Geranium Oil
For some, geranium is only a beautiful houseplant, but geranium oil is another home remedy for hair growth with a long history of medicinal use. It nourishes the scalp and controls natural oil and sebum production, resulting in better hair growth. Scientifically known as Pelargonium graveolens, geranium is a native South African plant with a therapeutic fragrance and has over 280 species. Geranium oil is a concentrated extract derived from the plant’s leaves.
This essential oil helps improve blood circulation, allowing it to provide better nutrition for the scalp. It is why geranium oil promotes hair growth and fights hair loss. In relation to this, the aromatic scent of geranium oil is an effective stress relief, which helps address one of the causes of hair loss. Its fragrance also enhances mood.
Also, geranium oil has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties that ward off dandruff and prevent dry scalp. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that rid inflamed scalp that hinders the hair’s healthy growth.
To use geranium oil, add three drops with eight drops of any carrier oil like jojoba oil. Then apply it to the hair directly. Adding some drops to conditioner or shampoo is another way to use this essential oil for hair growth.
