Hair growth serum

DIY hair serum (+ my most unhinged hair growth hack)
So I personally don't like to oil the length of my hair for various reasons, unfortunately it just isn't the best for my hair. I think it might have to do with hair porosity. But I still want the benefits of hair oiling bcs it is insane for hair growth mashaaAllah. That's why I focus on scalp-oiling instead, it is much easier to wash out as opposed to oiling the full length of your hair.
I believe the best oils for the scalp (not the length!) are the following:
Castor oil
Peanut oil
Argan oil
Sesame oil
Pumpkin seed oil
Jojoba oil
A little bit of black seed oil
For 50ml I aim for 4-10 drops of essential oils, depending on how sensitive your scalp is. 15 drops is the max in my experience.
1 drop mint essential oil
3 drops lavender essential oil
5 drops rosemary essential oil
I think it is easiest if you have an applicator like a roll-on or a fine pump bottle where you can put it directly on the scalp when sectioning your hair.
Okay now to the unhinged hair growth hack. It is super controversial and parts of the internet would insult me for it.
But basically it is scalp exfoliation followed by scalp oiling, but I do it like this: I take a bath and soak my head underwater for like 25min and then I gently run my fingernails over my scalp. I don't scratch my skin. But rather I drag them over the skin at a 35° angle or even so that the fingers are almost parallel to the scalp, so you don't damage the skin. Then I wash my hair and afterwards apply my hair serum on the scalp.
Btw the bathwater, don't use any bathingsalts bcs it messes up your hair texture! Instead, I focus on detoxing the scalp by adding Ghassoul (or any clay) and Sidr powder to it.
My non-controversial hairgrowth hack: every night before going to sleep let your head hang down your bed and put your legs up in the air. This helps with lympathic drainage and bloodcirculation. Bonus, if you can massage your scalp with Gua Sha tools, especially the acupuncture point Du20:
