For Hair Loss

Hair loss is caused mainly when the hair follicles become weak. This may be due to several reasons like heredity, stress, anxiety, ageing or even hormonal imbalance.

Hair grows faster when there is increased blood circulation in the scalp. Coffee oil helps in improving the blood circulation of the scalp at a faster rate.

This oil is very simple to prepare and use. First choose your favourite oil. It can be coconut oil, olive oil, or any other oil of your choice. Now, add some coffee beans heat it, till the colour changes. Keep stirring the oil, so that it doesn't burn. Turn off the stove. After the oil comes down to the room temperature, sieve the oil and store it in a clean jar for future use.
