and peppermint essential oils drop by drop. Mix gently.
4. Add Aloe Vera Gel: If you want to moisturize more, add a tablespoon of aloe vera gel.
5. Finish with vitamin E: Pierce the vitamin E capsule and add its contents to the preparation.
6. Transfer to the bottle: Pour the mixture into your bottle using a funnel to avoid loss.

How to use your hair serum?

1. Apply directly to scalp: Using the dropper, place a few drops of serum on your clean, dry scalp.
2. Massage gently: Use circular motions with your fingers to stimulate blood circulation and help the serum penetrate.
3. Leave on: For a deep treatment, leave on overnight by wrapping your hair in a towel or cap. Otherwise, leave on for at least 30 minutes before shampooing.
4. Repeat regularly: Use the serum 2 to 3 times a week for optimal results.

The benefits to expect:

• Faster growth thanks to the stimulating action of essential oils.
• Stronger, less brittle hair.
• A healthy, hydrated and nourished scalp.

Precautions:

• Do a skin test before using the serum, especially if you have sensitive skin.
• Do not use essential oils during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice.
• Store your serum away from light and heat to preserve its properties.
