The 3 Best Oils For Massive Hair Growth & Volume Once & For All, According To Haircare Experts

1. Rosemary Oil

Abdullah reveals that rosemary oil "works against the hair loss hormone DHT" and "the hairline and crown are common areas of thinning for women with hair loss that's related to age." She advises "adding a few drops of rosemary oil to a 4-ounce bottle of lotion."

This is because lotion “works just as well (if not better) than oil for some women with thicker textures because it "absorbs quicker into the skin," she explains.”

Abdullah recommends "using this solution twice daily." She stresses not "expecting to see results overnight," as it often takes "at least six months" to see hair regrowth at the crown. "If you're not sure what type of hair loss you have, use more than one essential oil [on its own or in] your lotion," she recommends.

Harth adds that "a healthy scalp environment can lead to improved hair growth and a reduction in hair loss." The best scalp oils or scalp treatment serums would "include DHT blockers that help reduce the effects of DHT on the hair follicles," he notes.

2. Peppermint Oil

This unexpected oil is relatively underrated and should get more credit for its hair growth benefits! Using peppermint oil along with rosemary oil can "stimulate the hair follicles, and hydrolyzed protein and collagen can help fortify the hair shaft against damage and breakage," she says.

When it comes to haircare products as a beginner, Harth says that "particularly those designed as scalp treatment serums" can be "beneficial for thin, fine hair." These oils are "formulated to promote scalp health, nourish the hair follicles, and stimulate blood circulation in the scalp."

3. Pumpkin Seed Oil

Abdullah also recommends trying a "pumpkin seed oil" for your hair and scalp, as it has been "scientifically proven to grow more hair and aid those who have thinning hair." She elaborates by adding that "the best oil for thickening hair is pumpkin seed oil. It puts more hair follicles into the hair growth phase, which means you can see thicker hair near the roots in as little as three weeks."
