Hair loss is genuinely connected to low vitamin D levels — there’s solid research on this. But even if you’re supplementing orally, topical application reaches the follicle more directly.
Mix 1–2 capsules into your oil. One thing to note: D3 capsules are usually oil-based already (tiny softgels), so they blend in well without any residue.
Good for: diffuse hair thinning, hair fall that started suddenly.
Biotin Capsules
Biotin’s reputation took a hit because people oversold it, but it still plays a real role in keratin production. Applied topically, it can strengthen the hair shaft and reduce breakage — which is not the same as growing new hair, but it does make existing hair look and feel thicker.
Break open 1 capsule and mix into warm oil. Biotin powder doesn’t dissolve fully in oil, so shake well before each use.
Good for: brittle hair, breakage, fine hair that snaps easily.
Evening Primrose Oil Capsules
These are full of GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), a fatty acid your scalp uses to regulate oil production. If your scalp is either too dry or producing too much sebum, EPO can help balance it out.
Squeeze 3–4 capsules into your base oil. It has a faint nutty smell that disappears once you rinse.
