what is the best hair oil for hair growth - #24780

Nora

I am really struggling with my hair lately! It’s been thinning a lot, and I feel like I’ve tried everything. Like, I read about “what is the best hair oil for hair growth” online, but honestly, all the info is super overwhelming and confusing. I used coconut oil for a while, but it didn’t really help me. I also tried some store-bought oils that were supposed to be "miracle" solutions, but no luck. 😩 Sometimes my scalp gets itchy too, and I think I might need something more, um, natural? I’ve heard that herbs can be beneficial or something. I did some home remedies with castor oil (so messy tho) and it kinda worked but felt sticky. What is the best hair oil for hair growth that you guys can recommend? I’m willing to give anything a shot, really! Just need my hair to feel a little fuller again, ya know? If you have any recipes or tips for mixing oils or anything, I’m all ears! Thank you!!

When it comes to encouraging hair growth and maintaining overall hair health, Ayurveda offers some great solutions. Based on your concern and your experiences so far, you might want to consider using Bhringraj oil. It’s a classical Ayurvedic remedy that’s known for its ability to promote hair growth and strengthen the roots, which is what you’re looking for.

Bhringraj oil, derived from the leaves of the Bhringraj plant, is often praised for improving blood circulation in the scalp, which, in turn, can stimulate hair growth. In Ayurveda, it is believed to balance Pitta dosha that could be responsible for hair thinning, and maybe even the itchiness you’re experiencing. You can either buy it or make it yourself by infusing Bhringraj leaves in a carrier oil such as coconut or sesame oil.

To use Bhringraj oil, warm up a small amount and massage it gently yet thoroughly into your scalp. Leave it on for at least an hour or overnight if possible. The heat from the oil enhances its penetration and effectiveness. Make this a twice-weekly ritual. While using, be mindful if you notice any irritation, and, well, discontinue use if necessary.

For extra benefits, you can also mix Bhringraj with Amla oil, known for its high Vitamin C content and strengthening properties. Use equal parts of both oils, warm them slightly. The combo will provide nourishment and support revitalization of the hair shaft.

Consistency is key, though sadly, changes might not be instantly noticeable. Dietary habits also play a role in hair health, so ensure you consume enough protein through nuts, including walnuts, and seeds, like flaxseed, as well as leafy greens. They contribute keratin, vitalto hair strength. Stay hydrated, and avoid heat styling tools and harsh shampoos.

If your scalp itching persists, however, it’s wise to consult a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying dermatological conditions.
