Essential Oils for hair loss / growth

anyone want to share their concoctions?
I currently started to use coconut oil as the carrier oil and lavender as the essential oil.

Hair: naturally very dry and VERY porous
hair seems to be moody.
Does not seem to like oils
Does not like protein or too much?
Does not like rich products
So, I ask myself. What does it like? That is the question, and I'm on a mission.

I've bought, rosemary, clary sage, lavendar, and peppermint.
I started to experiment with lavendar and grapeseed last week.
I'm using rosemary and grapeseed this week.
I'll post back here with results. Praying it helps.

A lot of people have reported success with the UK esential oil blend therapy and also castor oil plus emu oil:
1. UK EO blend; rosemary oil, lavender oil, thyme-white oil, cedarwood-atlas oil in a base oil carrier blend of pure grapeseed oil and jojoba oil-- you should be able to do a search online for the study and their specific ratios used on patients.
2. castor oil plus emu oil:
Now Foods Solutions Golden Castor Oil (the regular food grade yellow one) or Tropic Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil used twice daily alternated weekly with Emu Oil for several months. There is a lot of info on youtube about either type of Castor Oil and Emu Oil use...
Also, There are currently 2-known successful NON-surgical medical treatments for hairloss (specifically alopecia):
1. Kenalog Injections (a type of rx-medical corticosteroid injected directly into the scalp of the affected areas (about 1-2cc every 3-4 weeks for several months to stimulate regrowth--works best in cases of less than 30-40% total hairloss as in alopecia areata and mild cases of traction hairloss)
2. Tofacitinib (an oral rx-prescribed medication originally used to treat rhumatoid arthritis and cancer symptoms in patients... That in a Yale study (2014) was found to regrow hair in alopecia-totalis patients who had not grown hair for a number of years. Suggested efficacy is for alopecia-areata and alopecia-totalis patients--).
Most Effective Surgical Solutions include;
1. Micro-FUT (traditional strip) surgery. Recommended for both male and female patients with sufficient donor hair (harvested from the back of the head) with mild, to moderate chronic hairloss usually treatable with surgery at anywhere between 5-35% baldness). Depending upon donor density in this procedure up to 3400fut-grafts may be harvested per surgical procedure. Depending upon hairloss, may require up to 4 or more surgeries even with 2800fut-grafts transplanted per procedure.
2. Micro-FUE (robotic non-scapel) surgery. Due to the technique, this procedure is recommended most for male patients with less than 10-15% hairloss in the affected areas, who plan to keep their hair cut short. in this procedure up to 3000-fue grafts may be harvested per procedure.
Also- it's important to note that research has shown many women are allergic to ingredients in Minoxidil type products and should avoid them as they may cause facial/beard hair , scalp inflammation and further hairloss to occur over time..
blessings and goodluck!

Best Gel Combo, Ever!: Elasta Qp Feels Like Silk Liquid Gel +/under Eco Styler [Krystal, Brown] Gel (or under Wetline Extreme Styling Gel)- awesome!!
Coconut Oil, Indian gooseberry oil or Blackseed oil are the best in their natural form.
These oils increase the blood flow in the skin. Any of the selected oil should be applied 2 times a week. But air should be washed properly with a soft shampoo (baby shampoo) after 3 to 4 hours. If the oil is left for longer hours it can harm the skin and scalp.
A good shower filter can help you get better results faster.
Another thing you can try is Vitamin E, you can take them orally but also you can pop one pill and put it on your scalp, don't wash it or leave it over night. I personally don't like this method but it has been effective on my friends. One of them was taking Vit E orally and applying coconut oil. Hope your problem is fixed

I'm currently going through vast hair loss - the second time in my life - as a result of an iron deficiency.
I have coconut oil, amla oil, castor oil, sweet almond oil jojoba oil, peppermint oil, lavender oil, olive oil and rosemary oil. I'm trying all of them on different days but not every day. Also have a shea butter conditioner but apparently, you're only supposed to use it on the hair and not the scalp because it blocks the follicles and pores.
The first time I had hair loss, I took biotin supplements and they sorted my hair right out with growing it back and growing it fast but they eventually began to lose effect and this time they aren't making a difference at all.
I've been using the oils for a week but my hair is still shedding so i'll just have to ride it out and see what happens when it slows (hopefully sometime soon?!).
