DIY Borage and Coconut Oil Hair Growth Treatment for 4C Hair

 

This nourishing blend is perfect for 4C hair. It deeply moisturizes, strengthens, and promotes growth while combating breakage and dryness.

Ingredients:

•   1/2 cup coconut oil (deeply hydrates and softens)
•   2 tablespoons borage oil (rich in fatty acids to strengthen hair and soothe scalp)
•   10 drops of lavender essential oil (promotes growth and relaxation)

Directions:

1. Melt Coconut Oil: If your coconut oil is solid, gently melt it in a double boiler or microwave for a few seconds until it becomes liquid.

2. Mix Ingredients: In a clean bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, borage oil, and lavender essential oil. Stir well to create a smooth, even blend.

3. Store: Pour the mixture into an airtight glass container or jar. Store in a cool, dark place to preserve its potency.

How to Use:

1. Pre-Wash Treatment:

• Apply the blend to your hair and scalp, focusing on the ends and dry areas.

• Gently massage your scalp for 5-10 minutes to stimulate blood flow and encourage growth.

• Cover with a plastic cap and leave it on for 30 minutes or overnight for deep conditioning.

• Wash out with a sulfate-free shampoo and condition as usual.

2. Sealant:

• Use a small amount to seal in moisture after applying your leave-in conditioner or cream.

• Focus on the ends to prevent breakage and add shine.

Why This Recipe Works for 4C Hair:

• Coconut Oil: Penetrates the hair shaft, reducing protein loss and preventing dryness.

• Borage Oil: Provides omega-6 fatty acids to improve hair elasticity and combat brittleness.

• Lavender Essential Oil: Boosts hair growth, soothes the scalp, and leaves your hair smelling amazing.

Use this treatment weekly to keep your 4C hair healthy, hydrated, and flourishing!
