This oil is all about making sure that scalp of yours is very healthy so that your hair can grow strong and long. Who doesn’t want to look like Repundzal? Why is it so magical? It balances your oil production on your scalp so that you aren’t producing too much or too little. It also helps with circulation so that your scalp doesn’t get dry and flaky!
Cedarwood is also amazing when you go to bed. Essential oils are known for having many benefits and one of them being that it helps with your sleep.

By getting a good night’s sleep, you are promoting hair growth. Without our precious sleep, our hair cells can’t turn over to promote new ones and with more stress during the day, more hair is lost due to it.
7. Rosemary
Have you ever heard of essential oils helping with dilating your blood vessels and promoting cell turn over for faster hair growth?! We hadn’t either until we learned more about Rosemary oil. This oil makes sure that the scalp is getting enough oxygen and nutrients for the hair follicles to grow! If you are looking to thicken the hair while having a dry free scalp, you’re in luck!
Rosemary is also really great at making sure you don’t get those premature grays that can pop up sometimes. The reason your hair tends to premature faster for some is that it lacks nutrients within the hair follicle. Rosemary is by far one of our favorites for this reason!
8. Bergamot
If you like to style your hair on the daily, you are probably building up a lot of product that leaves your hair feeling “clouded”. Essential oils such as, Bergamot will clear your hair of serums, chemicals, dirt, dandruff, and anything else that sticks to your hair follicles.
Why is this important to use? Well, because if you don’t clear away the excess dirt that sits on your follicles, you won’t promote the growth that needs to happen for your hair. You will be stuck with unhealthy hair, that in the long run will make your hair suffer and most likely will break off.
Bergamot, it has natural bacteria that will help your scalp stay cleaner for way longer. Once you use this, your hair will grow faster than ever before and you will have less split ends since the damage will be microscopic.
9. Tea tree oil
Remember that breakout you got on your forehead? You searched the web to find out what was the best way to cure it. I’m sure one of the suggestions was some essential oils to use. One that was probably recommended was Tea Tree Oil.
Well, now you can go take it out of your beauty cabinet and put it on your hair also! Tea tree oil is what they call a powerful cleaner for the scalp. By using this, the scum that sits on the scalp will be diminished almost instantly, and the health of your hair will be restored. It also fights any viruses or bacteria that sit on top of the scalp. Squeaky clean here we come.
10. Lemongrass
Salons are always telling us that it’s best to not wash our hair every day. This is great advice, but for those who hate the feeling of gross, greasy hair, it doesn’t help so much. With Lemongrass your life can be changed in an instant.
Lemongrass oil is one of the best essential oils to use when it comes to having clean hair but without using the shampoos that dry out the hair.
