A beautiful clear oil extracted from the flower spikes of the lavender plant, lavender essential oil has a sweet and floral scent that smells clean and lovely.

Some of the uses for lavender oil include:
- Promoting peaceful sleep
- Treating insomnia
- Relieving tension, anxiety and stress

- Fighting acne and pimples

Research Concerning Lavender for Hair Growth
Of course, aside from its other benefits, lavender oil is also extremely powerful in reversing hair loss, as proved by a prominent study carried out by scientists in Scotland showed that patients suffering from hair loss and bald patches noticed a 44 % improvement in hair growth after using lavender oil.
Supervised by dermatologists, the patients were massaged with a mixture of some carrier oils (such as jojoba oil and grapeseed oil) and essential oils (including thyme, rosemary, cedarwood and lavender).
Those who used the carrier oil alone, without any essential oils, only found a 17% improvement.
This shows that essential oils, such as lavender oil, can have a positive effect on hair growth.
How to Use Lavender for Hair Growth
The best way to use lavender for hair growth, in my opinion, is to make your own hair growth oil containing carrier oils that promote strong and lustrous hair, such as coconut oil and sweet almond oil. We are also going to be making use of other essential oils that are proven for hair growth.
You may use lavender essential oil alone, without adding any of the other essential oils. But for the best results, follow the recipe as it is – it really is worth it!
