Fish oil with its omega-3 fatty acid is a vital requirement of a healthy body and hair. It is one of the best essential oils to help prevent hair loss.

Fish oil is made from the tissue of oily fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, lake trout and sardines. Fish oil contains important omega-3 fatty acids, most notably eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These omega-3 fatty acids are believed to have health benefits ranging from reducing the risk of heart attack and coronary heart disease to combating depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. In addition, the omega-3 fatty acids can also provide nutrients and proteins for the hair follicles, which can support healthy hair growth, prevent hair loss and add shine and luster to the hair.
