You may be familiar with using cedarwood for aromatherapy purposes. Applied topically or dispersed through the air, these oils exert a natural calming effect. The oils from this giant tree also seem to soothe your hair, providing gentle benefits that promote hair growth and vitality.

The beauty in the woods

Cedar trees are relatively plentiful across the country, so their oil is in rich supply. What this means for you is that in terms of beauty products, cedarwood oil is affordable. Throw in the fact that it is completely natural and free of chemicals and additives, and you have the making for the ultimate hair conditioner. 

There are several different types of cedarwood oils you can use, and it depends largely on the tree from which they are taken. Each of the oils is beneficial for skin and hair care, but some have more targeted benefits. 

Atlas cedarwood oil is the best for haircare and provides direct support for follicle growth and enrichment. Cedarwood has anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiseptic properties. It also contains vitamins A, B, C, and E. 

Known for use in skin toners to calm irritations, cedarwood helps relieve dry scalps and allows hair to retain moisture. In doing so, itchiness and flakiness are prevented, and your hair stays moisturized and dandruff free.

Cedarwood oil helps to stimulate hair follicles and improves blood circulation. Both events help encourage healthy hair growth, making cedarwood oil a primary candidate for preventing and reversing hair loss. 

Especially when combined with other essential oils, cedarwood is gentle yet powerful enough to grow the hair you want without having to rely on irritating chemicals.

Cedarwood vs. hair loss

Hair shedding and thinning can happen to anyone at any age. As you get older, your hair turns gray and gets brittle and thin. Sure, you gain some wisdom as you age, but do you have to lose your hair too? 

While some loss will occur and you can't control it, you can help minimize thinning and loss by encouraging stronger hair growth. The strength your hair needs to overcome aging and thinning lies in cedarwood oil. 

Even though stress, hormone changes, infections, and toxins will do their best to destroy your beautiful locks, regular use of cedarwood oil will prevent serious damage. You can make dietary and lifestyle changes too, but ultimately a drop of oil here and there will go a long way.
