What You'll Need

Step-by-Step

  1. In a clean steel pan, gently warm 100ml Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil on the LOWEST possible heat. The oil should be warm enough to feel hot to touch but never bubble or smoke (around 60-70°C / 140-160°F).
  2. Add 3 tbsp Amla Powder and 1 tbsp Bhringraj Powder. Stir continuously to prevent the powders from sticking to the bottom.
  3. Let infuse on the lowest heat for 20 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes. The oil will turn a deep amber-brown as the herbs release their actives. Do NOT boil — this destroys the active compounds and burns the herbs.
  4. Remove from heat. Cover and let cool completely at room temperature (about 1-2 hours). The herbs continue to infuse as it cools.
  5. Strain through a fine muslin cloth into a clean 120ml amber glass bottle. Squeeze the cloth firmly to extract maximum oil. Discard the herb residue.
  6. To use: warm the bottle slightly between palms. Apply 1 tbsp directly to the scalp using fingertips or a dropper. Massage gently for 10 minutes.
  7. Cover with a shower cap. Leave overnight on a satin pillowcase (or 2 hours minimum).
  8. Wash out next morning with a sulfate-free shampoo. May need 2 washes.
  9. Frequency: 2 times a week. Visible reduction in greying and improved scalp health within 8-12 weeks.
  10. Storage: Cool, dark place. Shelf life: 4-6 months.

Pro Tips
