Cardamom Follicle Growth Serum: How to Make & Use for Thicker Hair
If you’re tired of seeing those thin or bald spots on your scalp and nothing seems to help, you’ve gotta try this natural cardamom hair serum. It’s super easy to whip up at home, and all you need is a couple of basic ingredients. I’ve been making this for a while now, and honestly, the results can surprise you!
Why Cardamom for Hair Growth?
Cardamom’s full of antioxidants and essential oils that help wake up those sleepy hair follicles. It smells kinda fresh and spicy, too, which is always a plus. Mix it in a serum with a lightweight oil and it’ll soak right in, giving your scalp that boost it really needs.
What You’ll Need
Here’s the simple stuff for your DIY serum:
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Green cardamom pods | 10–12 pods | Fresh is best, don’t use powder |
| Lightweight oil | 100ml (3.4oz) | Argan, jojoba, or grapeseed works |
| Clean glass dropper bottle | 1 bottle | Make sure it’s totally dry inside |
| Funnel (optional) | — | For easy pouring |
How To Make The Cardamom Hair Serum
Follow these steps, it’s really just a 5-minute job (plus some wait time):
Step 1: Prep the Cardamom
- Grab your pods and split them open, either with your fingers or the flat side of a knife. You want those tiny seeds exposed—don’t crush them, just open.
- The more you open them, the more the oil gets infused.
Step 2: Fill the Bottle
- Drop all the opened pods right into your clean glass bottle.
- Pour your chosen lightweight oil over the pods, filling up the bottle but leaving a little room at the top.
Step 3: Infuse
- Put the lid on and shake gently.
- Leave the bottle somewhere warm (but not in direct sunlight) for at least 2–3 days. A week is even better if you can wait that long.
- Give it a gentle shake once a day.
Step 4: It’s Ready!
- After a few days, you’ll notice the oil has a slight golden color and a cardamom scent. That’s when you know it’s ready to use.
How To Use It for Hair Growth
You wanna use this serum right. Here’s what works:
Massage Routine
- How Often:
3 times a week (pick days that fit your routine) - How Long:
5 minutes each time is perfect
Steps:
- Use the dropper to put a few drops of serum on any thinning or bald spots.
- With your fingertips, massage the oil gently into your scalp, using little circular motions. Don’t rub too hard!
- Let it sit for at least an hour. Overnight is fine if you’re washing your hair in the morning.
- Wash with your usual mild shampoo. Repeat regularly and you’ll start to see baby hairs peeking in those patches.
Tips & Real Talk
- Don’t skip the massage—this is what boosts blood flow and wakes up those follicles.
- If you notice any itching, check your oil and cardamom for freshness (some people have allergies, so always patch test first).
- Store your serum in a cool, dry spot. It’ll last a couple months if you keep it clean.
- Results ain’t instant, but with patience, a lot of ladies have seen new growth in about a month.

A drop of rosemary oil can boost things, but keep it simple at first to see how your scalp likes it.
