Hair oil

Can always be applied directly to the scalp and ends of the hair

Hair is an important part of our appearance and identity. It's also an essential organ that protects the head from external damage and keeps the body warm. But keeping hair healthy and shiny isn't always easy. That's where natural hair oil comes in. Natural hair oils can help improve hair health and add shine and softness. In this article, we'll look at the best botanical oils and raw materials for hair and scalp care.

What is hair oil?

Hair oil is an oil used to care for the hair and scalp. It can be a mixture of different natural oils and plant extracts. Hair oil is often used as a hair mask or a leave-in conditioner. It can also be applied directly to the scalp to nourish and soothe it.

Hair oil is a natural and healthy way to care for your hair and scalp, as it doesn't contain harmful chemicals and synthetic ingredients that many commercial hair care products do. Hair oils can provide different benefits and results depending on the type of oil used.

Natural hair oils are often rich in vitamins and antioxidants, which can help strengthen hair and protect it from damage. They can also moisturise and nourish the hair and scalp, prevent split ends, tame frizzy hair, reducing dandruff and adding shine and softness to hair.

Your hair will love a good oil

All experts recommend hair oil

Conventional tanks of oil mixed in hair (hair oil), easily makes you think about the idea of good oily hair. After all, oily hair is not exactly the thing and something most people try to avoid.

So why are there actual hair oils and who the heck is recommending that you put this fat in your hair?

It's none other than all the experts. All the major brands produce hair oils that contain both oil and are also designed to be smoothed into your hair.

Just like the rest of your body, your hair can dry out and turn into a dull, scalding orange. Your hair needs energy and it can get it from, among other things vitamins and minerals found in oils.

Why use natural hair oil?

Natural hair oil is a healthy alternative to commercial hair care products that may contain harmful chemicals and synthetic ingredients. Natural hair oil can help improve hair health naturally, adding shine and softness without damaging the hair or scalp. Natural hair oil is also more sustainable and environmentally friendly than many commercial hair care products.

They are the essential fatty acids which many oils also carry, that really kick-start your hair and make it shine again. Fatty acids like linoleic and linolenic acid (omega 6 and 3) are extra good for your hair.

In fact, a lack of linoleic acid can lead to hair loss, so if you suffer from seeing the floor cluttered with your lost hairs so that the vacuum cleaner has to be brought out every day, then adding the right hair oils with a good linoleic acid (omega 6) content may well be the right hair basket for you.

Most big brands produce their hair oils with all kinds of chemicals and only a small percentage of them actually contain the good and essential ingredients.

Your hair may be happy with these products, but you owe it to yourself and your neglected hair to give it back its full volume by trying the real thing.

How to use hair oil

Hair oil can be used in different ways, depending on your hair's needs and the desired effect. Here are some of the most common ways to use hair oil:

1. As a hair mask

A hair mask is a deep conditioning treatment that can help moisturise and nourish your hair and scalp. Apply a generous amount of hair oil to your hair and scalp and leave on for at least an hour, or overnight if possible. Rinse your hair thoroughly with warm water and shampoo.

2. As a leave-in conditioner

A leave-in conditioner is a lightweight treatment that can help tame frizz and add shine and softness to your hair. Apply a small amount of hair oil to damp hair and style as desired.

3. As a scalp treatment

A scalp treatment can help soothe an irritated scalp and reduce dandruff. Apply a small amount of hair oil directly to the scalp and massage gently in circular motions. Leave the oil on for at least an hour, or overnight if possible. Rinse hair thoroughly with warm water and shampoo.

Hair Oil Test - Which oil is best for your hair?

Searching online for hair oil testIf you're looking for a test, you'll find that a good portion of the various so-called tests are nothing more than recommendations of sponsored products from some of the big players in the market.

We can't help but laugh a little. But the fact is, it's a bit sad for consumers who are actually looking for a good hair oil.

On the other hand, it's no different than the fact that we will of course advertise our oils. With the exception that we can guarantee you that we won't say things like the oil smells a little synthetically perfumed, but otherwise the scent is very neutral.

Yes, we actually found that on the internet - and it makes no sense at all. Well, let's not throw stones...

However, we want you to know that all of our oils are completely pure, so they only smell like the aroma that nature intended them to smell like. None of our oils contain any synthetic content.

For good reason, we can't offer you an actual hair oil test, as it would seem silly. Instead, we recommend that you do your own test. By trying different oils for your hair, you will not only discover which oil you like best. You'll also find the oil that works best for your hair.

We're all different and so is our hair - that's why there's only one hair oil test that works - and that's your own.

Tips for choosing the right hair oil

When choosing a hair oil, there are some factors to consider to ensure you get the best quality and results. Here are some tips for choosing the right hair oil:

• Choose an oil that suits your hair type and needs.
• Choose a high-quality oil that is pure and natural.
• Avoid oils that contain synthetic ingredients or chemicals.
• Choose an oil that has a pleasant scent and is not too heavy or greasy.

Hair oil for men

Luckily, it's not just women who can benefit from a good hair oil.

Whether you have long or short hair, a hair oil provides beneficial properties such as vitamins, minerals and good moisturisation.

Men with long hair can especially benefit from the smoothing and conditioning effects of a hair oil. For men with short hair, a hair oil can actually help improve scalp health, prevent flaking and even promote new hair growth.

How do you use hair oil?

Follow these steps to apply oil to your hair:

1. Apply the oil to the scalp and massage with your fingertips in circular motions.
2. Apply the oil left on your palms to your hair.
3. Cover with a towel or shower cap and let it sit for a few hours or overnight.
4. Wash your hair the next day while it is dry. Rinse thoroughly.
5. Condition as usual. You can also use coconut oil like a balm.

How often should you use hair oils?

Do not oil your hair more than 1-2 times a week. Leave it on for about an hour or two, or less, as needed. You don't need to leave it on longer than that.

It's a bad idea to leave the oil in your hair for more than one day. Even one day is not recommended as it can cause the oil to form a layer on your scalp that clogs your pores, builds up dandruff and attracts dirt. On top of that, it will leave your scalp feeling constantly greasy and dirty.

In some cases, you can leave the oil on from late evening until the following morning. However, this should only be necessary for damaged hair.

Make your own hair oil

Once you try pure oils for your hair and experience the effects they can have on your hair, for most people there's no turning back. By trying different oils, you'll also realise that each oil has its own unique properties.

This paves the way for you to start making your very own blend of oils that you can use for your hair or body for that matter.

This is because vegetable oils can easily be blended, which means you will get the many benefits of the different oils. Read more about mix oils hereso you can get started making your very own unique hair oil.
