Hair problems are common in men. Statistics show that about 85% of men suffer from some sort of hair and scalp disorders.

Some of the common hair problems of men include hair thinning, excessive hair loss, pattern balding, early graying of hair, dry or oily hair, split end, breakage, etc. [1]

Male-pattern baldness or Androgenetic alopecia is the most prevalent hair problems. Hair experts say that it’s normal to lose about 100 strands a day if there’s a normal cycle of hair regrowth. [2]

With time various factors may prevent the process of regrowth, and you may start noticing thin hair and baldness. The causes vary from genetics, androgen hormone, autoimmune disease, anemia, thyroid problems, scalp infections, nutrient deficiency in food, stress, hair styling methods, to side effects of certain medications and hair care products, etc. [2]

Shampoo and other hair care products are not enough for a head full of healthy and strong hair.

Natural hair oils are a good source of nutrients and therapeutic properties beneficial for hair. Some of these oils can ensure strong lock and scalp in men. The oils can prevent numerous scalp and hair diseases as well.

Below we have come up with a list of 7 best hair oils for men, backed by evidence.

Pumpkin seed oil is a potent source of essential vitamins, nutrients, unsaturated fatty acids, antioxidants, linoleic, oleic acid, and anti-inflammatory properties.

A 2014 clinical research published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine (eCAM) shows the potential of pumpkin seed oil as an alternative treatment for Androgenetic Alopecia or baldness in men. [3]

The trial among 76 Androgenetic Alopecia male patients with 400 mg of pumpkin seed oil per day for 24 weeks showed a 40% increase in the hair count. The hair treatment did not show any adverse side effects. More research is necessary to confirm the positive mechanisms of pumpkin seed oil for hair growth. [3

2. Lavender Essential Oil

Lavender essential oil or Lavandula officinalis is one of the most popular aromatic oils. The oil comes from the leaves and flowers of the lavender plant. The oil is known more for its potent sedative properties in promoting sleep, calming stress and anxiety.

Lavender oil may be an important addition to your hair care regimen. Recent clinical studies investigated the hair growth effects of lavender oil.

3-5% of lavender oil application once per day for 4 weeks showed a significantly increased amount of hair follicles in the rats. [4] The researchers conclude that lavender oil has fast hair growth effects. However, we need more research to confirm the efficacy of lavender oil for hair treatment in humans.

Mekeral derived fermented fish oil is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids, and saturated fatty acids.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is omega-3 fatty acid that constitutes the 7.4% of fermented fish oil. [8]

A 2018 research in Jeju National University investigated the efficacy of DHA in mekeral derived fermented fish oil to promote hair growth. The study lasted 14 days, and the researchers concluded that DHA in fermented fish oil could increase the number of dermal papilla cells and increase the length of hair fibers by 175.1%. [9]

Fermented fish oil may be an effective hair oil to boost DPC and hair regrowth in men.
