hair oil at home

Half a litre of coconut oil with a fistful of curry and neem leaves, a few dried hibiscus flower, plus some fenugreek seeds, camphor and amla powder. Without straining the oil, apply it to get dark, lush hair.

Be it food or beauty, we now look for the purest ingredients that haven’t been adulterated with pesticides or preservatives. Creating our own oils, mixing masks, using product that take time but promise purity, are more important then instantaneous result. In fact, as we now know, instant anything can be dangerous, be it love, success or a packet of noodles. There’s more merit in being slow. After all, creating a ritual is the ultimate luxury in a world that’s pressed for time.
