Why Oil?
Essential oils for hair growth have different kinds of amazing benefits that can soften and grow hair the natural way. You can choose the oils depending on your hair type, and even the aroma you like.
3 Essential Oils that work for Hair Growth
Lavender Oil
If you want an oil that has a refreshing and sweet scent, Lavender should be your best bet. Lavender provides deep relaxation with it’s calming scent. When used into the scalp, the moisturizing, antimicrobial and antiseptic properties can prevent hair loss and promote hair growth. If you are suffering from dandruff, Lavender oil can also help. To make a soothing hair mask, in a bowl, add 8-10 drops of Lavender essential oils and 4 teaspoons of carrier oil. Mix and massage into your scalp. To maximize the mask’s benefits, leave it in overnight (use a shower cap to not stain your pillowcase). In the morning, wash it and apply conditioner. Rinse your conditioner and towel dry.
Rosemary Oil
For those who love minty scents, choose Rosemary. The minty and woodsy scent of Rosemary can give you an instant sensory boost. Packed with antioxidants, it can address issues like hair thinning and hair fall. This essential oil is good at promoting blood circulation and thus, perfect for hair follicle stimulation. It can also be used for dandruff and scalp itch relief. If you are pregnant however, it is not recommended to use Rosemary oil. To make your homemade blend heat 3 teaspoons of olive oil and mix in 10 drops of Rosemary oil. Mix and apply to your hair. Leave it on for 30 minutes. Rinse with shampoo and conditioner. This treatment is great to do once every month.
Cedarwood Essential Oil
Based upon research, Cedarwood oil mixed with Lavender, Rosemary and Thyme can effectively reverse the effects of Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune skin disease resulting in hair loss. Another great benefit of cedarwood aside from treating hair loss is it balances the oil production of the scalp. It also has antibacterial properties to treat fungal problems in the scalp. To create your hair treatment, add two tablespoons of coconut oil with 3 drops of cedarwood essential oil. Mix and massage into your scalp. Leave in for 30 minutes and wash with your favorite shampoo and conditioner.
