    Can I use a mixture of oils for my hair?
    I am 23. My hair is too thin and also it is graying. It is not hereditory as I had pretty good volume before.

    I heard about various oils and their benefits. I wanted to try a Ayurvedic recipe on my hair. But before that I want to be sure I don't mess up with it.

    Can I use a mixture of Almond oil, Coconut oil, Olive oil, Mustard oil, Rosemary oil and Castor oil. To this I would like to add amla powder, shikakai powder, curry leaves, methi powder and hibiscus flowers. I would boil this mixture, strain it and keep it in a bottle for application.

    I would like to know if I am not using any ingredient that would harm my hair in any way. Also I would like to know the quantity in which I can mix them

    Thanks :)

    First you need to find the reason WHY your hair is thinning if it's not hereditary.

    I would say no,
    Even though all those things are good for you hair
    Mixing them all together and using them in your hair won't turn out to well.
    If the issue is volume I would say try Suave extra hold shaping mousse.
    Its never to stiff or sticky in your hair and it has vitamin & protein that replenishes all hair types and it gives it the perfect volume you could deal with.
    And its also cheap!
    You can also try curl scrunch my Mother after having lung cancer and her hair thining out allot used this and it worked wonders gave it the volume she wanted while looking good Its by Garnier fructis You can buy them from any local walmart
    Good Luck

    Using cheap a bunch of cheap mousse or hairspray won't really fix the problem either. It might work as a band aid. But J is right, you need to find out what's causing the problem to fix it. Start by talking to your doctor. It might be something as simple as you just need to add more or less of something to your diet. But you really need to talk to your doctor to make sure there's no serious issue behind this.

    And you know there's not way to fix it how? We don't even know what's causing the problem. There's no possible way for us to know what's causing the problem. And there's no way for us to know that it can't be fixed.
