how to use kalonji seeds for hair growth - #22564

Aditya

I am really curious about how to use kalonji seeds for hair growth. My hair has been thinning out like crazy for the last few months, and I’ve tried a bunch of products that just haven’t worked. A friend mentioned kalonji seeds and swears by them, claiming they saw an amazing difference! I decided to do a bit of research and find out more about how to use kalonji seeds for hair growth. Can I just sprinkle them on my scalp or do I need to make some kind of oil? Also, how often should I use kalonji seeds for hair growth to actually see results? And do I need to mix it with something else, like coconut oil or something? My scalp can get kinda itchy too, and I'm worried if I use kalonji seeds, it'll make it worse. Looking for tips on how to use kalonji seeds for hair growth, especially if someone here has had some real experience with this. I do really hope this works because I hate how my hair is right now – it's flat and dry, and the thinning makes it even worse! Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Kalonji seeds, also known as black seed or Nigella sativa, have been traditionally used in various cultures for hair growth, thanks to their potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. While scientific research is still somewhat limited, certain studies suggest that they might promote hair growth by improving scalp health and affecting hair follicles. To use kalonji seeds for hair growth, one common method is to create a hair oil. You can make it by grinding the kalonji seeds into a fine powder, then mixing it with a carrier oil like coconut oil or olive oil, which are also beneficial for hair. To prepare the oil, heat around a tablespoon of kalonji seed powder with about a cup of your chosen oil on low flame for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the seeds’ essence to infuse into the oil. Let it cool and strain before use. Apply this oil directly to your scalp, gently massaging for about 10-15 minutes to stimulate circulation. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight for deeper penetration, before washing with a mild shampoo. As for frequency, using kalonji oil 2-3 times a week should be sufficient. There’s no solid research indicating improved results with more frequent use. If your scalp is itchy, mixing kalonji oil with coconut oil can indeed be soothing since coconut oil has moisturizing properties. Always perform a patch test on a small area of your scalp first to ensure there’s no allergic reaction. However, it’s essential to consider underlying causes of hair thinning, such as hormonal imbalances or nutritional deficiencies, which might need medical attention. If there’s severe thinning or rapid change, consulting with a healthcare provider is recommended to rule out any underlying conditions.
