Pumpkin Seed Oil for Hair Growth: Does It Really Work?

Science Meets Seeds

Pumpkin seed oil (PSO) is one of the few natural oils backed by clinical research for hair growth. It contains phytosterols that may block DHT — the hormone linked to hair thinning.

Key Benefits:

  • DHT-blocking properties

  • Rich in zinc, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids

  • Soothes inflammation and nourishes the scalp

How to Use It:

  • Apply directly to the scalp 2–3 times per week

  • Use a dropper or massage tool for targeted application

  • Combine with rosemary or peppermint oil for added stimulation

Whether you're postpartum or just in need of a growth boost, this underrated oil deserves a place in your scalp care ritual.
