My grandmother and my mom used to swear by castor oil to make your hair thicker. I heard that rosemary is really good for hair growth.

Bumping because I'm not making a new thread when there's a hundred like it lol. Some of the ones listed here aren't essential oils (like castor) but it's still a good thread to bump if people want to add info.

My favorite combination right now is lavender, rosemary, white thyme, carrot, cedar wood and peppermint essential oils in whatever carrier oil I have at home. This combo has been working to make my hair more full from the root, with the exception of the peppermint. I used that mixed with a carrier oil and it didn't do much... the other 5 I added though made a big difference. Thinking of getting some garlic, myrrh and bergamot. I apply it to my scalp and all over my head.

I love peppermint oil mixed with aloe vera juice and mn for growth and stimulation.

Lavender oil is great for my scalp as well. I usually mix it with evoo or safflower oil.

I've used lemon oil too. I love the smell!

Does the rose geranium have a scent strong enough to cover something like ayurvedic oils/powders you think?

Its a subtle rose scent with a minty undertone, I think you would need something stronger. A woody or herbaceous oil combined with a citrus oil could work. I know some people use may chang to cover the scent of neem.
