12 Things to Know Before Trying Wild Growth Hair Oil

Wild Growth Hair Oil has a loyal following, especially in the natural hair community, and clients bring it up often enough that it’s worth addressing directly. Like any growth oil, it has a devoted fan base and a healthy dose of hype mixed in, and separating the two matters.

Here’s what I actually tell clients considering it.

Understand It’s a Supporting Product, Not a Miracle

Like every growth oil, it supports scalp health and circulation, it doesn’t override your genetic growth rate. Set expectations accordingly.

Apply to the Scalp, Not Just the Lengths

For growth support specifically, focus application at the scalp and roots rather than saturating the ends where growth isn’t happening.

Use a Light Hand to Avoid Heaviness

A little goes a long way. Overapplying leaves hair greasy and can attract dirt and buildup rather than supporting a clean scalp.

Pair With Massage for Better Results

Massaging the oil in for a few minutes helps it work into the scalp rather than just sitting on the surface of the hair.

Patch Test Before Full Use

As with any new product, test a small area first to rule out sensitivity before applying it across your whole scalp.

Give It a Fair, Consistent Trial Period

Judge any growth oil, this one included, after a solid three months of consistent use rather than a week or two.
