Top 5 oils for fast hair growth

Since ancient times, girls all over the world have used oils to strengthen and restore hair. This article contains the most effective oils specifically for accelerating hair growth.

Oils are natural hair growth stimulants. They contain all the necessary nutrients (vitamins, minerals, micro and macro elements, amino acids ...) for the health and beauty of hair!

When choosing a hair oil, pay attention to quality first. High-quality oil cannot be cheap, choose unrefined and cold-pressed oils as well.

The most effective oils for fast hair growth:

1. Sea buckthorn oil

Sea buckthorn oil is obtained from the fruits of the sea buckthorn bush, a rich orange oil with a pronounced aroma, thick in consistency.

Sea buckthorn oil contains a record amount of vitamin A, which accelerates the regeneration of skin cells and accelerates hair growth, thanks to the still high content of vitamin C, strengthens the hair follicles, and makes hair soft and elastic. The oil protects hair from UV rays due to its high vitamin E content. Suitable for dry, damaged, brittle and weak hair.

This oil gave me unrealistic growth for my hair (4 cm per month, when usually my hair grows at a rate of 1 cm per month! No other oil has given such a result). I used it for 1 month, applied it 2 times a week, only on the hair roots in combination with a tincture of red pepper (1 tablespoon of oil and 2 tablespoons of tincture). The oil is difficult to wash off the hair, you need to wash it off 2-3 times with shampoo, but the result is worth it.

2. Mustard oil

The benefits of mustard oil for hair have been known for a long time, but today for some reason they are a little forgotten.

Mustard oil is a powerful natural hair growth promoter. It enhances blood flow to the scalp, regulates the sebaceous glands (great for oily hair), helps with hair loss, the oil also saturates the hair follicles with the necessary nutrients and oxygen, stimulates the activity of the hair follicles and thus the hair begins to grow rapidly.

The oil has a warming effect, you should feel warm after application.

Mustard oil can be added to any hair mask, or used in its pure form (apply to the scalp with massage movements, insulate and leave for 2 hours). The oil is suitable for weak, brittle and lifeless hair that quickly turns oily.

If you want not only to quickly grow your hair, but also to give it thickness and elasticity, then this oil is for you.

3. Castor oil

The oil awakens the hair follicles, saturates the hair follicles with its nutrients and thus provokes increased hair growth. The oil improves blood flow in the scalp and nutrients are delivered to the hair faster. Castor oil not only accelerates hair growth, but also increases hair density and improves the appearance of hair.

With the help of castor oil, you can get rid of many hair problems: hair loss, elimination of dry and brittle hair, dandruff, and of course, accelerate hair growth. The oil is poorly washed off the hair, so I do not recommend using it for length, especially since there are many better oils for length (olive, coconut, cocoa butter, avocado, argan ...).

Castor oil shows good results in combination with red pepper tincture, detailed recipe, you can see here.

4. Burdock oil

Burdock oil is obtained from the roots of burdock, which has been used for a long time in hair care. Burdock oil enhances blood circulation in the scalp, nourishes and strengthens hair roots, helps with hair loss, dandruff, relieves itching of the scalp, restores weak and damaged hair structure and, of course, most importantly, accelerates hair growth.

My trichologist dissuaded me from using burdock oil on the scalp, she justified this by the fact that it clogs the pores and my weakened hair will fall out even more.

5. Flaxseed oil

Flaxseed oil is extracted from flaxseed, which has many medicinal properties due to its composition. The oil is non-greasy and spreads well through the hair and rinses off easily.

Flaxseed oil has a high biological value. Flax seeds contain a large amount of vitamin F. The oil improves cell metabolism, improves skin condition, relieves dandruff, dryness and split ends, and also activates hair follicles, so it is often added to masks for hair growth and strengthening.

With regular use of the oil, the hair becomes shiny, smooth and well-groomed. Linseed oil is suitable for all hair types, it can be used both in masks and in pure form, the oil does not clog the pores of the scalp.

How best to use oils:

Before applying the oil to the scalp or to the length, it must be heated in a water bath, and after application, it must be insulated with plastic wrap and a warm cap (if you visit a sauna or bath, do not forget to bring the oil with you).

Leave the oil on your hair for at least 1.5 - 2 hours, and if possible, leave it overnight. The oil can be further enriched by adding essential oils that accelerate growth and more (bey, rosemary, tea tree, lemon, orange, ylang-ylang). Oil wraps can be done 2-3 times a week, and to maintain the effect, it is enough to apply once a week and do not forget to take breaks so as not to overload the hair.

All of these oils can be added to homemade hair growth masks. More details about such masks can be found in this article: Homemade masks for fast hair growth... Most masks for rapid hair growth are based on components that cause temporary irritation of the scalp: tincture of red pepper, mustard, cinnamon, onion, honey ... After applying the mask, heat or even burning occurs, blood flow to the hair follicles improves dramatically, dormant hair follicles awaken and hair growth is activated.
