Our Guide to the Best Oils to Treat Thinning Hair

These are the oils you need to help restore a full head of hair. 

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is renowned for its ability to boost hair thickness and reduce hair thinning. 

A study conducted in 2021 (1) found that jojoba oil is able to reduce hair thinning by stopping protein loss from within individual hair strands.

This oil comes from the seeds of the jojoba plant, which are full of essential fatty acids that are able to penetrate deep within the hair follicle. This delivers essential nutrients that nourish and boost hair health and lead to growth. 

Jojoba oil has several benefits for hair health: 

  • Vitamins C, B & E.
  • Copper and zinc minerals.
  • Deeply moisturizing and able to penetrate hair. 
  • Boosts hair growth and thickness.
  • Reduces hair thinning. 

Jojoba Oil is rich in vitamins and minerals, and that’s why we’ve incorporated it into our amazing haircare products like Black Soap Shampoo, which also contains African black soap, tea-tree oil, and vitamin E oil.

Coconut oil benefits:

  • Antifungal and antimicrobial.
  • Fights dandruff.
  • Penetrates the hair shaft, adding moisture.
  • Calms scalp irritation.
  • Treats split ends.
  • Reduces hair loss.

Rosemary Oil

Rosemary oil may be effective for promoting hair growth, even more so than well-known products like Minoxidil, the key ingredient in Rogaine.

Its main benefits are:

  • Anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal properties make it a great option for overall scalp and hair health.
  • Improved circulation.
  • Increased blood flow to the scalp.
  • Prevents hair loss.
  • Promotes the growth of new hair. 

We love essential oils like rosemary, and that's why it’s in our bestselling products like Growth Oil for Locs. 

Castor Oil

Castor oil is an age-old medicinal treatment for thinning hair that has been used for centuries to boost and thicken hair. 

Many people say castor oil holds several beneficial properties for hair health, including: 

  • Increased blood flow to the scalp. 
  • Anti-bacterial, antifungal properties that reduce dandruff. 
  • Deeply moisturizes and nourishes the scalp and hair. 
  • Reduces hair thinning and increases hair volume. 
  • Increases hair growth on the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes. 

Castor oil is also a go-to conditioning treatment for coarser hair types with thicker textures.

It’s renowned for its ability to coat the hair shaft once moisture has been added, acting as a sealant and keeping hydration locked in for longer.

At All Natural Kinks, we have incorporated castor oil into some of our most popular products, like Kinks Growth Oil, which can reduce hair thinning and boost growth, thickness, and shine. 

Lavender Oil

Lavender oil has been scientifically proven to promote hair growth.

A study in 2016 found that when it was applied to mice, they started to grow more hair and new hair at faster rates than before. 

Lavender oil is also good when used as a conditioning treatment for hair.

It’s a lightweight oil that’s able to penetrate the hair shaft and seal in moisture without weighing your hair down. 

Other benefits of lavender oil: 

  • Antimicrobial, helping to keep your scalp clean and healthy.
  • Promotes hair growth.
  • Helps scalp inflammation and dryness.
  • Reduces hair loss and hair thinning.
  • Locks in moisture. 

We use lavender oil in a range of our haircare products, like our Pre-Wash Oil Treatment, precisely because it has so many amazing properties, including reducing thinning hair and boosting growth.
