Lustrous thick long hair! How do we love them! But hair goes through a lot, be it pollution or humidity, your tresses get affected by a lot of things.
Result?
Hair loss, thin hair or damaged, dry hair!
But don’t worry, we have something that you can add to your hair care routine and bring back your hair strength and enhance hair growth. This magic ingredient is an essential oil!

But what are essential oils?

Well, they are not much different from your regular oils. They are derived from the non-fatty part of the plant like nuts, seeds and kennels. They are volatile and light to touch. Unlike your regular oils, they are not greasy.

Here is a list of some essential oils that you can add to your hair care routine and get your lustrous, thick hair back:

Lavender essential oil

Lavender oil can be effective in boosting the fight against hairfall. It shows antibacterial and antifungal properties and can also help in increasing blood circulation in the scalp. It also increases the number and depth of hair follicles. Additionally, the soothing aroma of lavender essential oil also calms your nerves and has a relaxing effect.
You can mix a few drops of lavender oil with coconut oil and apply the mixture to your hair. Leave it overnight and then rinse it with a mild shampoo. You can also add a few drops of lavender oil to your other hair care products like shampoo and conditioner as well.

Peppermint essential oil

Oh how refreshing it smells! It has a minty impact and bestows a cold and tingling sensation. This increases the blood circulation in the area where it is applied. This specifically helps in enhancing hair growth. It also stimulates the scalp and diminishes dandruff formation. You can mix it with a carrier oil like coconut oil and leave it for 10-15 mins. Rinse it with a mild shampoo and say hello to a healthy mane.

Rosemary essential oil

It is a great choice for you if you want not only long hair but also thick & strong hair. This anti-inflammatory oil has the ability to improve cellular regeneration. It is also effective against dandruff. Mix a few drops of this oil into your shampoo or conditioner and make sure it gets massaged into your scalp.

Ylang Ylang essential oil

Also known as the flower of flowers, Ylang Ylang is a powerful aphrodisiac. This exotic ingredient is now commonly used in many hair regrowth serums. It nourishes your scalp and increases the production of sebum and makes your hair healthy and lustrous. It also helps in repelling head lice and other fungal infections. You can add this oil to your shampoo and include it in your haircare regime. If you want to use it as a treatment for head lice or any other fungal condition, then mix it with coconut oil and massage it in your hair. Rinse it off with a mild shampoo. You can also mix this oil with water and add this oil to a spray bottle. Spray this mixture after washing your hair and add an extra shine to your locks.

Tea Tree essential oil

It is no stranger to the world of haircare. It unclogs the hair follicles and nourishes hair from its roots. It gives the scalp a tingly cooling sensation (very similar to the peppermint oil) and cleanses and rebalances the scalp. It also offers antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory benefits that ensure that your scalp is healthy. It is also good for treating dandruff and itchy scalp. All these qualities make it an active ingredient of popular anti-hairfall serums and hair masks.
You can put a few drops to your carrier oil and massage your scalp. Wash it with a mild shampoo after leaving it for 15-20 mins.

Cedarwood essential oil

It is quite an effective essential oil that promotes hair growth and reduces hair loss and hair thinning by tightening the hair follicles. It balances the oil-producing glands in the scalp and boosts blood circulation. It also has antifungal and antibacterial properties. You can dilute it with a carrier oil and massage your scalp once a week. You can also get them as a hair serum for hair growth.

Thyme essential oil

This essential hair oil has dual benefits - it stimulates the scalp and actively prevents hair loss. It is actually a strong essential oil, so you should use it in smaller quantities and always mix it with a carrier oil before applying it to your scalp. Do not leave it for more than 15 mins and wash with a mild shampoo.

Lemongrass essential oil

You might have heard of lemongrass tea, but lemongrass oil for hair growth might come as a surprise to many! Well.. the application of this essential oil on the scalp can strengthen your hair shafts and stimulate hair growth. It also contains antifungal & antibacterial properties. It also works wonderfully against itchy scalp and dry scalp. It can also help you get rid of dandruff. You can mix a few drops of this oil in your shampoo or conditioner or mix it with a carrier oil to massage your scalp.

In the end, we would like to point out just one thing about essential oils - they are generally well tolerated by most people when applied/diluted with a carrier oil. However, some people might experience itching, irritation or inflammation because of some oils. In such cases, you can use some other oil and find the one that suits you. Once found, use them regularly. If oiling seems like a task to you then you can also invest in essential oil-infused serums for hair growth. They are easy to apply and the best part about them is that they are mostly available in a combination of two or more essential oils as well. So go and find the best hair growth serum for yourself now!
