Ten years ago, I remember the benefits of oils were limited to cooking and cars. Now, oils are used for everything and their fanbase only grows as their true power is realized. One thing oils are renowned for is their benefits for your hair.
There’s an oil for every kind of hair. Thin, coarse, greasy, dry and even hair that isn’t growing fast enough. Oils are a great way to repair damage and give you a healthier looking mane.
Check out the list of top 5 hair oils below to find what could give your hair the boost it craves:
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is used for what seems like everything under the sun. But now, it’s also been scientifically backed as a hair repair product. Researchers of cosmetology found that coconut oil “was the only oil found [compared to other mineral oils] to reduce the protein loss remarkably for both undamaged and damaged hair when used as a pre-wash and post-wash grooming product. Coconut oil has a high affinity for hair proteins and is able to penetrate inside the hair shaft. “
Coconut oil is effective on all hair types and won’t contribute to greasiness. It helps to refresh your scalp, promote shine and moisturize your hair. It’s also known to contribute to faster hair growth and frizz-elimination.
Macadamia Oil
Due to its structural similarities to body oils, macadamia oil is easy to be absorbed by the skin and the hair. Because of this, macadamia oil is an intensive treatment for improving hair strength, preventing damage, moisturizing and kicking split ends to the curb.
You can use it as a weekly mask, or even as a daily leave-in conditioner in small amounts. It’s particularly effective when used as a post-heat styling treatment. It also contains SPF 6, which can help prevent sunburns on the scalp or drying of your tresses.
Argan Oil
Argan oil’s popularity as a hair treatment originated in Morocco. Moroccans kept it as their secret weapon against dry, frizzy hair. It’s rich in vitamin E and fatty acids, which contribute to softer, shinier hair.
It’s best used warm. Once the oil is slightly warmed, massage it into the hair and blow dry. Regular use of argan oil make for beautiful, manageable hair.
Almond Oil
This oil is overflowing with nutrients. With a high content of antioxidants, fatty acids, vitamin E, magnesium, protein and a handful of other vitamins, it’s a perfect concoction to get your hair super healthy.
Almond oil has numerous benefits for the hair and skin. It’s great for strengthening hair and improving the look, but that’s not where the benefits end. If you suffer from scalp irritation, almond oil could save the day by helping to reduce inflammation, redness and getting rid of dandruff.
It’s used best warm and massaged from the scalp to the tips. Leave it on as a night mask and wash off with a non-sulphate shampoo in the morning.
Peppermint Oil
Peppermint oil is a recent revolution in hair care. Peppermint oil is excellent at promoting hair growth without any toxicity accompanying its use.
This oil is great for hair growth and preventing hair loss. Leave it in in small amounts throughout the day or use it as a tingly overnight hair mask. Both uses should yield great results.
