Went from 1 inch of hair to it now hanging to my collar bone, the shrinkage is real lol but so proud of myself for hanging in there.

Hmmmm, an interesting perspective but the scalp is skin. If the skin on your face and body can react positively to active ingredients, I don’t see a problem with infused oils and other well infused topical treatments, for the scalp. The studies are limited but anecdotal reports can’t be total fluff and there are some studies to support the efficacy of certain oils and infusions. The scalp is even more permeable than skin on the body and our skin can already absorb nutrients, topically. To be fair though, Dr. Dre didn’t say oils don’t grow hair. She said the research is limited… therefore there is room for those studies to prove that oil does indeed, bolster hair growth. These accomplished black derms also didn’t say anything negative about oils… I personally don’t like castor oil but I’ve seen a lot of success with other oils and potent infusions. Lol this is a novel but I don’t think that what they are saying opposes the possibility that certain oils and infusions are actually beneficial (though many other factors go into healthy hair and a healthy body). As medical professionals, they may believe in these things more than they are letting on but they can’t actually back anything that doesn’t have a solid study behind it (I’m pretty sure it’s not ethical in medicine). I’m sure the next decade will reveal a lot about the benefits of oils.

Without spending a really long time on this reply... Firstly facial oils are unnecessary as everything you need for your face can be found in well formulated moisturizers (that may contain oils) and serums with active ingredients (acids, extracts, antioxidants). Secondly, oils on the face or elsewhere don't grow the hair faster than normal... And yes...scalp is skin, you are correct but unlike facial skin there are not thousands of hair follicles that produce sebum and are easily clogged. This is a KEY difference. The biggest irony is that people will say "scalp is skin" to justify oil use but not see the connection regards more frequent washing 🤔

@@sart1348 I literally said oils and potent infusions; and highlighted that actives work on the skin so why won’t oils with potent actives and antioxidants also work well on the scalp? That aside, there are oils that are noncomedogenic and effective emollients for the skin… if your scalp is excessively dry or you have issues keeping moisture in, there’s nothing wrong with using an oil or even a petrolatum based product. But do y’all do ANY research? The scalp is even more permeable than the skin on the face… this is a fact and as a result certain actives naturally found in oils and added via infusions MAY have an effect on the rate of hair growth… the same way vitamin A has an effect on cell turnover rate, or vitamin C protects against free radicals and brightens the skin, or Lactic acid brightens skin and loosens dead skin cells, or licorice root extract that also brightens skin… et cetera et cetera. Who says someone can’t wash their hair frequently? If their scalp is like mine then more consistent washing is definitely great for reintroducing moisture (I also spritz my scalp with hair tea). I personally keep my hair in extension-free single braids so I can treat my naturally dry/sensitive scalp. (The skin on my face is also very sensitive so the attention is not so different). I also live in a VERY dry environment so oils are a friend. A lot of people like to push narratives or selectively read things they don’t agree with so they can respond. If you don’t want to use oil, that’s good and dandy, but everyone is different. There are people that naturally produce a lot of sebum, there are others that produce a moderate amount, and others that produce very little and are more prone to dry skin. Oils are not harmful if used correctly, and I choose to leave the door open to the very HIGH probability that certain oils do bolster hair growth. Ayurveda and other ancient hair practices would not abound if they were farcical and there are a few studies that support oil + hair growth. Long story short… y’all should read to comprehend, watch to comprehend, and do further research because nothing these doctors said is in opposition of oils and hair growth; they are merely highlighting that more controlled studies need to be done for them to say otherwise (which as medical practitioners, is responsible). Edit: I actually don’t have to wash my hair very frequently, my scalp is soft and healthy, and my scalp never itches (at this point) though I can wash my hair frequently if I want to so your correlation is fallible 🙄🥴

Agreed. Oils by itself don't magically make the hair grow. Most of us who invested money to buy our pricey oils, and time to select, mix, and use our oils, also did this at a time when we decided to be more *intentional* with our hair. Oiling is often combined with other things like more consistent routines, lower manipulation and scalp massages, which do promote hair growth. Introducing 'hair growth' oils may just have been the tool we needed at the time to get us going on our healthy hair routines... But we probably didn't need it anyway.

Informational, refreshing and I must say I am definitely with you on this one. Taking care of your hair should begin with taking care of your health. Hair grows from the inside out. The thing is it's so much easier to look for a magic oil than being patient and consistent with eating right, exercising and hydration. Thank you sooooo much again for amazing content. Love from South Africa.

