🧬 1. How Black Seed Oil Supports Hair Health
✅ Promotes Hair Growth and Reduces Hair Fall
A 2014 randomized clinical trial tested a topical lotion containing Nigella sativa extract versus placebo in treating telogen effluvium (hair shedding). The group using Nigella sativa showed significant improvement in hair density and thickness.

Black seed oil contains thymoquinone, a strong antioxidant that helps protect hair from oxidative stress, one of the causes of hair weakening and breakage.

🧴 2. How Black Seed Oil Supports the Scalp
✅ Anti-inflammatory for Autoimmune Hair Loss (Alopecia Areata)
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune condition often triggered by inflammation. Thymoquinone, the active compound in Nigella sativa, has been shown to modulate immune response and reduce inflammation in various dermatological conditions.

✅ Antimicrobial Properties for Dandruff and Itchy Scalp
Black seed oil has shown antimicrobial effects against fungi and bacteria such as Malassezia furfur, which contributes to dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis.

Although human trials are limited, animal studies suggest black seed oil extends the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle and improves follicular activity, supporting stronger roots and new growth.
