Long, luxurious locks may be achieved by incorporating oil into your hair routine.

To maintain healthy hair and prevent damage, it is recommended to avoid excessive heat, get regular trims, and use a silk or satin pillowcase.

In addition to being careful with coloring and maintaining a healthy diet, there are other remedies that can help you achieve the extra length you desire.

Certain oils have been proven to promote long and healthy hair growth, but not all oils are effective.

Several oils are believed to stimulate hair growth, such as rosemary and pumpkin oil.

According to Dr. Brooke Jeffy, a board-certified dermatologist from Scottsdale, Arizona, and founder of youth skincare brand btwn, both rosemary and pumpkin oils may improve hair growth or are at least as effective as minoxidil.

Several sources have named lavender, peppermint, and tea tree as having potential hair growth benefits, in addition to other herbs.

According to Jeffy, all oils are likely to have some positive impact on hair growth by improving scalp hydration and reducing inflammation, thereby creating a favorable environment for hair growth. Additionally, physically massaging oil into the scalp may stimulate blood flow to the scalp, which may also stimulate hair growth.

To determine the most effective oil for your hair, you may need to experiment. When searching for oil to include in your hair regimen, be aware of certain indicators.

Jeffy advised Planet Chronicle Digital to search for products with few ingredients and to steer clear of fragrances. She pointed out that castor oil, often advertised as a hair growth aid, lacks scientific evidence to support its effectiveness.

Applying oil to your hair requires only a few drops, which should be massaged directly into your scalp when your hair is damp.

Jeffy stated that it could be washed out within 20 to 60 minutes.

Jeffy advised against leaving on makeup for extended periods or overnight, as it can trap oil and lead to inflammation.

After allowing the oil to sit, proceed with your usual hair routine by shampooing and conditioning your hair.

According to Jeffy, oil should be applied to hair two to three times a week.

If you're new to using oil on your hair or trying a new product, begin with small amounts and gradually increase your usage as you observe how your hair responds to the product.

The effectiveness of oil in promoting hair growth and reducing frizz may depend on the type of hair you have.

If you already have oily hair, you may want to avoid applying any more oil, according to Jeffy.

Besides oil, there are other factors that can promote hair growth, such as maintaining a healthy scalp and ensuring your body gets enough rest.

According to Jeffy, it's recommended to wash your hair and scalp three times a week to prevent oily buildup, which can lead to breakouts or seborrheic dermatitis.

"Stimulating blood flow through scalp massage can aid in promoting hair growth, as seen in medications like minoxidil."
