Black Seed Oil for Hair: How to Use It

Black seed oil (Nigella sativa) is a popular natural oil for hair and scalp care. Here's why people use it and how to apply it.

Why people use it on hair

• Conditions & nourishes: coats and softens the hair, helping it look shinier and healthier.
• Scalp comfort: a soothing massage oil that may help with dryness and flaking.
• Antioxidant-rich: contains thymoquinone and fatty acids that nourish the scalp.

What to expect

Black seed oil is great for conditioning, scalp comfort and reducing breakage, which can support the look of fuller, healthier hair over time. There's no clinical proof it cures hair loss — use it as a nourishing care oil, consistently. (General information, not medical advice.)

How to use it

1. Massage a small amount into the scalp for a few minutes.
2. Work through to the ends; leave 30 minutes to overnight.
3. Shampoo out. Use 1–2x a week.
