I have been experimenting with different growth oils for over 15 years. My goal has always been to achieve luscious, voluminous, healthy hair, and I’ve tried everything (including homemade formulas) to get there. However, I quickly learned that this process is not easy and requires some trial and error and patience (sigh).
That being said, I’ve tried nearly 30 different hair growth oils over the past 10 years, including formulas with all the buzzy viral ingredients, and only 4 have really produced noticeable results. That’s all. Shop below for my 4 go-to hair oils that made my hair grow longer in 4 weeks.
4 hair growth oils that our editors love
Tropical Isle Living Strong Roots Red Pimento Hair Growth Oil
$8 on Amazon
The hair growth oil that I currently use and recommend the most is Tropical Isle Living Strong Roots Red Pimento Hair Growth Oil. My hair grew so quickly that I couldn’t keep up with the maintenance and had to stop using it. I now use it every other week for hot oil treatments and my hair has never felt more nourished. Featuring pimento berry, which is rich in antioxidants, it removes impurities from the scalp that can slow growth.
Aunt Jackie’s Elixir Essential Hair & Scalp Oil
$7 on Amazon
The next hair oil that I use the most is Aunt Jackie’s Elixir Essentials Hair and Scalp Oil. I prefer to use this between styling to prevent hair loss. Infused with rosemary, it is an anti-inflammatory that helps repair fragile hair while also reducing scalp dandruff and skin irritation. It also contains biotin, which increases viscosity and prevents excessive shedding. In addition, the mint formulation gives a cooling sensation to the scalp and soothes the mood after tight hair styling.
as i am rosemary hair oil
$7 on Amazon
As I Am’s Rosemary Hair Oil has been a lifesaver for my edges, especially when my tight hairstyles caused them to fall out. When I stopped retightening my hair frequently and instead started applying this growth oil around my hair three times a week, new hair started growing on my edges. Its main ingredient, rosemary, improves blood circulation to the scalp, stimulates growth and reduces hair breakage. It also contains peppermint oil, which soothes the scalp, thickens hair, and prevents hair loss. Made for all hair types, it does not require dilution and can be applied directly to the scalp.
Kate Blanc Cosmetics Castor Oil
$10 on Amazon
Before getting my hair done, I vowed to use Cate Blanc’s cosmetic castor oil to reverse my baldness. Lately, I’ve been using Tropical Isle Living for my hair, and I still use Cate Blanc oil to thicken my eyebrows and lengthen my ungrown eyelashes. Featuring pure, organic, cold-pressed castor oil, it promotes hair growth while moisturizing and soothing the scalp. It comes with a spoolie to shimmy your lashes and a dropper to suit your intended use. genius!
