The Miracle Hair Oil – A Tried and Tested Recipe

Posted on 23rd March 201731st July 2022 by Mayuri


Top post on IndiBlogger, the biggest community of Indian Bloggers

Disclaimer: All views and methods expressed here are my own. Please follow them at your own discretion. I shall not be held responsible for the results they may show on you, whatever they may be.

Requesting you to read the complete post carefully. I cannot answer the same questions again and again, even after writing such a detailed post. If you wish to add anything to the oil, do so at your own risk. I always use ONLY the ingredients I have mentioned here.

When my friend, Ensiya Kothari, shared the ingredients of this Hair Oil, which I have named the Miracle Hair Oil, with me I thought she was joking! “Onions, garlic, curry leaves, are you kidding me? Are we making chutney or hair oil?” I laughed. Click To Tweet

Then I saw she was serious and had shared her tried and tested recipe after I remarked on the change I noticed in her hair. Her hair was fuller, looked glossy and the length had increased considerably as well. Ensiya loves taking care of herself using natural products and is always reading up and using things she has up in her kitchen, so it was safe to say that her recipe got me curious, and how!

So the first thing I did as soon as I got home assembled the ingredients for the Oil. Luckily I had everything on hand, even a brand new ½ liter Coconut Oil bottle.

The paste took me 5 minutes to make and boiling that with the oil took another 15 minutes. So in 20 minutes, I had the oil in my kadhai. I left it overnight and strained it well the next day, and it was ready to use.

I have been using the Hair Oil since February, I have used it once a week, though ideally, twice a week works better, and I am beginning to see these results;

Hair fall has reduced by a LOT more than half

Hair has become darker and glossier

Hair has become smoother

I see new hair growth sprouting in places where my scalp used to be visible

The Oil, when applied, relaxes me and I sleep better

A noticeable reduction in the frizziness of hair as well

Miracle-Hair-Oil-Sirimiri

So after reading all of the above you surely want to know how to make this Miracle Hair Oil yourself, right?

Here is the recipe, with pictures.

Ingredients :
1/2 Litre pure Coconut Oil ( ANY BRAND OF Organic Oil works best, but you could use Parachute Coconut Oil too)
1 medium-sized Onion, peeled (regular Red Onion/Kanda/Pyaaz)
5 Sambhar Onions, peeled  (available as Red Shallots, if you’re living outside India. Yes you need them and no you cannot substitute them)
5 medium-sized cloves of Garlic, peeled
Leaves from 10 Stems of Kadipatta (Curry Leaves) 
1 heaped Tbsp Fenugreek Seeds /Methi Dana
(Soak Methi seeds for 4-5 hours.  Drain the water post soaking, pat dry and use)
 
Method:
Chop the onions and garlic and roughly rip the curry leaves.
Add ALL the ingredients, EXCEPT the Coconut Oil, to a mixie and grind it to a fine paste WITHOUT adding any water to it.
In a Kadhai ( I used a cast iron Kadhai, but you could use a regular one ) first, add the oil and then add the paste to it and mix well.
Switch on the flame and stir as you let the oil come to a boil with the paste in it.
Lower the flame to a simmer and let it cook till the onion/garlic/kadipatta mixture darkens, as shown in the picture below (it took me 10-15 minutes)
P:S: Concentrate on the mix which should darken. The Oil DOES NOT turn black.
Switch off the flame, cover, and keep aside overnight.
Strain and use.
P:S: After I poured the Oil through a strainer I let the mixture sit in it for an hour, till every drop of the oil had left the mixture. Strain the mixture as best as you can, using your hands or the back of a spoon to squeeze out the maximum amount of oil from it. Discard the mixture after you get out the oil. Do not use the mixture.
 
You need to store the prepared Oil in a cool, dark place away from sunlight. Mix well before each application.
You could store it in a glass container or a plastic one, it does not matter. I store mine in a plastic bottle.
If you live in a place that is hot and humid it is better to refrigerate the Oil, take out how much you need, thaw it/warm it and use it.
I have no idea about the shelf life of the oil as I use up whatever I make.
Both Men and Women can use this Hair Oil. You could use it on children at your own discretion.
 
