But first, the cause of hair loss

The reason for a lack of hair growth/hair loss can occur for a variety of reasons, with the 3 most common being hormonal changes, traction alopecia (primarily for weave & wig wear), and stress. If you're struggling with a lack of growth, don't worry it's extremely common. In 2016, a study of almost 6,000 African American women by Boston University's Slone Epidemiology Center found that almost 48% of respondents had suffered hair loss on the crown or the top of the head. 

If you're like most people, chances are you've probably already tried hair growth products and remedies before. It's likely that those products worked to some extent. However, chances are you're not actually getting the best hair growth results possible. This is because while their are many oils that are great for the hair overall their are a select few that stand wayyy above the rest when it comes to actually growing your hair. Below we’ve listed the 5 BEST organic oils that have actually been proven by both science and the hair care community to drastically accelerate hair growth!

#1 Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint oil, as some might already know, is one of the most potent all-natural hair growth ingredients on the market. Go ahead, Google it: What you'll find is article after article about how the oil can help with shedding, breakage, and regrowth. Peppermint essential oil has multiple studies that back up it's miracle claims as a hair growth elixir. A 2014 study by the The Korean Society of Toxicology found that peppermint oil was more effective than even Rogaine, a potent but toxic chemical solution for hair loss. Link
