Almond Oil
If you’ve never used almond oil in your hair, prepare for a super nourishing and moisturizing experience. This softening oil can calm frizz, sooth an irritated scalp, and increase shine. It can also help loosen dandruff and has antibacterial properties, as well.
Avocado Oil
Avocado oil isn’t just good for your body and delish on salads, it’s excellent on your scalp and hair. This oil is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids and is excellent for strengthening your strands, moisturizing dry ends, and protecting your hair from harmful pollutants and UV rays.
Castor Oil
It’s no coincidence that castor oil is present in many brow and lash serums. It’s also a wonderful oil to use on your hair and scalp because it increases blood flow to the scalp, which can spur new hair growth. This oil strengthens hair, thanks to its rininoleic acid, and provides hydrates to combat frizz.
Coconut Oil
Few oils are as great at detangling hair, making split ends look better (they’ll still need to be trimmed, we’re afraid), and protecting hair from elements like heat and pollutants quite like coconut oil. It has anti-fungal properties to prevent and treat dandruff and contains a wealth of vitamins and fatty acids.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil stimulates circulation on your scalp to boost hair growth, can balances your scalp’s oils for less dandruff and irritation, and is a natural emollient that adds a ton of moisture and shine to your strands. It can even help unclog pores on your scalp to prevent hair shedding and loss.
Olive Oil
Which oil can you cook with, add to salads, meats, and veggies, use on your face AND on your scalp and hair? Olive oil, of course. This oil can reduce frizz, strengthen hair, hydrate like few other oils can, and it’s rich in omega-3 fatty acids to promote hair growth. If it proves too thick, apply it as a mask and then wash it out.
Rosemary Oil
Last, but not least, we come to rosemary oil. This oil has both anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and has been said to help with dandruff, hair growth (it stimulates hair follicles and improves scalp circulation), and even premature graying hair. This one does have a stronger scent than some of the other oils — but using it as a wash-out mask is the perfect way to incorporate rosemary oil into your routine.
