DIY Homemade Fenugreek and Hibiscus Hair Oil

Hibiscus flowers are rich in nutrients that help in rapid hair growth, strength and repair, while fenugreek helps in nourishing the hair roots and retaining the natural color. 

For this homemade hair oil:
-pluck 4-5 hibiscus flowers fresh from the plant and dry in shade for a couple of days or more (drying the flowers will reduce the chances of spoilage of oil). 

-When the flowers have completely dried grind them along with 3-4 tbsp fenugreek seeds in a fine powder form.

-Add 2 cups of virgin coconut oil to this powder in a separate container. Let the powder infuse with the oil for a week or so. 

-After a week you will notice a change in the color of oil turning slightly yellowish. The oil is ready to use, let the sediment rest at the bottom then carefully strain it in a bottle and use it at least once a week to obtain the best results.