Based on research I've done in the past year, I agree with everything mentioned in this video. THIS is what I call great content! Entertaining, informative and accurate! Thanks Jenn!!

Im confused by people saying oils help hair growth. Is hair growth not controlled by cell division and the phases of a cell cycle. When people say that they can speed up hair growth rate, its like saying they are editing the genome of the cell and bypassing cell growth check points. Like, how does applying something to your scalp control something thats encoded in your dna. Increasing things like blood flow can work if those cells are deficient in oxygen to make the cell function as it SHOULD (which is genetically predetermined) but not making it function at 125%. People saying their topical oil can change the life cycle of a cell should really contact cancer research about this unchecked cell growth that is causing 5 inches in a month. Yeah okay lol. I mean sure you can decrease the growth rate of a cell by starving it what it needs, then replenishing those needs will make the cells function as they are designed, not faster or more.

I decrease the amount of oils and just stick to the butter I make and that's it but I really don't be needing that sometimes. When you stop stressing yourself and your hair amount about some length that's when you hair will grow. Yall in yall hair business and it don't like that lol. Be in the business of ya health.

Thank you for this video. If oils worked the way people trying to sell them professed then we all could have long hair right? People are even in the comments saying oils gave them more than 3 times the average growth a month 🤦🏽‍♀️ the research does NOT back up the claims. I just wish that we would take the money, time and effort and spend it on healthy nutrient-dense foods, supplements (like collagen) that are proven to benefit hair skin and nails, exercise (highly underestimated in how much BLOOD FLOW it brings to the scalp) and scalp massage. And we need to STOP looking to East and South Asian women for inspiration. Those women on average have longer anagen phases and highly resilient follicles due to shape. Their hair would grow to long lengths regardless of their Ayurvedic methods...and it's exactly why their descendants around the world who DON'T do it still have long luscious hair (many of whom I grew up with). White women do NONE of this and their hair grows long... why aren't we connecting the dots 🤦🏽‍♀️ There are some deep rooted psychologies of black women in particular being exploited knowingly and unknowingly by companies... getting us to empty our pockets, unnecessarily chasing something we don't need and could just as easily walk to.

So hard to hear but so true!!! Thank you ❤

In all seriousness though I learned something new today! Idk why it has never crossed my mind that perhaps one could see some sort of results INGESTING oils versus topical application. BUT for the people applying oils topically and ‘seeing results’ makes me think of the idea of nature versus nurture and I think that people are so convinced that hair growth oils work because by the time they’ve reached the point to want to try one, they are actually so focused on their hair and are actually taking care of their hair properly like they should have been all along because they want to see results. Is it the oil causing the growth or people taking their time to massage their scalp that is stimulating the hair growth? 🤔

All I say is do what is best for you and your hair. Do what makes your hair happy. Everybody's hair and scalp is different. People have said this a thousand times but it is the absolute truth. Don't follow something because everyone is saying it. Some people's hair might flourish without raw oils but some people's hair might not flourish without raw oils either. This is why we all have different skin care routines, some of us have combination skin or dry skin or oily skin and we tailor our skin care to fit our skin type and needs. You can't expect someone with dry skin to use the routine of someone with oily skin. That wouldn't work. What their skin needs would not be met. That is how I see hair too, each person's hair flourishes when they have found what works specifically for them and that might not be routine or technique that everyone is telling you to do. Just be free to make the right choice for yourself and hair. I myself will be still using oils because I believe it works for me.

The problem of any treatment either medical or for hair growth is that it works from body to body from organism to organism it did not work for you but it might work for someone else. I see many people loving coconut oil but for my hair it is a no . But olive oil it works for me and might not work for someone else. It is the same with rice water I saw many people on KZread saying that rice water worked on their hair but then appeared this one KZreadr saying "guys the water rice does not work for me I tried to use it and my hair just got broken " and maybe she had and some protein intolerance.

They do this to increase shelf life, and decrease odor (oils smell over time, some a very short period of time). If you REALLY want the benefits of your oils and essential oils. You have to obtain pharmaceutical grade form of it (which is NOT in your cosmetics product...pharmaceutical grade is damn near triple the price of cosmetic grade...food grade is even cheaper...so a lot of cosmetic products use food grade oils/essential oils) or take it in pill form or eat it; I'm guess consumption is always better over pill form???

