Oil Treatment for Hair Growth

The use of essential oil treatments in combination with scalp massage is an effective, all-natural method of promoting hair growth. It works by stimulating blood flow to the scalp and nourishing hair at its roots.

  1. Cedarwood oil

    • Cedarwood oil soothes and conditions the scalp while stimulating hair follicles. It also promotes blood circulation.

    Coconut oil

    • Ayurvedic medicine recommends coconut oil for treating hair conditions due to its gentle, nourishing properties.

    Ylang-ylang oil

    • Ylang-ylang oil stimulates the scalp, regulates the production of sebum and conditions both oily and overly dry hair.

    Preparation

    • Make an at-home hair treatment by combining a drop of cedarwood or ylang-ylang oil with two tablespoons of coconut oil. Alternatively, mix coconut oil with a dash of lime juice.

    Application

    • Thoroughly massage the oil treatment into the scalp and hair and let sit for at least an hour. Use the treatment one to two times a week.

    Warning

    • Women should avoid using cedarwood oil while pregnant.
