WHAT IS A HAIR OIL?

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING HAIR OIL? 

1. Moisturizing and Conditioning: Hair oils can penetrate the hair shaft, hydrating and softening dry, brittle strands. This is especially beneficial for those with coarse, curly, or chemically treated hair, which tends to be drier. 

2. Frizz Control & Smoother Hair: Anti-frizz hair oils coat the hair cuticle, taming flyaways and preventing humidity-induced frizz for sleek, manageable hair.

3. Enhanced Shine & Glossy Finish: Natural nourishing hair oils reflect light, giving hair a healthy, radiant, glossy sheen. 

4. Scalp Health: Some oils, like tea tree oil and jojoba oil, can help balance scalp oil production and soothe irritation like dry, itchy scalp. Massaging oil into the scalp can also stimulate blood circulation, potentially promoting hair growth.

5. Heat Protection & Damage Prevention: Heat protection oils can form a protective barrier around the hair shaft, shielding it from heat styling tools, environmental pollutants, and UV radiation. This can help prevent breakage and split ends.

6. Color Enhancement: Some oils, like argan oil, can help enhance hair colour and prevent fading, protecting color-treated hair

HOW TO INCLUDE HAIR OIL IN YOUR HAIR CARE ROUTINE

1. Pre-Shampoo Treatment for deep conditioning and to help repair damage:

How: Apply the oil liberally to your scalp and hair, focusing on the ends. Gently massage your scalp to stimulate blood circulation. Leave on for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight for a more intensive treatment.

Best for: Dry, damaged, coarse, or thick hair.

2. Post-Shampoo Treatment for conditioning, frizz control and moisturizing:

How: After shampooing and towel-drying your hair, apply a small amount of oil to the lengths and ends, avoiding the scalp if you have fine or oily hair.

Best for: Most hair types, especially those prone to frizz or dryness.

3. Scalp Massage for scalp health and potential hair growth:

How: Warm a small amount of oil in your hands and massage it gently into your scalp for several minutes. Focus on areas where you experience dryness or irritation. Leave on for at least 30 minutes before shampooing, or overnight.

Best for: Dry scalp, dandruff, those looking to promote hair growth.
