Hair Oil

It sounds so old fashioned doesn’t it?  What are we greasers?  Maybe those boys knew something we don’t.

The fact is that hair oil is wonderful for maintaining both the health of your hair and your scalp.  In fact, without a healthy scalp you can kiss healthy hair goodbye.

Here’s the catch, you need to find the right oil for your particular issue and hair type.  These  are a few of my favorites.

Huile D’Ales is a water soluble oil. This is important as you can have your colorist add it to your hair coloring or bleach as it won’t interfere with chemical processes.  It provides protection from the chemicals and supposedly gives you a bit of a treatment at the same time.   I went from Wonder Woman black hair to Marilyn Monroe blonde, and am sure Huile D’ Ales is the only reason I’m not currently bald.

It’s also a great hydrating oil treatment for all hair types. Simply apply it to dry hair and leave it in for as long as you like, as often as you want, then shampoo and condition your hair as you normally would.  The product is light weight, so it won’t weigh down even the finest of hair.

Love, love, love this product.  The fragrance alone is enough reason to fall in love with MORROCANOIL.  I use the smallest amount, about the size of a dime, on the lengths and ends of my hair after I’ve shampooed and conditioned.  The result is beautiful smelling, well conditioned, shiny hair.  Even after a blow dry I use an even tinier amount to further smooth the hair.

If you have very fine hair, you can still use the product, just take baby steps.  Try a drop on damp hair and see where that gets you.

Yes, I’m back to Phyto.  Phytopolleine is an amazing product that I have seen work it’s magic.  It can be used as part of a thinning hair regimen or as a scalp normalizer.  Basically, it stimulates your scalp increasing circulation.  Increased circulation = fertile ground for hair growth.  Phytopolleine also helps regulate sebum.  So, if your scalp is either too oily or too dry, Phytopolleine will help.

I would be remiss not to mention Weleda Rosemary Hair Oil.  Weleda has been at the forefront of the organic, plant based product movement since before most new companies owners were even born.   I have tremendous respect for  Weleda, and have used an array of their products, all to my satisfaction.  Alas, I’ve not used this one.

Rosemary acts as a stimulant, which increases circulation.  We’ve already discussed the importance of that.  In addition, rosemary is both an antibacterial and antiviral agent.  Rosemary Hair Oil also contains Burdock which is known to help the body maintain skin health.

Unfortunately, I can not recommend this product as I haven’t used it, but it sounds pretty good to me.
