Best Oils For Hair

Coconut oil

Coconut oil is naturally anti-bacterial and anti-fungal and helps soothe the scalp. Studies show virgin coconut oil is anti-inflammatory, thus the ideal oil to counter-effect hair loss as inflammation is the physiological reason behind hair fall. It also acts as a great moisturiser and boosts shine and lustre.

Almond oil

This light, non-sticky oil is packed with the goodness of vitamin E that nourishes hair, keeps it moisturised, and makes hair strong and lustrous. Almond oil also nourishes the scalp and helps reduce dandruff.

 

Olive oil

This oil is amazing for topical application and non-heated consumption. It is packed with essential fatty acids that revitalise the scalp, nourish hair roots, and promote growth of hair. A highly moisturising hair oil, olive oil is rich in vitamin E, an important nutrient for hair growth. The oleic acid present in this oil easily penetrates the hair shaft and locks in moisture.

Castor oil

Castor oil works wonders for hair and is a popular cosmetic oil. Individuals facing hair loss have excess of the hormone prostaglandin or PGD2 in their bodies; research shows that this hormone can be inhibited by a substance found in castor oil, thereby increasing hair growth and slowing down hair loss.