The Oil DOES smell strange, so you could add a few drops of essential oil to a portion of it before applying. Click To TweetApply the Oil to your hair, leave it on overnight, and shampoo the next day. Use twice a week, for best results.

This is the color the blended ingredients, Onion, Shallots, Garlic pods, Curry Leaves, and Methi Seeds, should turn to after boiling in Oil. Mine took about 10-15 minutes of boiling to change color from green to brown.

        I have tried a mixture like this before but instead of using onion I have used castor oil, so was wondering if I can use onions with castor oil this time.

          Hey! It’s a wonderful recipe and I used sarso oil instead of coconut as it works better for my hair and added 25% non refined castor oil and few drops of rosemary to the ready oil…. it has added gloss to my hair and my hair are now frizz free even without using a conditioner after shampooing!! It’s a great recipe!!!

          Plus because of sarso my hair are now naturally healthy brown as I don’t like really black hair thank you for the recipe Mayuri!!

            Hi Fareen. Thanks for dropping by my blog.
            We are using the Coconut Oil externally here, so we don’t need to worry about it retaining it’s nutritive properties. Boiling it with teh other ingrdients is an important step, a doing so leads the oil to absorb the properties of all other ingredients that go in it. Hope this helps.

    Thank you for sharing this recipe with me. My first thoughts were the same – chutney mix! Once it was made, I was smelling food thoughts the whole day as it smelt divine then. Once applied to the head; the smell gets nauseating – so yes essential oil is a must (Thank you for helping me search the EO that day)
    I have used it 3-4 times and my hairfall had a remarkable change since first application only. Now hair only comes out the day I massage my hair.
    Earlier I was waking up with hair on my pillow, drains clogged after a bath/hairwash and hair on my clothes too!
    My hairdresser commented on my hair looking really fuller when I went for a haircut recently!
    Thank you so much for this oilt recipe.
    I will make more in a few weeks; probably minus the sambhar onions as we dont get them in delhi – havent seen them here!

My hair holds straight and silky even without a conditioner. I can’t thank you enough for this. I have not brushed my hair in an entire day but still my hair is straight and tangle free. I love it.

        Hi Ruchika,
        As long as the mixture didn’t get burnt the color of the oil doesn’t matter. If it smells burnt I would suggest not using it.

    Thanks for this recipe Mayuri. Hair fall is always my number one concern. And I am too scared to try anything which is not natural with the fear I may lose the rest. Should try ur natural recipe and I hope to see some good results.

          Hi Kirti,
          You need not have waited so long. You only have to wait, and stir as you do, till the mixture starts changing color from bright green to brown.

          If the oil smells burnt, you shouldn’t use it.

    I added a few drops of lavender oil, but the onion smell is too strong and overpowers all the other smell.

        Hey, I am using it from last 4 weeks, applied twice in a week. I can see hair fall has reduced, hoping to see hair growth as yours. Instead of keeping it overnight , I am keeping it for one hour and then wash it off. Do you think keeping it overnight would have been resulted better .

          Yes, I see hairfall when applying and then post wash as well. I would say 50 to 80 strands each time. But i see, and feel double the hair growth. I have been applying the Oil once a week , leaving it overnight, since February.

      The Oil will NOT tun black. The mixture of the ingredients will turn dark brown, lending the colour to the oil.It does not take 30-40 minutes either, maybe you burnt it? I am a little surprised at your feedback, I guess it hasn’t suited you. Please discontinue use.

    I have been reading about this recipe post of yours online since forever. And I kept telling myself I need to try it, try it. I am obsessed with haircare. And extremely particular – all oils are mostly cottage industry recipes packaged (yeah that mad). This one I am DEFINITELY going to cry – for one I trust you and second I used coconut oil as base on hair (or Olive- but this is fine).

