Coconut oil moisturizes the scalp and repairs split ends.

Also, its lightweight fatty acids penetrate the hair shaft and reduce any protein loss caused by stiff combing.

Rosemary Oil

One study, reported by Newswise, found that massaging with rosemary oil for six months stimulates hair growth in androgenetic alopecia patients by channeling more blood across their scalps.  Another study suggests that mixing rosemary with other essential oils does the same for alopecia areata patients (the worst alopecia type).

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera treats dandruff and itchy scalps and repairs any damaged hair cells caused by vitamin A deficiency. It also has pro-teases which break down protein to grow and strengthen your hair.

Red Ginseng

Studies found that red ginseng’s antidiabetic and antioxidant properties restored some bald patches in androgenetic alopecia patients. Red ginseng also protects the follicles and accelerates cell recovery in the medulla; the innermost hair shaft layer.

Red ginseng’s anti-depressing effect may also prevent hair loss before it starts. Stress and anxiety, according to studies, can cause hair loss and alopecia areata which affects approximately 7 million Americans. You can read more about anxiety and how to deal with it on this website.

Geranium Oil

Geranium oil moisturizes, repairs and polishes damaged hair. Studies also found that it expands hair follicles better than Minoxidil and promotes more hair growth.
