Which oils are used most often?
In a world full of all kinds of oils that are good for your hair, it’s naturally hard to make the best choice. That’s why we’ve put together a selection of our customers’ favorite oils for you.
To clarify:
Many hair experts consider coconut oil to be one of the best oils for hair. There are also many scientific studies that support this claim. Why is coconut oil so good for hair?
Advantages:
- Hair Swelling: Coconut oil helps reduce hair swelling when it’s wet. When hair gets wet, it swells, putting pressure on the hair cuticles. Oil is hydrophobic (it mixes very poorly with water). In practice, this means that less water penetrates the hair if you apply coconut oil before washing it. This reduces external pressure on the hair cuticles, preventing them from being pushed up as much and thus reducing the likelihood of breakage.
- Penetrates deeper: Coconut oil is a triglyceride of lauric acid. Lauric acid is a fatty acid that also occurs naturally in our own skin oils. This is also why coconut oil works so well with hair proteins. Coconut oil also penetrates the hair shaft more easily due to its low molecular weight.
- Protects against the sun: Coconut oil has an SPF of 7.1, offering protection against the sun’s harmful UV rays. Coconut oil protects hair from the sun better than, for example, almond oil, sesame oil, and castor oil. Only olive oil surpasses coconut oil, with an SPF of 7.5. Thanks to its moisturizing properties, this oil also prevents your hair from drying out in the sun.
Argan oil:
These days, argan oil has become an indispensable part of any hair care routine. Why is this type of oil so popular, especially for damaged hair?
Advantages:
- Vitamin E: Argan oil is exceptionally rich in vitamin E. This amazing vitamin forms a protective layer around your hair, shielding your strands from external factors. Argan oil also protects your hair from the heat of styling tools such as flat irons and hair dryers. It’s like killing two birds with one stone, so your hair doesn’t get damaged anymore.
- Omega Fats: Argan oil contains omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids. These fatty acids deeply nourish your hair roots and provide them with the necessary nutrients to prevent and repair split ends. Last but not least, these magical fats also give your hair a beautiful shine. Say goodbye to frizzy hair!
- Antioxidants: Argan oil contains antioxidants, and we all know that antioxidants help prevent aging. Hair also benefits from antioxidants. They help restore the hair’s strength, softness, and suppleness. And just like vitamin E, the antioxidants in argan oil also protect against external factors.
Macadamia oil
Macadamia oil has also become an indispensable part of any routine for damaged hair. Macadamia oil has restorative properties for the hair. This oil is exceptionally rich in vitamins and minerals such as manganese, copper, iron, magnesium, and zinc. A combination of ingredients that’s guaranteed to transform your hair.
Advantages:
- Frizz-free and soft hair: With this oil, you can go about your day without frizzy hair. Your hair will also feel soft after using macadamia oil.
- Lightweight: A major advantage of this oil is that it feels very lightweight in the hair. You only need to use 2 or 3 drops to achieve the desired result. Never use too much, or your hair may become too greasy.
- Antioxidants: The antioxidants in macadamia oil strengthen and nourish the hair.
- Mimics your scalp's natural oil production.
Rosehip oil:
Rosehip oil is extracted from the seeds of the rosehip fruit (Rosa Canina). Rosehip oil is rich in concentrated retinoic acid, a substance that plays a role in repairing the skin and hair. We’ve all heard something about the oils mentioned above. Rosehip oil, on the other hand, is somewhat less well known. Nevertheless, this oil is also incredibly beneficial for your hair.
