DIY Vitamin Hair Oil Recipe
Vitamin capsules like vitamin E can be mixed with hair oil to make it more nourishing, support a healthier scalp, reduce breakage-related hair fall, and create better conditions for hair growth when used correctly. The key is to use the right vitamins, dilute them well in carrier oils, and apply them consistently but in moderation.​
Why add vitamins to oil?
-
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative damage in the scalp, improves blood circulation, and can protect follicles, supporting healthier hair growth and reduced hair thinning.​
-
Mixed with oils like coconut, castor, or olive oil, vitamin E also adds moisture, reduces dryness and flakes, and can make hair softer and shinier.​
Best vitamins to use in oil
-
Vitamin E capsules (tocopherol):
-
Help improve scalp circulation, protect hair from oxidative stress, and may reduce hair fall linked to damage.​
-
Work especially well when combined with coconut, argan, or castor oil as a base.​
-
-
Biotin and other hair vitamins:
-
Biotin is widely marketed for hair, but research shows its benefit mostly in true deficiency, not for everyone.​
-
For many people, focusing on vitamin E in oil plus a balanced diet and necessary supplements (vitamin D, iron, etc.) under medical guidance is more realistic.​

DIY vitamin hair oil recipe
You can turn this into a simple, article-style remedy your audience can follow.
-
Take 3–4 tablespoons of a carrier oil like coconut, almond, or a mix with a little castor oil for extra thickness.​
-
Pierce 1–2 vitamin E capsules (usually 400 mg each) and squeeze the liquid into the oil, then mix well so it is fully diluted.​
-
Warm the mixture slightly using the double-boiler method so it becomes pleasantly lukewarm, not hot, to improve spread and absorption.
How to apply for hair fall and growth
-
Section the hair and massage the vitamin-infused oil gently into the scalp for 5–10 minutes to boost circulation around the follicles.​
-
Apply the remaining oil through the lengths of your hair to reduce dryness and split ends, which indirectly reduces breakage-related hair fall.
-
Leave it on for 1–2 hours or overnight if your scalp tolerates oils well, then shampoo with a mild cleanser; repeat 1–2 times a week for best results.​
How this helps hair fall and growth
-
Antioxidant protection from vitamin E can reduce damage to follicle cells caused by pollution, heat styling, and UV, helping maintain stronger strands.​
-
Carrier oils like coconut and castor oil penetrate the hair shaft, reduce protein loss, and keep the scalp moisturised, which supports a healthier environment for new growth.​
-
Regular massage with this blend may slow excess shedding linked to dryness and minor oxidative stress, though severe or sudden hair loss still needs medical evaluation.
