oils for hair growth?

[Guest guest]

Anyone having any success using essential oils for hair growth stimulation? I've

been trying rosemary or tea tree with olive oil as a carrier to lightly massage

into the very thinning hair on my crown every night before bed. Has anyone had

any success with anything for stimulating growth? As a 46-yr-old woman with

short dark straight hair, thinning hair up front is not something you can hide.

Hi Gerri,

I had hair loss due to illness, I used olive oil and rosemary

and lavender oil, as well as taking vitamins and diet. It worked for me and

a year later my hair is all back! I guess it depends on the cause of your

hair loss, to how you treat it .

I did go to the doctors and have bloods taken to check out that there was

not any physical cause ( thyroid problems etc)

At the onset my hair just came out in handfuls!

I do hope that you find a solution. Take Care Liz Leah

Gerri,

 

Try using Jojoba as your carrier.

Hi Gerri, I'm with Nancy, make organic jojoba oil your carrier. It

absorbs well and is the closest matched molecule to skin/hair

follicles.

 

As a woman of 46, you can count on that hair loss being hormone

related. I would suggest treating the cause AND the symptom. Hair

treatments are fine for external, but don't forget to address the

underlying reason for it.

 

Hypothyroidism is usually implicated and is very common in midlife

women. It often remains undetected because it's symptoms mimic

perimenopause, and because blood tests often come back " within the

normal range " (normal range is way too broad) when in fact, thyroid

function is compromised. So, you might want to check into that as a

possible cause. There are certainly other possibilities too though.

 

Take your vitamin B complex (get plenty of B5 and Biotin), fo-ti and

drink lots of water. Also of course, eliminate any chemicals from

your hair care products.

 

These are just a few ideas. Hope they help.

Hi Gerri,

 

I use a shea butter/sweet almond oil mix, with a combination of rosemary, clary

sage, and eucalyptus. My hair was about to the middle of my back, and I cut it

off to about 1 1/2 " about two and a half months ago. It's now almost 4 " long.

I don't have thin hair, but the length has grown amazingly since I started

making and using this cream. You only need a very little bit of it to work.

Hopefully it will stimulate those follicles into action. HTH - Tam

Gerri,

 

As well as using oils on the scalp, you also have to

have the right ingredients in your body.

Horsetail, with its high silica content, can help.

 

Also, watch my ad on Thursday

or ask me off list for nutrients that have helped some

people, and won't hurt to try.
