This leave-on hair treatment features patented follicle technology to encourage new growth and thicken existing strands. With ingredients like jojoba oil and squalane to improve strength and shine, this leave-on treatment promises results!
Peptides contained within this formula work to strengthen strands from their root, while biotin and caffeine promote flexibility and density in hair strands. It’s ideal for fine, thin locks as it won’t clog pores on an oily scalp.
1. Argan Oil
Argan oil has long been an integral component of skincare and haircare products, but no scientific evidence supports its role as an aid for hair growth. According to experts, however, argan oil serves as an effective scalp moisturizer and may protect your strands against heat damage.
Houshmand notes that argan oil’s fatty acids are similar to the oils your scalp naturally produces and help prevent dryness and frizzing of hair. “[They’re also] highly protective, helping prevent further dryness or frizzing.”
Houshmand suggests selecting a lightweight formula, one with argan, baobab and marula oils that hydrate hair from root to tip while also helping detangle strands and improve vitality – and free from sulfates and parabens! If you’re ready to give hero product a try for yourself, she recommends selecting something lightweight — one she particularly likes is available here.
2. Arnica Oil
Arnica oil, extracted from Arnica montana (also known as leopard’s bane or wolf’s bane) flowering plant, has long been used as a traditional treatment for hair loss and combined with other natural ingredients, it may be added into products to combat dandruff.
Arnica oil’s anti-inflammatory, fungicidal, pain-relieving and antibacterial properties provide relief for several scalp conditions. In particular, it removes sebum oil build-up that blocks hair follicles as well as dirt and debris that block them; anecdotal evidence also points towards reduction of inflammation associated with itching or irritation caused by itching or irritation.
To create arnica oil at home, harvest flowers just before they bloom, combine them with a carrier oil such as coconut or almond oil and store the resultant oil in a glass jar, shaking daily until ready for use. You can even heat it to add soothing properties for your scalp.
3. Aloe Vera Oil
Aloe vera oil is an all-in-one home remedy to relieve dandruff, stimulate hair growth, and keep your scalp healthy. Furthermore, its antifungal, antiviral, and antibacterial properties make it a go-to product.
Evaporustat is often prescribed as a topical ointment to treat burns, wounds and other skin conditions. With cooling properties that soothe any discomfort caused by sun-damaged skin. Additionally, its soothing qualities may improve appearance.
Studies indicate that aloe vera may assist in stimulating hair growth by improving scalp health and increasing blood flow to follicles. Furthermore, aloe is packed with essential antioxidants like vitamins A, C, E, folac acid, and choline that provide support for healthy locks. Unfortunately, large doses of oral aloe latex consumption have been known to cause abdominal cramping, diarrhea and liver injury in users.
4. Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is an emollient, meaning it softens skin and unclogs hair follicles to help prevent balding and reduce acne. Furthermore, its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties help fight inflammation and oxidative stress; in addition, jojoba can help remove dead skin cells to decrease acne while simultaneously eliminating dandruff and dead cells on skin cells. As such, it has become an integral component of Mustela skincare products including their Hydra Bebe Body Lotion and Hydra Bebe Facial Cream products.
Jojoba is a plant native to the arid southwestern regions of both the US and Mexico. Its seeds contain liquid wax with similar chemical structures to spermaceti wax and have long been used medicinally by Native American tribes in these arid areas. Jojoba boasts numerous pharmacological properties and can be found in pharmaceutical preparations, emulgels, cosmetics and industrial lubricants.
5. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is an affordable, versatile ingredient perfect for baking and other forms of healthy cuisine, yet some experts also claim it can do wonders for skin and hair health. According to studies, it hydrates and smoothes hair shafts while protecting from damage from heat or other factors, reduces dandruff, stops loss of follicles, heals damaged skin more quickly, and even speeds up hair growth!
Coconut oil can be found in shampoos, conditioners, hair masks and leave-in treatments, styling products and even styling tools. Unrefined coconut oil offers the most advantages; however, people with coarser hair textures may experience overuse leading to buildups of slickness that is best avoided through switching up oils regularly.
