This super growth promoting serum contains Amla, Bhringraj, Shikaikai, Brahmi, Aritha, Hibiscus and more for a total of 10 Ayurvedic herbs long used in preparations for promoting healthy, shiny hair in a liquid (fractionated) coconut oil base. Works on all hair types Caucasian, African & Asian (But avoid use if your hair doesn't "play well" with coconut oil- for example, folks with low-porosity hair. Most people know from past experiences with hair products what ingredients their hair “loves” and “hates”).
Note: If you do not know for sure what your hair's porosity level is, please test it using the float test before buying this or any other coconut-based hair oil - if your hair happens to be low-porosity, coconut oil may exacerbate hair problems, so testing is crucially important. If you have low porosity hair or are not sure, please consider instead our version of this 10 herb hair oil for low porosity oil here: https://etsy.me/2JGUTVj

And don't forget - there are 5 more ingredients that are said to promote longer, healthier hair!** This product is chock full of Ayurvedic goodies that your hair will love. NEW!! - we now also sell these scented. Note though that a hint of the oil's native scent (earthy) may still be present in the scented oil.
The choices are:
White Gardenia: pretty and complex, contains notes of white gardenia, jasmine and muguet; along with subtle notes of citrus, lily of the valley, amber woods.
Vanilla Bean: a sugary vanilla scent, similar to old fashioned vanilla ice cream and
Plumeria de Hawaii: has a scent reminiscent of fresh picked plumeria blossoms and island breezes.
NEW!: We now sell this in a an Ultra, Super Concentrated and a more economical Regular Strength (1/2 concentration). Please see photos for comparison.
ULTRA is DOUBLE the Strength of Super Concentrated Formula and is extremely dark colored and a bit harder to scent with fragrance. The reason is because the scent of the herbs in this concentrated formula is a bit stronger and tends to compete a bit with added fragrance. So with Ultra Formula, please note that any added scent will be lighter than in other formulas.
You can apply this full strength or dilute it by half or more with plain coconut oil to get Super concentrated oil or regular strength and save a little money than buying them separately.
Super Concentrated is 1/2 the concentration of ULTRA, but double the concentration of regular. It is our most popular of the three offering a high concentration at an accessible price.
Regular Formula (or 1/2 Super Concentrated oil) is Super Concentrated cut by half with plain coconut oil, it is our most affordable option.
All three formulas contain all the same herbal ingredients, they just differ on the ratio of coconut oil to herbs. Higher Price = Higher herbal concentration, Lower Price = Lower herbal concentration.
Ingredients: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (Fractionated Coconut) Oil, Lac (Cow’s Milk), Cocos Nucifera (Ground Coconut), Aloe Barbadensis (Aloe) Leaf Juice, Phyllanthus Emblica (Amla), Sapindus Laurifolia (Aritha) Fruit Powder, Eclipta Alba (Bhringraj) Powder, Copa Monieri (Brahmi) Powder, Cassia Obovata (Cassia) Leaf Powder, Hibiscus Rosa Sinensis Linn (Hibiscus) Petal Powder, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Powder, Nelumbo Nucifera (Lotus) Powder, Acacia Concinna (Shikakai) Nut Powder, Ocimum Sanctum (Tulsi) Leaf Powder [and fragrance if your order this scented].
To make this oil, we use real cow's milk (for the vitamins) and shredded coconut. I add all 10 Ayurvedic herbs imported from India and infuse. The finished product is a a green tinted clear oil. The green does not color or stain hair, however, if you use hair color, please patch test on a small piece of hair before using on your whole head, as some people claim coconut oil may dull their hair color.
How to use: For best results, use daily by massaging into the scalp, lubricating the ends of hair as needed. Even better results can be achieved when using in conjunction with GHE (the greenhouse effect) or the inversion (Power Growth) method. Instructions on how to do these methods will be included with your order*. Just be aware that this and all oils can stain clothing, so it's best to apply the oil before you get dressed or in clothes you don't mind getting stained. You may also choose to put the oil on before bed and wash out in the morning, or leave it in for up to one week. You also may have good results by oiling your hair at night and "baggy-ing" it - meaning you put a plastic bag or shower cap on your hair, and cover that with a scarf. In the morning you can wash your hair and style as normal.
WARNING: Safety of specific herbs/oils in this product for pregnant or nursing women or children has not been determined. For this reason we do not recommend this product for use by women who are pregnant or nursing, or for children.
A Little Goes A Long Way: If you apply it to your scalp only, one 4 oz bottle can last approximately 2-3 months. Over time and with regular use, you may see noticeably more lustrous hair.
So how long will it take to work? That depends on the type and condition of your hair, state of health, diet, etc. (see our FAQ's for more info). Some users notice results within a few weeks. Other users see results within 2-3 months of everyday use.
