4. Olive Oil
Now, pour enough olive oil into your container to cover all your ingredients completely.
Olive oil has long been hailed as a miracle elixir for hair. Rich in vitamin E, oleic acid, and antioxidants, it:
- Deeply moisturizes dry, brittle strands
- Prevents split ends
- Strengthens hair fibers
- Soothes an itchy, flaky scalp
- Protects against environmental damage
Vitamin E in particular has been linked to improved scalp circulation, contributing to increased hair growth.
5. Water Bath (Double Boiler Method)
Once all ingredients are in a glass jar with a lid, place it into a saucepan or pot filled with 2 cups of water. This indirect heating method is known as a bain-marie (or double boiler), which gently infuses the ingredients without destroying their nutrients.
Let it simmer for about 15 minutes.
This slow infusion allows the beneficial compounds in the onion, garlic, and avocado seed to release into the olive oil without overheating and losing their effectiveness.
How to Store Your Hair Growth Oil
After 15 minutes in the water bath, remove the jar carefully, allow it to cool, then strain the mixture into a clean, dark glass container with a secure lid. A dark bottle is best because it protects the oil from light degradation.
Store the oil in a cool, dark place. It should last for several weeks.
How to Use the Oil
To maximize results, apply this oil three times per week, following these steps:
- Apply to Scalp
Massage a generous amount of the oil directly onto your scalp using your fingertips. Focus on the areas where hair is thinning or missing. - Massage Gently
Spend 5 to 10 minutes massaging the oil into your scalp in circular motions. This boosts circulation and helps the oil penetrate the hair follicles. - Let It Sit
Leave the oil on your scalp for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper conditioning. - Wash Thoroughly
Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo to wash your hair. You may need to shampoo twice to fully remove the oil. - Repeat 2–3 Times Per Week
Important Notes and Warnings
- Do a patch test first to check for any allergic reactions, especially due to garlic or onion.
- Avoid applying too often. Overuse can cause scalp sensitivity or stimulate hair growth in unintended places (like your forehead or neck).
- If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider before using home remedies involving essential oils or strong botanicals.
- This is not a substitute for medical treatment if you have an underlying condition like alopecia areata, thyroid disorders, or scalp infections.
What Results Can You Expect?
While results vary from person to person, many users report noticeable hair regrowth within 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use. New baby hairs often appear in bald patches or thinning areas, and overall hair texture improves.
Of course, hair regrowth is a process. It’s important to pair any topical treatment with a healthy diet, hydration, stress management, and vitamin-rich lifestyle to see the best long-term results.
