Coconut oil
One of the reasons coconut oil makes such a good base for chilli powder is that it’s also renowned to have its own restorative qualities. Coconut oil is extremely nourishing, and can help the scalp to stay in the very best of health, in turn improving growth. Coconut oil also has the potential to remove lice and dandruff, as well as providing a deep shine.
Jojoba oil
This oil doesn’t work on the hair follicles themselves but instead on any crusty build-up which could block the regrowth of hairs. Jojoba oil cuts through any residual debris, removing it from the scalp, and thus clearing the path for improved hair growth.
Rosemary oil
A component often found in shampoo, rosemary oil is credited with not just rolling back hair loss, but also preventing greying. Known to stimulate the follicles, rosemary can help hair to grow not just longer but far stronger too.
Thyme oil
Used as a massage oil, thyme can help to restore circulation and in doing so, enhance shine, lustre and vitality.
Lavender oil
Stress and anxiety are often linked with hair loss. Lavender has calming properties, helping the individual to relax. However, it is also a powerful hair loss treatment. Studies have revealed that when rubbed with lavender oil daily, hair regrowth improves over a period of seven months.
Burdock root oil
Known as Arctium Lappa, burdock root oil has a very potent effect on hair loss. Helping to boost circulation as well as removing scalp irritations, burdock root oil delivers vital fatty acids right to the roots of the hair, as well as natural phytosterols. These have been shown to help to reverse the effects of hair thinning and are an ingredient often found in hair thinning treatments.
Cinnamon oil
Cinnamaldehyde, the main compound in cinnamon, has been shown to improve hair growth in animals [5].
