Good for: brittle hair, breakage, fine hair that snaps easily.
Evening Primrose Oil Capsules
These are full of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), a fatty acid your scalp uses to regulate oil production. If your scalp is either too dry
or producing too much sebum, EPO can help balance it out.
Squeeze 3–4 capsules into your base oil. It has a faint nutty smell that disappears once you rinse.
Good for: flaky scalp, oily roots with dry ends, itchy scalp.
Garlic Oil Capsules
Yes, the smell is real. But garlic has sulfur compounds that improve blood circulation in the scalp, and sulfur is one of the building blocks of the keratin your hair is made of.
If you can manage leaving it on overnight with a shower cap, add 2–3
garlic oil capsules to castor oil and massage it into the scalp. Wash with a clarifying shampoo in the morning. The smell clears up after a thorough wash.
