Here are a few lesser-known hair oils for healthy hair
Our grandmothers, too, have always relied on oils to solve their hair problems and ours. Do you remember those Sundays when she massaged your scalp with oil before taking a bath?
It may seem impossible to decipher exactly what makes long, shiny hair exactly, but scalp oiling should still be part of your hair care routine.
Here are five lesser-known oils that work like magic for hair.
Lavender and peppermint essential oils are great for your mane
Lavender essential oil mixed with any carrier oil promotes hair growth and improves scalp health.
Based on a study, experts say that lavender oil has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties.
After a busy day, a good head massage is enough. The use of peppermint essential oil mixed with a carrier oil provides a cooling effect and increases blood circulation, which supports hair growth.
Wild bataua oil contains vitamins that are necessary for hair growth
Applying wild bataua oil at least once a week provides your hair with an immense amount of vitamin E and omega-9 oleic acid.
This light oil adds shine to your hair and also works as a great skin care product.
Batana oil, made from American palm nuts, is great for hair health and works as a natural dye for gray hair.
Try these oils to reduce dandruff from your scalp
A 2015 study found that using lemongrass essential oil for a week had a huge impact on reducing dandruff.
Mix lemongrass oil with your regular or anti-dandruff shampoo for better effects. Use this every day for a week.
Likewise, cedarwood essential oil is also effective in removing dandruff from your scalp. Mix it with a carrier and apply thoroughly 10 minutes before shampooing.
You can also try these essential oils for healthy hair
Both thyme and tea tree oils promote hair growth. Add two drops of thyme oil with any carrier oil and massage well on your scalp. It prevents hair loss, just like cedarwood oil.
Tea tree oil effectively stimulates your hair follicles and also acts as an anti-dandruff agent.
Clary sage essential oil also makes your hair strong.