    I have one question though – what is sambhar onions? I don’t know.. what should I ask for? P.S I am in India 😛

    Hi Mayuri… thanks alot for sharing this recipe, it really is a miracle oil. 1year after giving birth I started losing hair and it never stopped. My hair would come off every time I brush it and when I’m washing hair bunches of hair would be washing down with water, that’s a horrible sight.
    And then finding hair everywhere in the house is another frustrating thing.
    I tried this oil on Friday night and next morning when I’m brushing my bed hair only few strands came off, I was overwhelmed with joy and surprise. And then no more hair fall while brushing or around the house. ALL THIS JUST AFTER FIRST USE.
    I applied the oil again last night and this morning… not even one strand came off while brushing it’s not just like magic… it’s like black magic… can’t thank you enough.
    *I used parachute coconut oil and I don’t have shallots at home so I made the oil without them.
    * I accidentally chopped some ginger as well (all those curry ingredients made me do it) but luckily I checked the recipe just before grinding the paste and removed it

    Hi Mayuri, I am so glad to have stumbled upon this anti-hairfall oil recipe. Just wanted to ask one thing – can I make the oil without red shallots? They are not available in my city, even the frozen ones are not available

      Hi Prajakta. A lot of people have the same issue as you, unavailability of red shallots, and went ahead and made the oil without them, and got the same results. Do try it, I would say.

    but there was lot of foam on the top..I thought it was moisture so it has to settle down.or else the oil may rancid after sometime…so if the colour changes but the lot of foam remains is it fine…n one more query do I have to store continuously or just in between is enough

      The foam has no role to play 🙂 You only need to watch out to see that the mixture is changing color. When it changes from green to brown, that is when you know it is done.
      If you live in a place that is hot and humid, you will need to refrigerate it throughout. If the place is cool and dry, then you don’t need to, and you can store it outside.

    Hello, my hair falls out more when I shampoo after oiling my hair and scalp with coconut oil. I think it’s because I have oily scalp and the oil made it worse? What was the condition of your scalp when you tried this? Is it oily scalp?

    After leaving this overnight, when you wash it off, do you experience more hair fall? How much more? And how much hair fall do you experience on non-oiled days (for comparison so that I get an idea of what’s normal)?

    Do you apply the oil directly to your scalp using a dropper and then massaging it in or do you just apply the oil to your hair?

    Thank you for sharing the recipe and the clear instructions. I hope it works for me… but I’m worried that it will cause more hair to fall out and I can’t afford to do that >.< So please let me know your thoughts, especially about the condition of your scalp and whether you apply the oil and massage it directly into your scalp! Thank you very much!!

    I’ve made this recipe using sarso oil with regular onions, as I get tangle and rough hair with coconut oil… I added about 100 grams castor oil to it post frying the ingredients… I’ve been using it for 2 weeks now, I think the texture has gone up 100%. My hair is now mostly tangle free and very smooth and shiny, but I don’t see a remarkable change in hair fall… waiting for new hair growth to strengthen my resolve as Nobody in my family even eats onion and garlic so the smell is quite troublesome… will keep you posted in case of a positive result…

      Hi Yogita.
      Yes, I have been using this Hair Oil for over 3 years now.
      If your hair loss is not due to some scalp related infection or any other issue, then regular application of this oil will surely help you.
      Please follow the recipe and the instructions carefully.
      I apply it twice a week.

          Hi Rachana.
          I have shared the recipe of the Hair Oil and can only further share that I use it twice a week and I am happy with the results.
          I have no view on the other methods you mentioned.

    Hi Mayuri. Just came through your post today and it sounds amazing. I am curious to know if you are still using this oil for yourself from past 3+ years? Did it gave a huge result for your hair after that prolonged use? Hope you don’t mind my qstn.

      Hi Nithia,
      This is the only Hair Oil I use ever since I started making it. My frequency dwindles when I travel, but it is still giving me the same results, smooth, shiny, thick hair.

      The oil will make you smell like a walking Biryani:) Would advise you against using it to the office 🙂

      Hi Teja,
      It has worked for a few and not for anothers. The best way to find out if it works for you is by trying it out. You won’t regret it as this Oil has many other great properties:)

    Hi!
    I’m confused about the onions. The tiny ones pictured are pearl onions and the shallots are a bit bigger at the store- sort of between a pearl onion and red onion. Which is the best? The tiny red pearl onions or larger milder shallots?

      Whichever onions you can get where you live. Pearl Onions, if available.
