Jeera in hair oil interesting?

[Diamondbell]

Jeera (Cumin seeds) actually enhances blackening of the hair - some people just boil jeera in coconut oil and use it as a hair darkener (I read this somewhere - don't know if it is true)

I've read that too in a few places.....and what a lovely smell to add to a hair oil. Thanks for the recipe