Many years ago, before it was popular on KZread....I was taken biotin for hair growth. When I went to the doctor for my check up and she ask if I'm taken anything I told her biotin, she asked why, and I told her (I was having hair issues). She basically told me biotin doesn't work like that, and I immediately stopped wasting my money. I wasn't seeing any results anyway.

I never got why people are so focused on super fast hair growth. Now, I understand wanting longer hair and retaining that length but stressing over 5 inches in a month is too much I think. But it's hard to tell people to relax about hair 😅 it's universally an important thing (I don't want to lose hair either so I understand those dealing w hair loss and related anxiety who are unable to get professional help)

Thank you Jenn for this info, since my 30DayDetox 7/21 and consistently taking the vitamins recommended by my doctor my hair has grown a lot. I’m drinking more water, I exercise 4 days week and I only do wash and goes. I need to try another body detox. I did try hair vitamins at one time, no longer. No oils or butters for me.

This is great content!

Very informative. Thanks Jenn

I have waist length hair, every time I get pregnant I have to cut a substantial amount off, hair growth oils always give me a boost to grow it back… they may not work for her but they definitely work for me.. furthermore I got my husband’s beard thicker with jbco, and now he swears by it sooo y’all can keep the science I literally seen the proof myself ❤️..and to clarify not saying nutrition and proper hair care is not the most important.. but oils are definitely a boost

It's amazing how watching this video I got a bunch of related hair growth/loss ads but your other videos do not have that related ad factor. To the point of oil use I do think it's all in the mind and how you care for your hair while using said oil. I've noticed when I used less oil on my scalp, there is less dandruff and flaking.

Well let me tell y’all, I have been using Hair, Nails and Skin gummies for a few years and I think they work for me. Along with a healthy diet and exercise is all we really need to grow and look and feel good IJS. I never was sold on the hair growth oils cause I never had a problem growing my hair. Love y’all 💖

I ain't mad🤭 I watched the entire video, but ima still use oils. It's very soothing on my scalp.

Girl, how do we watch the same videos? I watch Dr. Dray when I want to learn more about my skin and how to apply certain products. I ran up on Dr. Heath and Dr. Mitchell through Seun’s video a couple of months ago. That’s how I learned about the study on Rosemary. Great job bringing the medical professionals to the conversation! I’m still waiting on my KZread University degree in the mail. I know I should have graduated by now.😂😂

My hair has literally grown so much from being patient, really investing in quality ingredients, quality food, and consistency! I’ve been cleaning my stash, and the castor oil, and other things had to go! And I’m not mad about it!

i have finally watch that!! i really felt very mad when this vedio first uploaded cause hair growth oil are just like the natural hair god but after watching it you are totally right oil dont grow your hair but they still have arole in moisturizing sealing moisture lenght retention ... no one can tell me that my 4c hair after ahot oil treament is the same without it lol...i agree also that their is certain product may work better than oil like the one that your using in your no oil no butter routine but is not affordable to all so i belive that oils and butter work really good with nature hair ...i dissagree with the part of protective style...going to the astylest and do astyle so tight to the point it rip your hair out is not aprotective style ... loose braid or twist it the true protective style...loving the effort that u but in your content💛

Folks have gotten to root causes much faster because of best practice sharing, as you have stated, everything is not always one size fits all. Also, you don’t have to have pharmaceutical grade oil to see results; thats another gimmick; you can check efficacy or produce your own oil from the plant. Folks were saying Walmart supplements weren’t the best when a study was done it was shown to be as effective as some of the most expensive. Y’all just have to learn to fact check. Remember sometimes….we’ll in many cases it can take a while…..multiple test & trials to get to the root cause. You have to be patient with yourself throughout the process.

FACTS JENN! those protective styles are so hard on my hair! They are defeating the purpose!! 😫

Watched to the end and thanks for sharing...now I am on the comments 😀

Been taking vitamins (including a complete Omega) along with a multi collagen protein peptide powder.

I stopped oiling and switched to minoxidil and stemoxidine instead. I am seeing improved density with minoxidil and stemoxidine .Oils just made my hair greasy , shed like crazy, and dandruff/ seborrheic dermatitis.

