Are you looking for a natural way to thicken your hair? Ugh, it feels so gut wrenching when you see your hair falling out. You might even be questioning if it is possible for your hair to grow thicker naturally??

The great news is, yes you can. I have an essential oil hair thickening recipe that is a great option for you.

It has been the way I was able to stop my hair from thinning more and actually grow it back naturally!

Here is my hair before I started using essential oils (and good supplements) for hair thickening and after!
Here is my before and after. I started to use essential oils for hair thickening (and good supplements) and my hair stopped falling out and grew in fuller and thicker!

If you are like me, I felt devestation every day when I washed or brushed my hair and it started to come out in clumps. It would be right around my temples and hairline that I started to notice it thinning the most..

There are a few main reasons why your hair could be thinning:

  • Stress
  • Hormones
  • Sleep deprivation
  • Nutritional depletion
  • Anemia
  • Certain drugs
  • Haircare routine

I knew mine was hormones, stress and I was vegan (which was not good for my body or hair).

One day out of desperation, but total belief that I can grow my hair I asked on Instagram “who knows how I can grow my hair back naturally?”. Thankfully, my friend reached out to me right away saying “Essential Oils!!”

In 2016 I bought my first certified pure therapeutic grade essential oils. I specifically wanted these essential oils for hair growth, hair thickening and also hormone balancing. I use the essential oils for hair thickening daily, along with a great supplement line and use non-toxic shampoo and conditioner.

Even through my pregnancy and postpartum, I used the essential oils to prevent hair fall and promote hair growth naturally.

How do essential oils help with hair thickening?

Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts that have been used for centuries for their therapeutic properties. Please keep in mind, not all essential oils are created equally and the oils from the grocery store are usually synthetic and won’t make a difference for your hair thickening and growth.

You want pure certified essential oils and I use ones that I know the oils are extracted from plants that are grown in their natural habitat where they grow naturally.

Plus, essential oils can support your hormone health, your sleep and stress!

If you are ready to use essential oils to grow your hair thicker, I got you!

Fun fact, Each hair strand on human body has its own nerve, blood supply and muscle!

Essential oils for hair thickening:

  1. Rosemary oil: Rosemary oil is known for its ability to stimulate hair growth and improve hair thickness. It contains antioxidants that help to protect hair from damage and stimulate blood circulation in your scalp, promoting healthy hair growth.
  2. Peppermint oil: Peppermint oil is another essential oil that can help to thicken hair. It has a cooling effect on your scalp, which helps to improve blood flow and increase hair growth. It also contains menthol, which helps to strengthen hair follicles and reduce hair loss.
  3. Cedarwood oil: Cedarwood oil is believed to promote hair growth by stimulating the hair follicles and improving blood circulation in your scalp. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that help to reduce scalp irritation and dandruff, which can contribute to hair loss.
  4. Lavender oil: Lavender oil has a calming effect on the scalp, which can help to reduce stress and promote healthy hair growth. It also contains antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, which help to soothe and nourish your scalp.
  5. Tea tree oil: Tea tree oil is known for its anti-fungal and antibacterial properties, which can help to keep your scalp healthy and free of infection. A healthy scalp is essential for healthy hair growth.
  6. Ylang-ylang oil: Ylang-ylang oil is a natural hair thickener that helps to promote healthy hair growth. It stimulates your scalp and increases blood circulation, which helps to nourish the hair follicles and promote thicker, stronger hair.

To use essential oils for hair thickening, mix a few drops of your chosen oil with a carrier oil such as coconut oil or jojoba oil. Massage the oil into your scalp and hair, leave it on for at least 30 minutes, then rinse it out with shampoo and conditioner. You can also add a few drops of essential oil to your shampoo or conditioner for an extra boost of hair-thickening goodness.

My favourite hair thickening support is making a hair grow spray!

Add 15 drops of each essential oil to a 4oz glass spray bottle and top with filtered water.
Spray on your roots after washing and before styling or use daily even on dry hair!

In conclusion, essential oils can be an effective and natural way to thicken your hair. They help to stimulate blood circulation, nourish the scalp, and promote healthy hair growth. Just be sure to dilute the oils properly and use them as directed to avoid any adverse reactions.

I have put together your “Hair Thickening Essential Oil Bundle” to get the best essential oils for hair thickening and the best price here!

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.

My hair BEFORE!

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?

  1. 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!
