How to Use Sesame Oil for Hair Growth: Benefits & Tips

Sesame oil, also known as til ka tel in India, is one of the oldest oils used by humans. It is prepared using sesame seeds (til seeds), which are highly revered in our culture. The ancient Hindu writings refer to sesame as a symbol of long life and purity.

Indians, as well as other people, have been using sesame oil in cooking and for skin and hair care for centuries. According to Ayurveda, sesame oil is called a natural healer. It is also warm and nourishing to the scalp and highly relaxing for a head massage.

To this day, sesame oil remains a common belief among families as a natural method to strengthen Hair, prevent hair loss, and provide shine to flat Hair.

The Matrika Natural Foods adhere to this ancient tradition. We introduce cold-pressed, pure sesame oil, prepared using the traditional Kolhu (Ghani) technique. This retains its natural colour, taste, smell, and every other nutrient, as nature intended it to be.

What Makes Sesame Oil Good for Hair?

The sesame oil is a rich oil that benefits both the scalp and Hair. When used correctly, it is harmless and mild, unlike the oils that have chemical properties. We shall now see some of the principal reasons why it is so convenient:

• Vitamin E- helps to prevent hair damage and softens it.
• Zinc, copper, magnesium, calcium and iron – build hair roots.
• Omega-6 fatty acids -help to make Hair soft and shiny.
• Antibacterial and antifungal properties help fight dandruff and scalp infections.

It also has a special natural substance called sesamolin. This makes sesame oil last longer without losing its goodness.

When used for Hair, this oil penetrates deeply into the scalp, removing dryness, improving blood flow, and helping new Hair grow stronger.

Proven Benefits of Sesame Oil for Hair

Sesame oil has proven its powers over many years, as Ayurveda and home remedies have testified. Its positive effects are also reflected in modern studies. Here are the top benefits:

1. Stops Premature Greying

Sesame oil possesses hair-darkening properties in its natural state. It will make your Hair maintain its natural colour longer. It is also shielded against destruction from dust, pollution, and chemicals.

When you apply warm sesame oil to your head (once or twice a week), it helps to revitalise blood circulation. This helps strengthen the roots of Hair and promote new hair growth.

3. Boosts UV defence of Hair

Our Hair is just as hurt as the rest of our skin is by the bright sun. Sesame oil creates a thin layer of natural protection on strands of Hair, thus shielding them against the sun and pollution in the city.
