Why Use Hair Oils
Oils help reduce moisture loss, improve shine, and support scalp health. They can protect hair from breakage and environmental damage when used correctly.
Top Oils for Hair
Coconut oil penetrates the hair shaft and may reduce protein loss. Argan oil is lightweight and rich in vitamin E. Jojoba oil resembles natural sebum, helping to balance scalp moisture. Castor oil is often used to support thicker-looking hair. Rosemary oil may promote circulation when diluted properly.
How to Apply Hair Oils
Warm a small amount of oil between your palms and apply it to damp or dry hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. For scalp massage, use a few drops and distribute evenly. Avoid applying large amounts near the roots if you have fine hair. Leave the oil on for at least 30 minutes or overnight, then wash out with a gentle cleanser.
