Ingredients
- A handful of fresh papaya leaves (10–15 medium-sized leaves)
- 1 cup of coconut oil (or olive oil)
- 1 tablespoon castor oil (optional, for extra hair growth boost)
- A clean glass jar or bottle with a lid
- A strainer or cheesecloth
Instructions
- Wash the Leaves:
Rinse the papaya leaves thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or dust. - Crush or Blend:
Chop the leaves into small pieces or blend them to extract more juice. - Extract the Juice:
Using a clean cloth or strainer, squeeze or press the blended papaya leaves to extract the juice. You should get about ½ cup of concentrated juice. - Prepare the Oil:
Pour the coconut oil into a pan and heat it on low flame. Add the papaya leaf juice to the oil. Stir well. - Infuse:
Let the mixture simmer for about 5–10 minutes on very low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. - Cool and Strain:
Remove from heat and allow the oil to cool completely. Strain it using a cheesecloth or fine sieve to remove any leaf particles. - Add Castor Oil (Optional):
If using, add 1 tablespoon of castor oil to the mixture for extra nourishment. Stir to combine. - Store:
Pour the oil into a clean, dry glass jar or bottle. Seal tightly. - Application:
- Apply this papaya leaf oil generously to your scalp and hair before bed.
- Massage gently for 5–10 minutes to stimulate blood circulation.
- Cover your hair with a shower cap or towel to avoid staining pillows.
- Leave it overnight.
- Wash Off:
In the morning, wash your hair with a mild herbal shampoo. Repeat this 2–3 times a week for visible results.
