DIY Hair Growth Oil

If you’re looking for a natural way to boost hair growth and nourish your scalp, making your own DIY hair growth oil is a great place to start. This simple yet powerful blend uses carrier and essential oils to strengthen roots, stimulate follicles, and support healthy, thicker hair—without the harsh chemicals found in store-bought products.

DIY Hair Growth Oil

There are many reasons why women experience thinning hair or hair loss. Sometimes it’s due to stress, thyroid problems, or diet issues.

A few years ago, I went through a period of time when not only was I losing my hair like crazy, but it also just would not grow. It was extremely frustrating.

I was eventually diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, which was most likely causing this issue.

Since that diagnosis, I’ve been on a natural healing journey. Over time, not only has my physical health improved, but so has the health of my hair.

My hair isn’t just softer and shinier, it’s also longer and thicker.

Eating healthy and taking different vitamins and supplements have played a huge role in the health of my hair.

But that isn’t the only thing that has helped my hair grow longer and thicker. I apply hair growth oil to my hair at least once a week.

I truly believe this all-natural oil is what has helped my hair the most.

It is filled with oils that promote hair growth and thickness. My hair is actually longer and healthier than it was before I started to lose my hair.

So, if you have been experiencing thinning hair or hair loss, I recommend trying this homemade hair growth oil.

What is Hair Growth Oil?

Hair growth oil is a blend of carrier and essential oils that promote hair growth and thickness. The essential oils and carrier oils used will depend on your personal needs and preferences.

Below are some of the best carrier and essential oils for hair growth. You can use a combination of any of these oils when creating your own DIY hair growth oil.

Best Carrier Oils for Hair Growth

Castor Oil

Castor oil is a vegetable oil pressed from castor beans. Castor oil is used for many different things, but it might be most well-known for its amazing hair benefits.

Many people use castor oil as a hair conditioner. Castor oil can soften the hair, ease dandruff, moisturize the scalp, and help promote hair growth.

Unfortunately, there isn’t much scientific evidence to support the claim that castor oil promotes hair growth, but plenty of anecdotal evidence exists.

I have personally used castor oil on my hair (and brows and lashes, too) for years and have noticed a huge difference. So, I definitely believe it helps promote hair growth.

Almond Oil

Almond oil is obviously made from almonds. It is rich in biotin, which helps keep hair healthy and strong.

Almond oil can help prevent split ends by nourishing and conditioning your strands. The fewer split ends you have, the less breakage you will have, which will help your hair grow longer.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is made from the seed of the Simmondsia chinensis plant. It moisturizes and protects the hair from dryness, split ends, and breakage.

Jojoba oil can also dissolve buildup and unclog the hair follicles, which allows a clear passageway for strands to grow, which will help your hair grow longer.

Hempseed Oil

Hempseed oil is made from cold-pressing hemp seeds. Hempseed oil contains fatty acids that help promote hair growth.

Hempseed oil also moisturizes the hair and scalp.

Why I Don’t Recommend Coconut Oil

I love to use coconut oil as a hair mask, but I don’t recommend it for this DIY hair growth oil because coconut oil can clog pores when applied directly to the scalp, and this hair growth oil needs to be applied to the scalp.
