    TLDR Moringa seed oil may help prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.
    The review article suggests that Moringa oleifera seed oil has potential as a natural remedy for alopecia due to its phytosterols (such as ß-sitosterol) and fatty acids (including oleic acid, linoleic acid, and lauric acid), which inhibit the formation of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a compound linked to hair loss. These components support hair growth by enhancing scalp circulation, stimulating hair cell proliferation, and providing antioxidant benefits. The review is based on data from 55 articles, with 10 meeting the criteria for detailed analysis, and concludes that further research is needed to confirm these effects.
