Hair oil trends come and go quicker than we can keep up with. It seems like everyday a new miracle hair growth oil is being advertised on Instagram or Tik Tok, claiming to grow your hair 12 inches in the matter of a few months. Whether you’re a naturalista who prefers the LOC method (Liquid, Oil, Cream) or the LCO method (Liquid, Cream, Oil) on wash day, it’s clear that oils are an essential part of every queen’s natural hair regimen.
As an avid protective hair style wearer myself, oil plays an essential role within my natural hair regimen as I use hair growth oils to keep my scalp healthy and nourished while ensuring to give a little TLC and lock in moisture on my ends that are usually tucked into my faux locs, braids, wigs, etc. I too have been a victim to false advertising as I have scrolled through social media and have been lured into purchasing an oil that claimed to grow and thicken my hair in a short amount of time, yet all it did was leave my hair feeling very greasy and heavy.
The right oil can serve as a moisturizing and soothing agent, ensuring to lock in the moisture from water to prevent your natural hair from losing moisture and causing unnecessary breakage and damage to your beautiful tresses. Especially for the kings and queens rocking their textured curls and coils, finding the perfect holy grail growth oil can be difficult as our natural curly hair textures can prevent scalp oils from traveling down the entire hair shaft.
But don’t worry. TONAL Beauty has you covered. Through a lot of trial and error, testing various hair growth oils, products, methods, and techniques, I got just the list for all my Black kings and queens that want to moisturize and grow their beautiful tresses. Ready to discover which oil is best for you? The following picks are among my holy grail of products I consider to be the best hair growth oils for natural hair. And here’s the catch- they’re all Black-owned!
