Does Lavender Make Hair Grow Quick Like Nara Oil?

Lavender essential oil improves the rate of hair growth.

Lavender is a small shrub whose oil can be extracted from its flowers and used for a variety of medical purposes, including treating anxiety, insomnia and hair loss from alopecia. Nara oil hair products, which also reportedly help regrow hair, contain a combination of several natural ingredients and oils such as coconut, castor and olive.

Nara Oil Benefits

Nara oil should stop hair loss, with regrowth beginning in five to eight weeks, according to the official Nara Hair Oil website. The website also states that this oil makes your hair healthier and more manageable.

Lavender Benefits

Massaging the scalp with a combination of lavender and other essential oils on a daily basis for a period of at least seven months caused significant hair growth in a study cited by the University of Maryland Medical Center. It was not possible to tell if a single oil or a combination was responsible for the growth, according to UMMC. Regardless, the growth took significantly longer than the claims made about Nara Oil.

Warning

Avoid using lavender with other central nervous system depressant medications. There have been no known reports of lavender interacting with other medications, however.

Tips

Ask your physician for a recommendation on a reputable brand of hair-growth oil to try. Choose an oil containing lavender oil, coconut oil and other essential oils. Use any hair-growth oil regularly for best results, and wait several months before making a final determination of its effectiveness.