This was a very thorough insight into the need for a holistic approach to beauty and hair. I will reiterate for the benefit of some viewers some ‘hair growth oils’ can work. Well formulated ones that is. From the formulation standpoint, the efficacy of a homemade oil and herb mix and a laboratory tested one will have a world of difference. When formulating, we use ingredients that have been analysed and certified to contain the needed percentage of active ingredient. For instance, liquorice extract can have brightening effects on the skin. But you can’t just grind up some liquorice root and think it’s a brightener. You’ll have to get an extract that has been analysed and certified to contain the proper amount of active ingredient, formulate with it and then test the efficacy. But most companies these days just throw in a few herbs and slap a label on it, just for the money. So look out for companies that give info on the efficacy of their products on their website and have certificates of analysis (COA) to back it up.

I stopped oiling my scalp in February 2021 , I started weekly wash days and I don't have a dry or irritated scalp anymore. I've retained around 4.5 inches in 2021 and I think it's because my detangling and blowdrying techniques are not great yet. I'm using my oil stock on my skin or against frizz when I'm taking down a rods set and I don't plan to repurchase them as haircare essentials. There's nothing to lose by just trying it for a few weeks , if not oiling your scalp for 2-4 weeks is all it takes to damage your hair, maybe your hair is not as healthy as you want to believe 😉

Its the last sentence for me 🤐

Also we have to be smarter consumers! The biotin thing was kind of mind blowing but it just goes to show how companies and brands will play on and market to our insecurities. I’m not going to say which brand but I recently saw an IG post from a popular brand stating that #1 we shouldn’t wash our hair with shampoo on a weekly basis but to do so every other week and co-wash instead (yikes) 😬. This is also a brand that has a hair growth oil and a hair butter (that has shea butter in the first 5 ingredients)…so if they’re telling folks not only to not shampoo on a weekly basis but I’m sure they will encourage the use of their oil and butter based products…i feel for any customer of theirs who listens to that advice and then does so in conjunction with using their recommended hair products. 🥴

I’ve been crying for someone to do this video for ages now!😭 I mean natural hair influencers do make us lose some $$. I’m not going to blame them, but they do play a part. Edit: thank you for this video

Yeeeaahh…. idk about growth oils but a nice scalp 💆🏾‍♀️ has always helped me… oil or no oil.

Facts!!!

You are doing the Lord's work. I am amazed that folks are so willing to dismiss what these three doctors-experts in their field- have said. Man, we are in a dark place, truly.

My hair grew the most when I was in my best shape and was intentional on not causing breakage. I stopped letting people braid my hair cause they weren't used to my "thin and scalpy/fine and sparse" 4c. Seeing so much breakage from others manipulation would make me cry. I spent all that time being gentle on my hair only and growing it only to lose it again. I have locs now but I wanna cut them and start over again. 😩

I need to ask a question, and it may seem as if I'm being disingenuous, but I really would like some input - - can someone explain to me what is the point of protective styling if the person wearing them does them constantly, and never (or rarely) wearing their own hair. In other words, what exactly is being protected and for what reason if one never opts to reveal and wear their natural hair? I've known so many women who install one protective style after another - put in, take down, wash and reinstall, wherein there is no time spent enjoying their natural hair. Also, if a woman opts to do that, and she most definitely is entitled to do so, why not shave your head or cut one's hair very low in order to have the ideal foundation upon which those protective styles are more easily installed without the risk of damage? If you frequently wearing protective styles, then why isn't their hair growing. Hair is optimally growing when not manipulated, right?

Hey it depends , Yes protective styles somewhat improvise hair growth in the sense that your not disturbing your hair a lot but sometimes in these styles your hair might be neglected leading to breakage and also sometimes them protective styles be tight . Also about 5 months through my big chop stage . I started getting braids especially for the winter months , The point was to keep my hair away so I’m not twirling it around and combing it every single day and it worked for me especially in those stages where it was hard to really do twists or cornrow my hair … Also you have to understand, Natural hair isn’t really always accepted by everyone and to some ‘protective styles on the reg is their way to blend in .

I found that if I put any type of oil to my scalp it would cause my scalp to start to itch. I stopped and my scalp no longer itches. Has this happened with anyone else and what other methods did you use to promote hair growth?

Yes, I couldn't understand why my scalp itched so much. People would tell me that it's because it was growing. I stopped eating dairy and oiling my scalp and the itch went away. I do however use a light oil if and only if my scalp gets dry. But I also increase my water intake and cut the sugar.

