2. Bur Oil

• The oil is rich in fatty acids and phytosterols.
• The fatty acids found in burdock are very rare and help hair grow.
• It helps by providing nutrients that  help the oil glands and hair follicles function.

3. Peppermint Oil

This oil works by penetrating the scalp and regenerating the hair follicle.  Once this type of environment is created on the scalp, circulation will increase, and your hair will grow.

It can also help prevent hair loss, fight dandruff, and reduce excess oil!

• NOTE: Pure peppermint oil can be strong, so dilute it with water before applying.
• Peppermint oil is also essential for hair growth.
