I'm not sure about you but hair growth is always a major goal of mine and I swear by oil scalp massages for my hair growth. Hair oils can help to nourish and protect the hair and stimulate the scalp to encourage growth. The ends of your hair are the weakest and need the most care so if you are trying to grow your hair, you will find apply oils to the ends as well will make a big difference. The best hair oils for hair growth are
Coconut oil, Castor Oil and
Avocado Oil. Coconut Oil is best known for its ability to penetrate the hair and it has a high affinity for the proteins in the hair. It also has a low molecular weight and straight linear chain (which most polyunsaturated oils don't) so it can penetrate into the cortex itself. Once it gets there, it can prevent the loss of protein from the hair. Avocado Oil contains vitamins and minerals such as copper, iron, vitamin A, B6, D, and E and has the ability to deeply nourish and strengthen both the hair and the scalp which in turn can create the perfect environment for improved hair growth. As these are carrier oils, a great essential oil to add would be
Lavender Essential Oil. Lavender has properties that can generate the growth of cells and reduce stress, researchers on one animal study found that this oil was able to generate faster hair growth in mice. The power of oils can be enhanced by
Ayurvedic Herbs like Hibiscus Powder to stimulate thicker hair growth and to prevent premature greying.
