Do oil massages encourage hair growth or possible regrowth?

[jess3pinkmanbiaatch]

I understand massaging scalp can nourish the hair folicles and help blood circulation, but does it sometimes lead to hair regrowth and strengthens weak thin hair?
Also what hair oils would you recommend? ?

Currently I have lavender oil which I believe is scientific lying proven to help in alopecia cases.

no they do not. The only things that have been found to increase hair growth are the following:
*Medications (two types, one type inhibits testosterone and has side effects. Minoxidil doesn't) (they increase blood flow in the scalp)
*Scrub brush when shampooing (Unclogs follicles and increases hair growth as part of the body's natural reaction to abrasion)
*Treating medical issues that cause hair loss such as thyroid medication

I know putting certain oil in your can make it stronger and less likely to break and going under a hair dryer can def help hair. I use Argan oil. Its called a hot oil treatment.
