It seems like many essential oils gets absorbed through the skin easily and some have anti-androgenic effects. Has anyone had results with any or a combination of oils?

Pumpkin oil seems to have an ar5 enzymatic effect

I suggest against castor oil I personally can't find any studies showing improved hair growth on it but people say it does. I'd like to see a study however(Because i can't find one).

There are others you just have to find them, like jujuba oil:

Currently I've researched about ~10 compounds that have shown to increase hair growth in various stages of hair development from enzyme upregulation, anti-inflammatory, growth factor promotion, increased blood flow, improved capillary circulation etc etc all things that CAN improve hair. I see a lot of people just 'listen' to others on what they should do but I strongly suggest to do your research!

I'm on pumpkin seed oil. Too early to tell if it does anything.

From previous experience with bull**** supplements, not expecting anything superduper mega awesome supreme.

I've taken pumpkin oil orally. I noticed a large increase in sex drive. After a few months, I had an issue with frequent urination and a strange feeling near my prostate so I stopped. Not sure it was correlated, but I quit just out of an abundance of caution.

I'm planning on trying the following topically:
- Castor Oil
- Jujuba Oil
- Rosemary Oil

There was an interesting paper on Rosemary in particular (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25842469). Just for the record, I've been fighting hair loss since I was 12 and I am now 30. Very diffused. This may be my last stand for any hair. minoxidil worked great for me for about 10 years but I was sick of looking like I hadn't slept and had sunken eyes along with hair loss. If there is any miracle with this, I'll be sure to let everyone know.
