How to Use Hair Growth Oils for Maximum Growth

Serums, oils and even shampoos often promise that they will aid in promoting hair growth. Although certain ingredients can work wonders for your hair, it's important to use those products correctly in order to maximise results.

 

How these products work

Typically, products with promises to help hair growth work by helping to stimulate your scalp and increase blood circulation. These sorts of products have essential oils in them that help to achieve multiple goals at once. For example, Flora & Curl Coconut Mint Scalp Refresh Oil uses peppermint oil to help stimulate the scalp and lavender oil to purify and soothe dandruff. Its blend also includes coconut oil, which helps add elasticity to the hair.

 

Making the most out of it

Simply putting an oil on your scalp won't make your hair grow. You need to massage it in and do so at least weekly in order to see results. You don't need to use a lot at a time. The key is how you apply it and ensuring to continuously massage it in. Don't forget to massage different sections of your scalp.

 

Using it before bed

Recommended product for nightly use: CURLS Blueberry & Mint Scalp Treatment (Hair Growth)

Apply daily. Apply directly to the entire scalp. Gently and evenly distribute. You can also use this powerful growth oil after and before braiding hair, when wearing a wig, creating a protective style or installing/taking down a weave/extensions.

Massage onto your scalp daily, as a part of your night routine for optimal hair growth. Then cover your hair with a satin sleeping bonnet.

 

Using it before washday

Recommended product for washday use: Flora & Curl Coconut Mint Scalp Refresh Oil

Apply it before cleansing. Divide your hair into sections. Apply a few drops of the oil into your palms or onto your scalp, then massage it into your scalp using your fingers. Leave on for 5-10 minutes.

Once your scalp feels warm, next shampoo and condition your hair. For best results, use the Flora & Curl Coconut Mint Scalp Refresh Shampoo and Flora & Curl Coconut Mint Refresh Conditioner.

 

How to find an effective growth oil

• Ensure it's free from ingredients such as: sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, triclosan, triclocarban, artificial fragrance, etc.
• It should be blended with powerful essential oils. This will help the product achieve multiple hair goals at once.
• Ideally try and find one that has multiple uses (i.e. offers soothing feel, also acts as a pre-shampoo, adds shine)
