Packed with fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, argan oil fortifies hair follicles, hydrates the scalp, and encourages the growth of healthy hair

Castor oil

Ricinoleic acid, which is present in castor oil, helps increase blood flow to the scalp, promoting hair development and lowering hair breakage

Jojoba oil

Helps to balance oil production, hydrate hair follicles, and promote hair growth. It resembles the natural sebum produced by the scalp

Almond Oil

 Packed with vitamins E and D, almond oil nourishes the scalp, strengthens hair, and lowers hair loss while encouraging healthy hair development

Rosemary oil

Increases blood flow to the scalp, preventing baldness or hair thinning and encouraging hair growth

Peppermint Oil

Well-known for its calming properties, peppermint oil also stimulates hair growth, increases circulation, and leaves the scalp feeling cool

Lavender oil

Promotes better blood circulation, calms the scalp, and lowers stress—all of which can lead to healthier hair development

These oils can be used on their own, in combination with other hair-friendly oils or carrier oils, as part of hair masks, scalp treatments, or applied diluted for massages to the scalp. Before using any new oil, it's crucial to undertake a patch test to make sure you don't have any negative side effects or allergic responses
