Best Hair Growth Oil Recipe for Long, Thick, Healthy Strands

I started growing my hip length hair in the late 1980s.

Yes, it's still growing, but at the traditional rate of half an inch per month.

Most humans grow hair at that rate, which is genetically predetermined.

Hair Growth Is Genetically Pre-Determined

Some people grow hair faster and some slower, but in general, if your hair is still actively growing you can count on approximately six inches of growth per year.

Even though I grew healthy hair to my hips it's been a long slow process.

I can honestly say I've tried every imaginable hair growth tip, trick and suggestion.

Ultimately I grew my hair super long by being patient, eating right, minimizing stress, remaining hydrated both internally and externally and making sure my hair was always as healthy as possible.

I also focused on maximizing my natural genetic hair growth of six inches per year.

Minoxidil Is The Only FDA Approved And Scientifically Proven Hair Growth Formula

There is no magic or silver bullet which grows hair faster than your genetics dictates.

It takes care, work and patience to grow hair to my length.  But it's definitely possible.

Although the market is bursting with oils, creams, lotions, shampoo formulas, vitamins, herbs and even pills which promise to "grow hair faster" they will not accelerate hair growth.

Minoxidil is the only FDA approved ingredient for hair growth in the U.S..

If the hair growth accelerator products you buy don't contain Minoxidil, adjust your hair growth expectations.

One part of the overall hair growth journey is to maximize your natural genetic growth rate.

Another part is to avoid shredding, breakage, splits and rips.  If damage occurs, it requires major hair trims which neutralize all that hard earned growth.

Dusted Hair Ends Remove Damage Without Sacrificing A Lot Of New Growth

Although some hair experts encourage regular hair trims for healthy growth, in reality, only the ends should be dusted only 3-4 times a year.  A good dusting will only remove approximately 1/8th to 1/4th of the hair ends.

Hair growth oils don't encourage hair growth nor do they heal existing damage

What they do offer is surface level strand lubrication and hydration which may help prevent rips, splits and shedding.

The healthier you manage to keep your hair during its growth cycle, the easier it is to grow hair to it's maximum terminal length.

Some of the best healthy hair oils include rosemary, jojoba, wheatgerm and cedarwood herbs or essential oils.

Other oils which are beneficial for keeping hair healthy to encourage maximum hair growth include castor oil, shea butter, thyme and grapefruit, lemon and/or orange oils.

Rosemary Is One Of The Best-Known Hair Oils

Rosemary which means "dew of the sea" is a genus of three species of hardy and half-hardy evergreen flowering shrubs.

This herb is probably the best-known and most used of of the aromatic herbs.

Keep a bottle of the essential oil handy and inhale it when you feel like you're about to wilt or get frazzled.

Take a deep whiff of rosemary essential oil (authentic, not synthetic oil) and instantly feel cooler and calmer.

Although jojoba, wheatgerm and cedarwood oils are all hair friendly oils, rosemary oil is a well-known hair oil.

Rosemary hair oil is best known for its effectiveness as an amazing hair treatment.

It's also known to be helpful for the treatment of dandruff and alopecia.  A few drops of rosemary essential oil can be added directly to your shampoo and/or conditioner.

The fresh herbs can be infused as a tea which can be cooled and use as a final shampoo rinse.

Rosemary Is Healing For The Skin

Rosemary is also very healing for the skin which includes the face, hairline and scalp.

According to the renowned book:  Aromatherapy, The Complete Guide to Plant and Flavor Essences for Healthy and Beauty by Daniele Ryman "rosemary was one of the key ingredients in the first skin lotion sold commercially in Great Britain in the seventeenth century."

Cedarwood also has a very therapeutic action on the scalp in the case of alopecia, falling hair and dandruff.

In France it's used in shampoo formulas used to treat alopecia.

Cedarwood is rarely used alone, but more often than not is considered well-matched with rosemary or lavender.
