Pumpkin Seed Oil Soft Ends Serum

A light ends-only serum for dry-feeling lengths, made with pumpkin seed oil, argan oil and a little aloe for slip without scalp-growth claims.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon pumpkin seed oil
• 3 drops argan oil
• 1 teaspoon aloe vera gel
• 1 teaspoon cooled hibiscus tea or plain water to loosen

Why these ingredients

Pumpkin seed oil and argan oil give light slip and shine, while aloe vera gel helps the blend feel soft rather than greasy. Hibiscus tea is optional and mostly gives a sensory beauty-ritual feel.

How to make and use it

1. Mix the oils in a clean small bowl.
2. Whisk in aloe vera gel until glossy.
3. Add hibiscus tea or water one drop at a time if you want a lighter texture.
4. Rub a pea-size amount between palms and smooth over damp mid-lengths and ends only.
5. Comb gently and style as usual; do not apply to an irritated scalp.

Timing and frequency

Use once weekly or less often if your skin, scalp or hair prefers a simpler rhythm. Homemade mixtures should be made fresh and discarded if the smell or texture changes.

Common mistakes

• Using it on roots and making hair flat.
• Applying too much oil at once.
• Saving a water-containing mixture for more than 24 hours.

Quick checklist

• Patch test first.
• Keep the recipe gentle and short-contact.
• Do not use on broken, irritated or freshly treated skin.
• Stop if it feels uncomfortable.