I have so many questions turn out of my head. Some are maybe strange but... If I put oil in my leg everyday are they folecule of my leg will lock until stop to grow? Which differences are they between the skin of our body and scalp? We do put some cream to protect our body skin and why not to our scalp?🤷🏾‍♀️ I really see a big differences on my lashes with castor oil so my lashes was there but just get fuller? I know to do research they need money but I do not understand why for exemple castor oil they do not have more research same for the other oils ... brief Younger, I lost my front hair because I use relaxer and bleach at the same time (i know bad idea 😬) brief I bought a french brand to oil my scalp the main ingrédient are black castor oil and my hair go back. But recenthly I buy it again and now I have more knowledge and plus I read the ingrédients I read it has Rosemary in it...so your video come in good time for me

Luv this video thank you 🥰💙.. I’ve seen that video with the three black dermatologist👍🏾🥰..but yes I’ve been trying to eat right .. I’m definitely trying to give up sugar but Uumm that alcohol 🍷 I’m going to need a little more time 🤣

Just do what works for you. Oils and vitamins with biotin got my hair growing like crazy! I stopped listening to all these hair gurus and found what works best for me. Don’t let what she says stop your flow.

I used to use a growth oil and when that stuff was on my scalp it was itch city and this was the next day or so after wash day.

But the problem is the regulation of said products. What the problem is companies being allowed to used terminology such as “hair growth oils”. I also have seen biotin and oil products marketed with labels stating “scientifically proven”. So I agree they are lying to us to capitalize off of us.

I work in the industry. 15 years of being a chemist of personal care products. You're right, in the US companies can get away with using these terms; will not fly in Europe and Asia!!! If you're wondering about the FDA...they only check cosmetics with drug claims like sunscreens and hand sanitizer. All else they don't care about. The way around this is buying your products from bigger corporations like Unilever, Coty, Estee Lauder, P&G, etc. They fact check each other's claims, and if anything is out of line, they will take each other to court and sue. Law suits are expensive and means products being pulled off of shelves so they make sure their claims have clinical/consumer test attached to them. That's why you don't see crazy claims from big companies like these. These companies have whole departments for fact checking. When you buy from these small niche companies, they are free to make whatever crazy claim they want. The big companies aren't checking them because they aren't making enough money to cut into their profit.

Couldn’t agree more. I was just too lazy to do any of this stuff

i believe the commercial oils are not good because if you know the brand (Difeel) for example they have almond oil if you look at the ingredients they have so much other stuff in the oil. I do believe if you make your own oil you will have better success. I use diy ginger and Rosemary oil and too me it works well I am seeing growth. Olive oil works good for my hair as well. i noticed that before I knew about the natural hair care. not every oil is for everyone, you have to know what works for you.

I have used Diy clove oil on a daily basis my hair grew a lot!! I really think people reacts differently when it comes to hair products. I also used coconut on a consistent basis and my hair grew a lot also. Sometimes these scientific studies don’t work on other people!!

Thank you 😊 I agree wholeheartedly, this video like many others similar to this they immensely generalised everything to the point of nauseous, they take their anecdotal experience as a generalisation matter trying to make it a fact! It’s ironic when we think about it, black women who happen to have the longest hair length here in KZread, they use OILS SPORADICALLY 🙃😶🤣 same in Africa, women and girls at the village they don’t use chemically hair products instead they use oils, butter like Shea or cacao butter or butter from milk, they do it for centuries their scalp don’t suffer from alopecia, eczema or hair falling because there isn’t endocrine disrupters which comes with hair products‼️🤷🏾‍♀️

I do believe that hair growth is internal however a major part of seeing growth is Length retention so oils might not grow hair but the help with creating slip smoothing the cuticles protecting the hair which lessens breakage increases length retention and at the end of the day we feel like I used this oil and it grew my hair

@lbrandly4388

Using a botanical gel on a WNG has the same effect you’ve just described concerning slip and retention w/o the oil stains and weighted frizzy hair.

If you took the water out of your hair routine your hair won't flourish. Whereas if you took the hair growth oils/raw oils out of your hair routine your hair will still grow. It's all about hydration.

I admit that I’ve tried some them so I know that they don’t work or at least the ones I’ve tried. Wild Growth Oil

Great video

I've been following in your footsteps for the past five years. I've stopped using oils on my scalp and grooming techniques. Claiming that oils are a lie. My hair was actually booming and growing like crazy and healthier than ever before in the care and then suddenly it started to break and break when I wanted to go back to the care it became unresponsive. And dry like a desert, it has stopped growing for three years, and no treatment has worked for me in ending the splitting and roughness, such as electric wires. Please stop this. Otherwise, the consequences will be dire.

Very true Jenn they don't work period
