Using carrot oil for hair can promote a whole lot of hair health, think smooth silky locks that keep on growing. Don’t believe us? Check out our ultimate carroty guide for using carrot oil for hair.
So why has carrot-mania spread from the rabbit world to ours? Carrot oil contains huge levels of vitamin A, vitamin E, and beta carotene, which are essential nutrients for hair health. Using Carrot oil for hair is thought to promote hair growth and softness, while strengthening your precious hair follicles. Think luscious, shiny locks that last and last. Interestingly, drinking your 5-a-day in carrot juice has been scientifically shown to increase hair abundance in volunteers suffering from hair loss, spraying carrot juice in hair also has a similar effect.

Thanks to that cocktail of delightful vitamins, carrot oil is thought to revitalise your locks in a multitude of ways.
Although there aren’t any specific studies concerning the risks of carrot oil, you should always practice caution when starting a new hair treatment and be mindful of the potential risks below.
There are many products on the market containing carrot extracts and oils (we list our faves below), if you’d prefer to use a DIY treatment you can create your own hair mask at home. For a simple oil application, dilute 3-4 drops of carrot essential oil with 2-4 tablespoons of a carrier oil such as coconut oil. Use oil sparingly depending on your hair type. Work the oil treatment through your hair while massaging it into your scalp. Comb through your hair, cover with a plastic cap and leave for an hour before washing out with shampoo.
To create a rinse, mix 3-4 drops of essential carrot oil with 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Apply to your hair after shampooing, leave for 5 minutes before rinsing again.
If you'd prefer to spray carrot juice in hair, simply follow these few steps. Juice the carrots with some water to create a liquid mixture. Decant the carrot juice into a spray bottle. Spritz the carrot juice evenly over dry hair, including the roots and ends. Leave the carrot juice on your hair for 15 minutes to absorb the nutrients. Finally, finish by washing and conditioning your hair as usual.
