Amrita Arora shares mother’s secret hair oil recipe for long, luscious locks: ‘Malla and I have used from childhood’

Amrita Arora recently revealed her mother's long-held hair oil recipe that has contributed to the sisters' lovely hair. Speaking to Pinkvilla, the Bollywood star shared that her mother's blend incorporates equal parts of cold-pressed coconut oil, castor oil, onion, black seed oil, fenugreek seeds, a full onion, hibiscus flower, which is boiled together, then strained and cooled. The sisters have been using this blend since their childhood, according to Amrita.

Dr Pravin Banodkar, co-founder of SkinBB and dermatologist, stated that combining these traditional ingredients may offer antioxidant benefits and help condition the scalp and hair. However, the effectiveness varies, and while the blend can provide hydration and improve shine, there is no scientific evidence it prevents hair loss or delays greying.

Dr Shareefa Chause, another dermatologist, added that the oil may hydrate the hair and improve its shine but that these remedies should not replace medically prescribed treatments and should be used in appropriate concentrations. Both experts recommended performing a patch test and consulting a dermatologist for persistent hair issues.
