Hair oil is a conditioning product for your hair that, depending on the oil you use, nourishes, degreases, shines or repairs your hair. It is a great way to give your hair that extra bit of attention. Putting oil in your hair suggests that you are making your oily hair greasier. It does not. The right oil actually addresses this problem. By feeding your hair with good oils such as argan oil, coconut oil and almond oil, you not only nourish your hair, you also prevent hair loss. A healthy head of hair is a happy and full head of hair.
Hair oil prevents damaged hair
Hair, especially long hair, can be easily damaged by everyday things. From combing your hair to the brightness of the sun. Even just going through your hair with your hands or wearing a cap can damage your hair. Also, paradoxically, the use of some shampoos can dry out your hair or make it brittle. By using hair oil, you protect your hair from these harmful elements.
How do you apply hair oil to your hair?
How you apply hair oil differs a little from oil to oil. It is important not to use too much.
Spread some drops on your hands and apply it to the hair. For curly hair, knead the oil into the hair in a sort of squeezing motion.
Apply the hair oil mainly to the ends of the hair. About 10 cm from the roots. This avoids your scalp becoming greasy from the oil and the hair looking oily.
Style the hair as usual afterwards. Most natural hair oils do not need to be washed out.
Is hair serum the same as hair oil?
Not quite. There is a subtle difference between hair oil and hair serum. Hair oil is something you apply to your hair. It soaks into the hair to protect your strands. Hair serum is applied in the same way, but it lays down a protective layer. The best way to apply the oil is from the scalp to the tips. Therefore, it is easy to use in combination with other hair growth products such as a lotion or shampoo.
What are the best hair oils?
The best hair oil differs from person to person. So choose the best one for your hair or your hair problem. Professional natural hair oils are often concentrated and specially developed for hair. We therefore recommend not grabbing a bottle of olive oil from the kitchen, but going for high quality oils. Here are specially developed oils for hair and hair problem:
