Do you struggle with thinning hair? Do you shed a lot of hair when you wash it?
If you do, I feel you so deeply. It is SO HARD when you’re in this..
My desire to live a healthier life and embodied in my feminine essence started hair used to be so thin around the front of my head and I was very self conscious about it. All of my spare time would be invested into reading why my hair was falling out and what I could do today to grow my hair back thick and full.
This is a picture of me before I started to use essential oils to grow my hair back. You can see my hair was thin and brittle.
Although I was smiling in this picture, my self confidence was very low and I was very stressed over my hair loss. Every single day I would spend time researching natural ways to grow my hair back and also looking up what the cause of my hair loss was…
Have you ever been so concerned with your health that you were obsessed with researching natural solutions online?
Here’s the thing, no only was I shedding a lot of hair, I also had bad adult acne.
Thankfully I saw a naturopathic doctor who told me to switch from my vegan diet to a diet that was more carnivore!
I was a vegan for 4 years went vegan to try specifically to heal my skin and my hair. However, for my body type I was make it worse by eliminating animal protein and good quality dairy!
Back to the topic of this post, essential oils for hair growth! As you can imagine I was really eager to get my hair to grow back and this is when I bought my essential oil kit with doTERRA.
How essential oils help your hair grow!
Essential oils can work so powerfully to reduce inflammation, increase blood flow, and scalp thickness. All while stimulating the scale for healthy hair growth!
Good quality essential oils enter quickly to the skin and body. I use the best quality essential oils with doTERRA. You can always shop my oils here!
Anyways, my gorgeous blend that stimulates the scalp for new hair growth also supports your hair health and hormones!
This is the essential oil blend for hair growth that I have been using!
I add about 10 drops of each of these oils to a 50ml spay bottle and top the rest with purified water.
Rosemary Essential Oil is the best for hair growth.
Lavender Essential Oil is incredible for fast cell turnover. So applying it to your scalp will help with your scalps health.
Frankincense is an incredible anti inflammatory! If anything is causing inflammation on your scalp and this is causing a block in the follicle, let this oil support you.
Peppermint is fun for stimulating blood flow! Add peppermint and then give your scalp a good massage!
Arborvitae I had read once that in Chinese medicine they use it for hair growth, so naturally I added a few drops to my scalp spray.
To use this blend, spray it onto your scalp after washing. I love to add a lot to my scalp and give a good massage.
Now, you can add this to your hair daily, but it will leave it wet at the roots.
My secret for the days I was not washing my hair was to add the oils without water to the palm of my hand (I would only use a couple drops of each) and then dip my finger tips into the oils and massage onto my scalp. This would not make my hair greasy and it would not leave it wet!
What does my hair look like now?
My hair has never been healthier! I am so grateful that what I have been doing has been working so well for my hair! This photo was taken 12 months postpartum as well : )
What else can you do for natural hair growth?
- Your hormones might need some support and if they do, contact me and I can support you with oils to help you.
I used essential oils and supplements to heal my hormones and the supplements also aided in my hair growth.
You can even purchase my hair growth spray here!
2. Eat well for your hair! I follow the Weston A Price diet which is high in good fats from raw cheese and yogurt and I eat a lot of grass fed butter. High quality grass fed protein has really helped my hair.
3. Don’t over wash your hair! If your hair gets greasy quickly you will need to train it so you don’t wash it daily. I now wash my hair once a week and it never actually gets super gross any more.
4. Use good quality natural shampoo and conditioner. Make sure your shampoo doesn’t have silicones in it as that can build up on your scalp and cause blockages.
5. Manage your stress! This is why I preach about women coming into their femininity and honouring their bodies and radiance. Make sure you are taking time through the day to list out what needs to get done in your planner (Happy Planner is what I use), so it’s out of your mind process your emotions and voice your needs.
If you need support with growing your hair, please comment and I’m happy to support you the best I can!

What shampoo and conditioner do you use? Also, What supplements do you use? Thank you!
Trice! I am sorry for the late reply! This was in the spam section. I use doTERRA’s shampoo and conditioner and then spray my hair with the hair growth spray I make with the essential oils – for anti-hair fall, scalp health, blood flow and hair growth!! The supplements I use are doTERRA’s Lifelong Vitality pack as it fills the nutritional gaps and gives you all you need for healthy hair growth and great skin. Plus I add in collagen, desiccated beef liver and magnesium! Email me at kris@iheartwellness.ca if you have more questions I am happy to help you! xxoo
