Like many of us, I also grew up thinking if I grease my hair until I was able to fry chicken on it, it would grow. I had a friend in elementary school who would even put baby lotion in her hair because she was convinced it would make her hair grow. I learned in college about natural and essential oils that can contribute to healthy hair growth and length retention. Here are 4 oils for healthy hair growth:

jojoba oil

1. Jojoba Oil

Found in the southwestern part of the country and Mexico, it’s been used for centuries to moisturize and grow hair and can be purchased at your local hair store. Regular usage of jojoba oil makes the hair shiny, frizz free, prevents dandruff, and hair shedding. The oil can either applied directly to your hair or added to your favorite conditioner and stimulate growth.

sesame oil

2. Sesame Oil

Is used as a base oil in countless ayurvedic recipes for hair growth, like bhringraj oil. Since it’s anti-microbial, it can treat a lot of scalp and fungal infections. It’s best used when used as a hot oil treatment because it conditions the hair, nourishes the scalp, rids the hair of dandruff, and stimulates hair growth because of the vitamin E in it.

lavender oil

3. Lavender Oil

For centuries, lavender has been used to prevent baldness and stimulate hair growth because it has anti-bacterial agents that soothe and heal scalp infections, it can be used for dandruff, and is volumizing. A few pieces of lavender flower can be placed in a glass container with EVOO and covered tightly and put in a cool spot for 3-4 weeks and use it as a daily scalp massage. In the morning, wash and style hair as usual.

 

bhrin oil

4. Bhringraj Oil

Bhringraj oil is made from mixing Eclipta alba or False Daisy with sesame oil. According to ayurvedic principles, the oil can treat pitta(one of three doshas; controls digestion, metabolism, and energy transformation) imbalances, which can lead to problems with the hair. Because of that, the oil is the solution for reducing shedding, preventing premature greying, increasing thickness and faster hair growth.

    I may need your help. I’ve been doing research on gate io recently, and I’ve tried a lot of different things. Later, I read your article, and I think your way of writing has given me some innovative ideas, thank you very much.
