You may know sesame as an ingredient in many recipes, but the essential oil created from sesame seeds has a long history of being used in cosmetic products. This oil has a warm, nutty aroma to it and is full of essential fatty acids, nutrients, and antioxidants that work to encourage hair health.
When used on the hair, sesame seed oil can improve hair growth. This is thanks to the essential fatty acids and vitamins in the oil working together to create healthy, hydrated scalp conditions and reduce instances of hair loss and hair thinning. These same fatty acids and nutrients also help to moisturize and repair dry or damaged hair, leading to locks that are shinier, stronger, and overall more healthy.
To use sesame oil on your hair, blend a few drops into a carrier oil to create a hair mask, or add several drops to your shampoo and conditioner.
