The best vegetable oils for hair
Vegetable oils are the best beauty and health allies for taking care of your hair . Indeed, whatever the nature of your hair and your hair needs, they allow you to nourish, repair, moisturize and make the hair fiber shine naturally.
On a daily basis, the hair fiber is subjected to various aggressions such as brushing, the use of heating appliances, coloring, stress, pollution, the sun or even friction from clothing. Weakened, hair tends to become dry, dull, or even brittle .
While a healthy lifestyle and a balanced diet are essential for caring for your hair from the inside out, it is advisable to give it a boost from the outside by using excellent natural products such as vegetable oils.
Here are the best vegetable oils to get for taking care of your hair:
Coconut oil
Coconut oil is ideal for dry and brittle hair. Thanks to its high content of saturated fatty acids, iron, vitamin E, and vitamin K, it helps strengthen and deeply nourish hair.
Coconut oil also forms a protective barrier against external attacks and helps keep hair supple.
Castor oil
Castor oil is a true ally for maintaining healthy hair. It is known to keep the scalp in optimal condition, thus promoting the natural growth of healthy hair.
Thanks to its high content of omega 6 and 9 fatty acids, castor vegetable oil also helps to strengthen and give volume to the hair.
Avocado oil
Avocado oil (link to the article The Benefits of Avocado Oil) is known for deeply nourishing and moisturizing hair. It helps strengthen and restructure the hair fiber by promoting collagen production. Its antioxidants also help reduce oxidative stress and free radicals responsible for the breakdown of hair follicles.
Additionally, avocado oil contains fatty acids that help strengthen the roots and contribute to the balance and fortification of the scalp, thus facilitating the growth of healthy hair.
Argan oil
Argan oil is highly effective at adding strength, volume, and softness to hair. It nourishes and regenerates the hair fiber.
Argan oil also protects hair from the sun's harmful rays, limits the appearance of split ends and prevents hair loss.
Sweet almond oil
Sweet almond oil is excellent for nourishing and protecting the hair fiber thanks to its richness in omega 6 and 9. This oil is suitable for people who suffer from dry hair or an irritated scalp (presence of scales or dandruff, etc.).
Sweet almond oil also contains phospholipids, magnesium and vitamin E which help strengthen and soften hair . This makes it softer to the touch.
Jojoba oil
Thanks to its softening and revitalizing properties, jojoba oil is perfect for maintaining and caring for dry and damaged hair . Rich in vitamin E and fatty acids, it helps tighten the hair cuticles and strengthen the hair fiber.
Jojoba oil is also very useful for oily hair, regulating the overproduction of sebum in the scalp.
The Atypique Provence brand offers a 100% natural, Made in France solid shampoo based on organic coconut vegetable oil, organic calendula macerate, organic marshmallow powder and organic bitter orange petitgrain essential oil to gently cleanse all hair types.
How to use these vegetable oils?
First and foremost, 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 make the hair greasy and unnecessarily weigh it down.
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 as a treatment or oil bath is an excellent method for deep conditioning your hair.
It is recommended to apply a few drops of oil from the tips to the roots just before shampooing. During application, do not hesitate to perform a scalp massage to cleanse and activate microcirculation of the scalp, thus promoting faster hair growth.
Ideally, leave it on for several hours, or even overnight, by wrapping your hair in a heated towel. The heat helps open the cuticles and allows the oil to penetrate deep into the hair to nourish it.
Be careful, however, during the shampooing stage, you must rinse the treatment well and eliminate all its residue so as not to weigh down and dull the hair.
The treatment should be repeated as often as needed.
As a finishing or styling
Used as a finishing or styling product, 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 your hand, warm it up, and apply it to the lengths. This small amount is more than enough to tame your hair.
