How to use these vegetable oils?
Above all, a vegetable oil for treatment or finishing should be used in small quantities. Indeed, being very rich in active ingredients, it penetrates very quickly into the hair fiber. In excess, vegetable oil tends to grease and unnecessarily weigh down the hair.
In addition, it is better to choose an “organic” cold-pressed vegetable oil because it does not contain pesticides and therefore retains all its benefits.
As a treatment or oil bath
Applying vegetable oil in the form of treatment or an oil bath is an excellent method to deeply care for your hair.
It is advisable to apply a few drops of oil from the ends to the roots just before shampooing. During application, do not hesitate to do a head massage to cleanse and activate the microcirculation of the scalp, thus promoting faster hair growth.
The ideal is to leave it on for several hours, or even overnight, by wrapping the hair in a heated towel. In fact, the heat helps open the scales and allows the oil to penetrate deep into the hair to nourish it.
Be careful, however, during the shampoo stage, you must rinse the treatment well and remove all its residue so as not to weigh down and dull the hair.
The treatment should be repeated as often as the need arises.
In finishing or styling
Used for finishing or styling, vegetable oil is perfect for controlling frizz and smoothing and conditioning the hair fiber. It is recommended to apply a drop or two in the palm of the hand to heat and apply to the lengths. This small dose is more than enough to discipline the hair.
