My mother’s hair oil recipe is ‘magic’ for fallout – I finally have strong & healthy locks, I’ve sworn by it for 3 years
A HAIRCARE enthusiast has revealed her mother's oil recipe for reducing hair loss.
After three years of use, she said she swore by the treatment for strong and healthy locks.
Tanisha (@skincarebytanisha) shared the beauty tip in a video with over 70,000 TikTok followers.
She had been diagnosed with a thyroid condition three years ago, leading to increased hair loss.
The recipe, recommended by her mother, helped her reduce her symptoms on the road to recovery.
"This hair oil I have been using for so long, it always helps me to reduce hair fall for strong, shiny, and healthy hair," she wrote.
Tanisha combined 500 grams of mustard oil, onions, and a tablespoon each of black Kalonji seeds and Fenugreek seeds.
Next, she added in fresh or dry Amla berries, a few curry leaves, dry rosemary leaves, sesame seeds, onion peels, and rose petals.
She boiled the oil on medium heat for five minutes, letting the ingredients soak in the oil for six hours, and then drained the oil into a bottle for storage.
Once transferred, the influencer explained that the oil could be stored for up to a month and should be replaced monthly.
To apply the oil, she recommended prepping the scalp by detangling the hair with a bamboo brush.
For best application, she used the oil with her fingers and left it on overnight with a cover or for two hours when she didn't have the time.
She incorporated the oil into her scalp with a ten-minute massage, then rinsed off with a sulphate-free shampoo.
Tanisha explained that she had the recipe to thank for her speedy hair recovery.
"It is magic for my hair," she said.
Viewers who tried the recipe shared their thoughts and progress.
"So cool, I make and sell this onion hair oil and my clients love their results, these ingredients are so amazing," said one commenter.
