The benefits of hair oil

Hair oils have taken the hair world by storm. With every hair manufacturer developing their own oil, salons all over the world stock a type of hair oil for in house and retail. 

A few drops of the right oil can detangle, treat dry and over processed locks, prevent split ends, speed up blow drying time, adding strength and shine.

Oils significantly smooth the hair cuticle reflecting light more easily, creating way more shine on the hair.

Traditionally the main ingredient contained in hair oils was Argan, but now other plant, berry and nut based sources such as macadamia, Manketti, Marula, Camellia, coconut and rose hip are used too.

Before we were blessed with oils in the salons, we would use serums on the hair, whilst serums are fantastic in their own right, they sit on the hair in a totally different way. Oils are considered very hair friendly, they tend to help temporarily rebuild the structure of the hair, completely minimising the frizz. 

My favourite hair oil is Mythic Oil by L’oreal (available at our salon), it's very reasonably priced and lasts forever. It's core ingredients are avocado oil and grape-seed oil. A few drops of this miracle oil and your hair will feel considerately less frizzy. I find this oil is suitable for all hair types. If your hair is on the finer side, I would suggest using slightly less and if your hair is on the thicker side use slightly more. 

One client of mine who suffers with oily roots, has said that she found using a couple of drops on her hair when wet and blow drying helped to rebalance the natural oil within her hair and that oily roots became less of a problem. 

How to use hair oil:

• Make sure the oil is distributed evenly, apply desired amount to palm of hands and then rub hands together.
• Section the hair in to two, and work palms of hand through each section, paying focus to the mid – lengths and ends of hair. 
• Comb through the hair, ensuring each strand gets a dose of that miracle oil !!!
• Avoid putting the oil too close to the scalp as we have natural producing oils that condition the scalp and roots of hair. 
• When applying to dry hair be sure to use a little less and only apply on the dry ends. 
• Hope you enjoy and your lovely locks benefit from hair oil.
