• Transfer the finished serum to a dark-glass dropper bottle to protect its antioxidants from light.

• Keep in a cool, dry cabinet and use within six weeks for maximum potency.

Instructions for Use

1. Prep the scalp – On wash-day eve or at least two hours before shampooing, part dry or slightly damp hair into sections.

2. Apply – Dispense 5–8 drops per section, massaging gently from roots to ends for about three minutes to boost circulation.

3. Wrap – For deeper penetration, wrap hair in a warm, damp towel for 15 minutes; heat lifts cuticles and allows nutrients to sink in.

4. Leave-in time – Leave the serum on for at least one hour. For very dry or coarse hair, overnight application gives the best results.

5. Cleanse – Wash twice with a mild, sulphate-free shampoo and follow with a lightweight conditioner.

6. Frequency – Use two to three times weekly for eight weeks. Thereafter, once a week is enough for maintenance.

Extra tips

• Patch-test first if your scalp is sensitive to mineral oil or cloves.

• For oily scalps, halve the baby-oil quantity and rinse promptly.

• Boost natural tinting by stirring in a teaspoon of strong black-tea concentrate—tannins subtly deepen dark hair shades.

• Consistent use is essential. Reduction in new grey strands is typically noticeable after about 12 weeks.

Benefits of the DIY Serum

• Delays premature greying – Curry-leaf antioxidants and clove eugenol protect pigment-producing cells, helping retain natural colour.

• Stimulates growth and thickness – Hibiscus flavonoids and fenugreek proteins lengthen the growth cycle and fortify the hair shaft.

• Seals moisture, cuts breakage – Baby oil forms an occlusive layer that locks hydration inside each strand, reducing split ends.

• Soothes an itchy, inflamed scalp – Aloe-vera polysaccharides and vitamin E calm irritation and support a healthy moisture barrier.

• Adds salon-worthy shine – Mineral oil smooths cuticles instantly, leaving hair glossy and frizz-free.

• Budget-friendly and clean – Uses common kitchen goods, avoiding silicones, parabens and artificial dyes found in many commercial serums.
