Essential oils are needed for reproduction and hormonal growth in plants. Essential oils contained in plants work to strengthen, nourish and clean hair follicles. The benefits of these oils for alopecia, or hair loss, are to encourage hair growth and treat the underlying cause of the loss.
Oil
Jojoba oil can be used for damaged or breaking hair. Its healing qualities work well with hair loss caused by breakage. Apply the oil to hair that has been washed and towel-dried. You should leave the oil in your hair for a half an hour.
Burdock is an essential oil that can be applied to the scalp to encourage hair growth. This oil works to stimulate hair cell renewal and blood flow.
Tea tree essential oil can be used to add moisture to your hair while reducing the amount of oil produced by your scalp. This helps prevent dandruff. Add a few drops of tea tree oil to your scalp every week. You can also add a few drops of tea tree oil to olive oil for a milder effect.
Lavender oil can be used to treat hair loss because it promotes hair growth and regrowth, and speeds up the healing process. You can massage this oil into your scalp every night.
Olive oil is another great oil for hair regrowth. It nourishes the hair and helps it regain elasticity.
Herbs
Rosemary and clary sage are herbs that should be used together to encourage hair growth.
Apply a mixture of jojoba and clary sage to the roots of your hair to stimulate growth.
Another treatment is prepared by boiling rosemary, sage, peach leaf, burdock and nettle together. Strain the herbs from the liquid, then use the liquid to wash your hair. This treatment can be used daily.
Basil is an herb effective for stimulating blood circulation. It works best on oily hair. Use peppermint to nourish and stimulate the flow of blood to the root of your hair. Peppermint is best used for thinning or slowly growing hair. These herbs can be used by boiling the herbs, then using the water to wash your hair.
