Is Oil Actually Good for Your Hair?

Let’s talk about HAIR OIL ❗️The same way we choose shampoo or a hair treatment, it’s essential to remember everyone’s scalp and hair are different. So hair oil is definitely NOT 🙌 a one-size-fits-all product.

Here’s WHY ❓

1. 🥑 NOT ALL HAIR OILS ARE CREATED EQUAL👉

Hair oils can be as deeply repairing as a deep treatment or can be great for touchups or as a styler 💁🏼‍♀️It all depends on the ingredients. Here’s 10secs long chemistry lesson 👩🏻‍🔬According to the fatty acid composition the oils are: saturated (include 12 acids), mono-unsaturated (5 acids) and poly-unsaturated (6 acids). Sooo… some of the ingredients in these oils might try to replace 👋 the hair cuticular lipids (it is an oily consistency that envelops every cuticle flake on your hair). Long story short, we always aim to protect a natural barrier 🙏 when it comes to our skin and hair.

2. 🥑 FINDING THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOUR HAIR TYPE 👉

Know your hair’s needs and types of oils that work best. Thick brown & dark hair might benefit from rich oils, while bleached blond & thin hair have to be treated with lighter oils. Coconut oil 🥥 works well repairing brittle hair and split ends. Argan oil 🌿 protects hair against damage from UV rays/ heat. Jojoba oil 🌿 is ideal for damaged hair and those with dandruff. Grapeseed oil 🍇is helpful in fighting dandruff and blocks the production of DHT, a hormone that causes hair loss.

3. 🥑 INTELLIGENTLY SELECT YOUR HAIR PRODUCTS

People often use hair oils to moisten their hair, but I say that when hair needs moisture, it is thirsty and needs a drink 💦 So as much as we all love a good hair oil, remember it’s not a substitute of a conditioner or a treatment mask.
