Oils by hair type
In reality, there is no single best hair oil that would suit everyone. Natural hair oils have various properties and deal with a wide range of problems – depending on what they are made from. We have selected various oils for you according to the type of hair and its problems. Don’t be afraid to experiment though – everyone needs something different.
Oil for dry hair
Do you suffer from dry,damaged hair? Discover the magic of argan and coconut oil for hair. Whether your hair lacks vitamins, minerals, or is dry due to improper hair cosmetics or hair styling, oil for dry hair will help.
- Argan oil for hair (so-called Moroccan gold) is a great, very popular hydrating hair oil which also nourishes, adds shine and offers protection from heat and UV radiation. It is suitable for an oil hair wrap, but you can also use it as an oil for the ends of your hair.
- Coconut oil for hair is a popular nourishing hair oil which hydrates deeply, prevents hair breakage, and protects from protein loss.
- Avocado oil for hair is great for damaged hair. It contains vitamin A, D and E – these moisturise and nourish hair from the roots. It is often contained in shampoos and other hair products.
- Jasmine oil for hair has a beautiful fragrance, and makes hair softer and shiny.
Oil for greasy hair
Even greasy hair needs special care and you definitely shouldn’t be afraid of oils. However strange it sounds, a high quality bio hair oil restores the balance of your scalp, making hair less greasy. Grape and jojoba oil, for example, are great for your hair.
- Jojoba oil for hair is something akin to a miracle for greasy hair. It mimics skin's natural sebum and moisturises the scalp - thus balancing sebum production. As a result, your hair will be less greasy and stay fresher longer. Jojoba oil also promotes hair growth and improves its condition. So it prevents breakage and split ends.
- Grape oil for hair strengthens hair and promotes its fast growth. Thanks to antioxidants, it contributes to hair hydration and strengthening, and it is light, so it does not weigh hair down.
Oil for split ends
Is your hair in a good overall condition but still suffers from split ends? This can be caused by the balayage highlighting technique. Keep the ends trimmed and use oil for dry ends regularly to prevent further splitting and breakage. Massage some argan oil into your wet hair after washing it, or try a castor, olive or almond oil for hair.
- Castor oil for hair is a very popular plant based hair growth oil which also strengthens and firms hair from the roots as well as moisturizing the scalp.
- Olive oil for hair is another option for a dry scalp, hydrating it, reducing dandruff and improving hair elasticity.
- Almond oil for hair is an excellent oil for hair ends – it nourishes, softens, reduces breakage and supports hair growth.
Oil for curly hair
Do you have curly hair? Your friends probably envy you the ringlets in your hair, but we all know that curls are no piece of cake. It is a lot more difficult to style curly hair – it gets tangled more, it can dry out, and just does not cooperate in the way we would like it to. Oils are a good choice for you too. Whether you opt for argan or macadamia oil, you can’t go wrong!
- Macadamia oil for hair is ideal for curly hair – it deeply hydrates, nourishes, and improves hair elasticity. It contributes to well defined and moisturized curls.
Oil for wavy hair
Hair which is neither straight nor curly – this is a seemingly disadvantageous position. But you can turn it into the perfect beach or princess look. This is what wavy hair is like. It also deserves pampering with oil. Jojoba or apricot hair oil is perfect.
- Apricot oil for hair moisturises and softens wavy locks without weighing them down. And it can promote wave definition.
Oil for promoting hair growth
You don’t necessarily have to be struggling with thinning hair to opt for these oils. Maybe you just want to boost its growth to have longer, thicker and healthier hair. Oils that work on the scalp and hair from the roots can help you do just that. Apply these oils directly to the roots or treat yourself to a hair treatment.
- Pumpkin oil for hair is an effective oil that promotes hair growth and is rich in vitamins and minerals.
- Lavender oil for hair – aromatic oil for the scalp that soothes, boosts hair growth and has antiseptic properties.
- Burdock oil for hair is another oil for the scalp that promotes hair growth as well as improves the overall scalp condition.
- Mint oil for hair stimulates the scalp, promotes hair growth, and has a pleasant cooling effect.
How to work with hair oils
- To hair ends
If you are just starting out with hair oils and are worried that your hair will be weighed down and greasy, you can use an oil on the dry ends of your hair first. The best idea is to warm a small amount of oil in the palms of your hands and apply it to your wet hair after washing it. This is because it absorbs liquids better, including oil. If you do, however, seriously distrust oils, you can try a dry oil for hair first.
- Oil treatment
If you aren’t afraid of it, get an oil treatment right away – massage the oil into your hair from the roots and leave to act for 30 minutes. Next, wash your hair with a gentle shampoo.
Hair oils provide a wide range of benefits from moisturizing to protecting and promoting hair growth. But because your hair is as unique as you are, it might take a while to find one that excites you. Do you already have a favourite hair oil that you’ve been using? If not, it’s high time to try one of them!
