A BEAUTY enthusiast has shared a must-try hack for stopping hair from shedding excessively.
She demonstrated using natural ingredients to make an oil that strengthens hair and promotes growth.
Kirti (@kirtitewani) has garnered over 327,000 followers on TikTok, where she champions Ayurveda - an ancient healing system founded in India.
She took to the social media platform to share a natural remedy for people who are suffering from hair loss.
There are numerous reasons why hair may fall out including aging, heredity, and hormonal changes.
“Try this Ayurvedic homemade hair oil recipe,” Kirti said while boiling water on the stove.
“Let’s prep for a double boiling method as we will need to cook this oil for about an hour.
“All we need is one cup of coconut oil.
"Add it to the pan, and add one teaspoon of amla powder this one is from Organic India.
“The vitamins and minerals along with the phytonutrients present in amla increase the blood circulation in the scalp which stimulates hair growth.
“A handful of curry leaves.
“Curry leaves encourage fast hair growth by moisturizing the scalp and removing the dead hair follicles.
“Fenugreek seeds help to increase the thickness of your hair.
“Fresh aloe vera is a great conditioner and also helps in strengthening your hair.
“Black sesame seeds can aid in hair growth due to high levels of omega-three and omega-six fatty acids.
“Simply cook this for an hour, strain it, and it’s ready to use.”
Kirti revealed the exact amount of each ingredient in the caption of her post as she claimed it makes the “best hair oil.”
She wrote: “One cup coconut oil, a handful of curry leaves, one tablespoon of amla powder.
“One tablespoon fenugreek seeds, one tablespoon black sesame seeds, and a chunk of aloe vera.”
Over 384,000 people watched the video as it went viral with 12,000 likes from people who were grateful for the advice.
Many viewers took to the comment section gushing over Kirti’s enviable hair and eager to try making the oil for themselves.

According to Healthline, there is no conclusive evidence that coconut oil speeds up hair growth but it can be used to improve hair and scalp health.
When applied as a moisturizer it can prevent dryness, split ends, and hair breakage to make hair look shinier and stronger.
