Kalonji / black seed / Nigella Sativa Oil

I saw this and remembered that it had been mentioned here so i brought 2 bottles. Anyway, what i'm curious about really is i suppose the usual......what results have people had? What do we know about this oil in terms of hair growth? My main question though is do you use it neat or do you dilute it? Ideally i'd like to use it diluted just so it lasts longer as getting to the Indian grocers doesn't happen regularly for me, but i'm perfectly happy to use it neat if that's how it works best.

I use it just straight cause if you dilute it then it loses its properties. In Pakistan they sometimes mix with lemon juice and henna that way you get a hair pack it works good that way too.

Good to know. I got a small bottle of this recently to try after hearing praises of it from you. I have the Kama neeli oil to finish still but this will be after.

Yeah you know I dont lose hair at all anymore just normal amount and normal to me is like a couple of hairs a day. So yeah it works great,I use it only 3 times a week, thats all thats needed.

I will plan for that routine too then, thanks.

It's good to hear about the shedding reduction. I may save this specifically for September then, when I have my early shed.

I really need to get some of this stuff!!!! I'm been swooning over it lately. lol I've been searching around, and thinking about getting some of the vitamin pills, along with shampoo and conditioner that has black seed oil in it.

(from www.sweetsunnah.com) Anyone try these, along with the use of the oil?

Thanks for the tips, i'll use it neat and see how it goes

I've not actually used it on my hair yet, but i have included it in a oil mix i made up for my dads injured shoulder and that helped dramatically.
It's a very thick oil, i can't really describe the smell but it's not unpleasant
