I've been looking at different oils that work for all types of hair and the problems that are associated with it. Also I wanted to explore what essential oils are best for your over all hair health. So here is the list and the oils. I have already discussed the benefits of some of these oils before, so I won't be redundant. The oils I haven't discussed, I will review the benefits and tell you where you can purchase them.
To improve your hair and its condition, the first thing you need to do is increase your intake of water. Cells cannot proliferate and grow with out this vital element. Also, the foods you eat have a direct effect on your hair and its health. You need to make sure you are eating fruits and vegetables, healthy raw nuts full of omega three fatty acids and of course, protein. How much sleep are you getting a night? If you say anything less then 8, your hair will suffer, so will your health. Shampooing your hair can be harmful, so intead of shampooing weekly. Shampoo once a month, clarify your hair with apple cidar vinegar twice a month and co wash every other time. Deep condition your hair weekly, very important for hair growth and retention. And watch your ends. Are they ragged? You may need to clip them.
So, on to the oils....
If your hair is normal, first let me say, lucky! But you can also benefit from essential oils.

- Thyme Essential Oil
- Clary Sage Essential Oil
If your hair is dry, welcome to the club. These oils are best for your hair:
