Materials

Main Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons aloe vera gel Pure, with no heavy fragrance if possible
  • 1 teaspoon black seed oil A nourishing oil that seals in moisture
  • 1 teaspoon lightweight carrier oil Jojoba, argan, or sweet almond

Optional Ingredients

  • 2-3 drops rosemary essential oil For scalp circulation, add if scalp tolerates it

Instructions

Preparation

  • Put the aloe vera gel in a small bowl.
  • Slowly drizzle in the black seed oil while whisking with a spoon or mini whisk.
  • Add the carrier oil and keep stirring for 60 to 90 seconds.
  • If using rosemary essential oil, add it at the end and stir again.

Application

  • Use on damp hair after washing. Rub a pea-sized amount between palms and smooth over the ends first.
  • Lightly coat the mid-lengths with whatever is left on your hands.
  • For scalp massage, dab a very small amount onto the scalp and massage gently for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Do not overapply, especially if your scalp gets oily quickly or your hair is fine.

Notes

For best results, use this cream 2 to 4 times a week. It is suitable if your hair feels dry, your scalp gets irritated easily, or you prefer a lighter leave-in option.
