In the first place there will be reviews of essential oils for hair growth. You have probably heard that funds can help quickly find a long and luxurious head of hair. Is it so?

In their reviews of essential oils for hair growth, girls and women spoke most enthusiastically of the following:

• Ylang Ylang. Universal activator. The ether not only accelerates the growth of curls, but also nourishes them, restores the structure. The oil is truly universal: it eliminates dry hair, and regulates excessive secretion of sebum.
• Rosemary. Another universal oil. It has an important feature: it enhances blood flow, and with it the influx of oxygen, nutrients to the skin cells. This removes sleeping hair follicles from a state of rest, strengthens the hair, thickens their shafts. Curls not only grow quickly, but also become healthy, acquire a beautiful shine.
• Cinnamon. According to the principle of action, this essential oil is similar to the previous one. But, in addition to this, it also has a warming effect. How is that good? The pores expand, as a result of which the agent penetrates into the structure of the hair and skin cells in larger quantities. Oil delivers important trace elements that activate hair growth.
• Cloves. Often used in combination with cinnamon. Together they are not only an activator, but also an excellent antiseptic. As a result of this effect, the curls grow faster, the hair stops falling out, and the formation of dandruff decreases. Therefore, it is a rather effective treatment and prevention of diseases of the scalp.
• Bay. The activator is valuable in that it enhances tissue metabolism. Let’s figure out what this means. With age, all life processes in the human body gradually slow down, including the regeneration of skin cells, hair follicles. The result is age-related hair loss. Bay counteracts this process, improves blood microcirculation. Therefore, he collects a lot of flattering reviews, not only from young people, but also from older people.
• Lavender. Essential oil is primarily valued for its calming effect. This property is also valuable for hair growth. Oil envelops the hair follicles, protects them from external influences, covers the hair with a kind of "cover". In such reliable protection, curls grow faster, have a dense structure and a healthy shine.
• Citrus fruits (orange, grapefruit, mandarin). These amazingly aromatic essential oils perform two tasks: activate hair growth and eliminate their excessive fat content. Another nice bonus: citrus oils saturate the hair with vital vitamins, which ensures their health.
