Natural oils for hair growth are plant-derived substances used to promote hair health and stimulate growth. Examples include coconut oil, rich in lauric acid, which penetrates the hair shaft and aids in moisture retention.
These oils have been valued for centuries for their hair-nourishing properties. They provide essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins that strengthen hair follicles, reduce breakage, and promote a healthy scalp. A notable historical development was the use of castor oil in ancient Egypt as a hair treatment.
