Should I use Hair Oil?

Should I use Hair Oil?

Choosing to use hair oil is a personal decision. We all have different types of hair that will respond uniquely depending on our hair needs. Many people are tired of struggling with dry, frizzy, limp, dull hair, which could result from chemical treatments, styling, heat damage, environmental factors, or genetics. 

Most people seek oil to moisturize their hair because textured hair cannot support itself sufficiently, leading to breakage. Our hair follicles produce sebum, a natural oil that travels down the hair shaft and keeps hair healthy and hydrated. However, the oil fails to spread evenly along the hair fiber for many people due to tight curls. Therefore, we need to find an oil supplement.

Along with our hair’s inability to stay moisturized sufficiently, we are notorious for changing our hairstyles, often resulting in chemical treatments, extreme tension from braids, and excessive heat exposure. While working to achieve our desired styles, we strip our hair of lipids (fatty acids), which make up roughly 5% of the hair’s weight, and play an integral role in keeping hair healthy, influencing shine, feel, manageability, and strength.

Many oils have fatty acids that help replace lipids in the hair that help soften and maximize strand glow, which gives it a unique shine and helps strengthen the hair. When the natural lipids are depleted, the hair feels dry, brittle, and dull!

Using the right hair oil is essential to maximize its benefits. 

Oils have different benefits, and when used and applied appropriately, you will love the results! 

Oiling your scalp, followed by a massage, will increase moisture, luster, and shine and help strengthen hair to reduce hair loss significantly. Following a consistent hair regimen that includes using a great shampoo + conditioner, and oiling will help maximize your results. 

What is the Best Oil for Hair?

Not all oils are created equal. Determining which oil is best for your hair depends on your texture and desired benefits. 

Best Oil for Hydration & Moisture

Avocado oil is excellent for all hair types and textures because it helps hydrate hair, reduce dandruff, prevent breakage, stimulate blood flow to the scalp, and unclog blocked follicles. Additionally, this oil helps fight against hair loss.

Best Oil for Itchy Scalp

Olive and Juniper Berry oils have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties that help calm and soothe itchy scalp and reduce irritation to help strengthen your hair roots and curb dandruff problems by eliminating fungi and bacteria, contributing to hair loss. 

Best Oil for Extra Shine

Grapes Seed and Jojoba oil are perfect for adding a little extra sheen and helping tame your tresses and locs. Both oils add shine and serve as powerful hydrators that soothe the scalp and help combat dandruff. Jojoba oil has added benefits rich in vitamins C, B, and E, and promotes hair growth and thickness. 

Best Oil for Preventing Split Ends

Rice Bran Oil is a natural heat protectant that repairs dryness, damage, and brittle hair while moisturizing it to help it thrive. As an added benefit, Rice Bran Oil also helps prevent premature greying.

Best Oil for Combating Frizz or Dryness

Sunflower and Safflower oil are packed with nutrients and antioxidants to help nourish and protect the hair against harsh environmental factors (UV rays), and they both stimulate hair growth. Frizz and dry hair can be very annoying, and dry hair is the number one challenge contributing to hair breakage and split ends.
