The ability of natural oils to transform and restore hair has been known since ancient times. If you want to grow strong and healthy hair, then take care of it with vegetable oils. We tell you how to make the right choice for yourself.
How to choose hair oil
In the hair care system, almost every cosmetic brand has acquired hair oil. Of course, many people ask the question: what is the main advantage of such a hair product and how to choose it for yourself? To achieve the desired effect from hair oil, you need to choose the right one that is suitable for you. When choosing, it is important to consider the structure and type of hair, as well as the hair problem you have.
Hair growth oil is an effective natural stimulant that strengthens hair follicles and activates hair growth. It also penetrates the cuticle and forms a smooth barrier that directly protects the hair and retains moisture. Such oils have more medicinal and caring properties. They contain beauty vitamins, fatty acids, amino acids, polyphenols, phenols, proteins. Oils for hair growth are obtained through the processing of fruits and seeds of plants, as well as nuts.
Before buying oils, study the composition of the bottles carefully - they should contain only natural substances without the addition of synthetic products. The ideal packaging for such a product is a glass darkened bottle. It is this packaging material that is able to preserve the beneficial properties of the oil for a long time from the penetration of unwanted sunlight.
This oil should be applied as a mask on the scalp - rubbing in. The main thing is not to overdo it with its amount; otherwise it will be difficult to wash off. Also, before applying, the oil can be slightly heated in a water bath, because acquiring warmer temperature, it penetrates the hair structure faster and easier. The product requires exposure time - you will find its effect most effective if the oil is left on the head for an hour. We recommend wearing a shower cap and wrapping a towel around your head.
Hair growth oils have a rich yet lightweight texture. Many manufacturers recommend rinsing oils with water. However, some complexes still sin in making the hair heavier, so when washing off the oil, use your usual shampoo no more than two times. Otherwise, all the healing work of oils will be in vain.
Each essential oil has its own tremendous benefit in hair care. The most common and effective oils for hair growth are the following:
Burdock oil - is made from castor bean (jathropa) seeds and is considered one of the best hair growth activators. It contains a large amount of vitamins, fatty acids, proteins, mineral salts. The oil increases blood circulation in the scalp, improves metabolism, nourishes the hair roots and enhances their growth.
Castor oil - stimulates hair growth and increases its volume, strengthens the roots. It contains vitamin E, minerals, proteins and antioxidants. It has antifungal properties, which means it additionally protects against dandruff.
Sea buckthorn oil - contains a record amount of vitamins A, C and E, acids, microelements and minerals. Due to the saturation of useful substances, sea buckthorn oil prevents various hair problems - fragility and split ends, loss, slow growth, dandruff.
Rosemary oil - not only accelerates hair growth, but also strengthens it. It contains vitamin B, iron and calcium. In addition, rosemary oil has antimicrobial effect and has a tonic effect on the activity of the sebaceous glands. It is suitable for all hair types, as well as for people who have a problem of seborrheic dermatitis and dandruff.
Black cumin oil - so beloved in the east, contains more than a hundred useful components: vitamins, tannins, polyunsaturated fatty acids, beta-carotene, enzymes, etc. Thanks to which, the problem of brittleness and hair loss disappears. It has an antiseptic effect on the scalp, due to this, the hair follicles are cleansed and healed.
Mustard oil - has high content of fatty acids, vitamins, microelements, which in turn are able to heal wounds. Due to its bactericidal and wound healing effect, it is often used to treat problem scalp and to heal curls.
Flaxseed oil is rich in alpha-linoleic acid, minerals, vitamins, so it is best suited for dry hair. In terms of Omega-3 content, the product is superior to all other oils. By its action, the oil has a beneficial effect on the condition of the scalp and hair - the work of the sebaceous glands is normalized, the hair follicles are strengthened, the hair acquires healthy gloss.
If used too often, the oils can cause negative reactions - for example, scalp irritation. The experts recommend using oils on the skin very rarely, because burdock and castor oil have comedogenic effect: they increase the viscosity of the oil that accumulates in the follicle orifices and form sebaceous horny plugs. The result will be the occurrence of inflammatory diseases.
It should be remembered that the use of masks made from oils can be a good additional measure in hair care and for the prevention of hair diseases, but also insufficient in the fight against persistent hair loss and thinning. Many forms of hair loss and thinning have a genetic predisposition, an autoimmune nature, can be caused by common pathology, and in this case it is impossible to do without the qualified help of a specialist.
