Oils Used for Natural Hair Growth Potions


Often when we think of oil, we may often think of pore clogging oils, or even acne. Oil, depending on the type used, can nourish, clean, strengthen, and stimulate your hair, hair follicles, and scalp, enabling your hair to grow longer and fuller. Oil is often mixed with other ingredients, but can also be used alone. This section explore the different types of oils used for natural hair growth.


Almond oil is loaded with fatty acids that improve the strength and luster of your hair. The oil will also soften hair, which is great news for women with coarser hair. Almond oil is primarily used in hair growth recipes as a secondary ingredient, not the main or base of the recipe, but hair can be treated with almond oil by itself.

Begin with a tablespoon of the oil and massage into the scalp, working your way down the hair until you reach the tips. Depending on the thickness and existing length of your hair, more oil may be needed. Once your hair is coated, allow the oil to sit for 15-20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with cold water (or as cold as you can tolerate), and wash as usual.


Full of Omega-3 fats, castor oil rebuilds hair, allowing new growth, strength, added shine, and thickness. Castor oil can be run through the hair as a leave-in solution to keep hair smooth, used in a hot oil treatment, or as a base in a hair growth recipe. 


Coconut oil is huge in Asia and the Caribbean, and is quickly catching on in other countries. Coconut oil is one of the most popular oils to use for hair. The oil begins as a solid and must be warmed, either from the heat of your hands and fingers, or in a pan. A terrific natural conditioner, coconut oil can be used alone, blended with other oils, or, most often, a base for a hair recipe. For the best results, use virgin coconut oil because it is not as processed, and has more proteins.


Emu oil is not well known unless you have managed to get a hold of a product containing the oil. Loaded with Omega-3 fatty acids, the oil thickens, strengthens, and heals hair ad skin ailments. You're best bet is to find an Emu product via the internet.

If you can get your hands on Emu oil alone, simply use the oil as you would any other for an oil treatment. Coat the hair from root to tip, cover with a shower cap, allow to sit for at least an hour, but overnight would be ideal, rinse thoroughly, and wash hair. 

Essential Oils 
These are oils that has been extracted from herbs or flowers and are highly concentrated. These oils nourish, protect, and cleanse hair, stimulating new hair growth. Typically, an essential oil is not applied by itself, but rather mixed with another oil. The most common essential oils used for hair growth treatments are lavender, peppermint, rosemary, and tea tree. 


Yet another oil commonly used as a hair growth treatment for black hair, flaxseed oil contains the magic of Omega-3 fatty acids. Much like the other oils, flaxseed can be applied directly to the hair and scalp or as part of a hair recipe.


Jojoba has impressive hydration capabilities, which soften hair, and help it heal if it's dry and brittle.


This is perhaps the easiest oil to find, and the most familiar to everyone, olive oil is rich in antioxidants. The benefits of olive oil are widely known, as evidenced by the abundance of beauty supplies on store shelves with olive oil as a primary ingredient. Olive oil helps smooth hair, gives hair an incredible sheen, and stimulates hair to grow.


Vitamin E is full of antioxidants and healing properties ideal for strengthening hair. In fact, vitamin E oil is often recommended by doctors to help improve or hasten the healing process of certain wounds, because it works faster and soothes the injured area. When it comes to hair, the vitamin improves blood flow and stimulates the scalp, encouraging hair growth.
