Provide nutrients for hair
According to dermatologist Dr. Akriti Gupta at Jivisha Clinic, India, black seed oil contains essential fatty acids and vitamins that help nourish the scalp and hair follicles, potentially supporting the growth of healthier hair.
May reduce scalp inflammation
Scalp inflammation can lead to hair loss and hinder hair growth. Black seed oil has anti-inflammatory properties, primarily due to compounds like thymoquinone, which may help reduce scalp inflammation and create a more favorable environment for hair follicles to thrive.
May have antioxidant effects
The antioxidants in black seed oil can help protect hair follicles from damage caused by oxidative stress, helping to maintain follicle health and promote hair growth.
Antibacterial activity
The antibacterial properties of black seed oil help maintain scalp health by combating bacteria that can inhibit hair growth or cause scalp conditions.
Moisturizing
Applying black seed oil to the hair can help reduce dryness and flakiness of the scalp.
