Best hair oils to transform your hair

Frizzy, fine, thick or unruly, whatever your hair type there’s an oil for you. Yes, even for oily hair that falls flat! Forget everything you thought you knew about hair oils as we introduce you to two sensations: Argan and Coconut Oils. While one is as old as ancient Indian wisdom, the other enjoys cult status in North Africa. 

Delve deeper, and you can’t help but draw a comparison. Supercharged with fatty acids and antioxidating properties (coconut oil contains 92 per cent of saturated fat and 62 per cent of medium-chain fatty acids, while argan oil is packed with 80 per cent unsaturated fats), these one-for-all elixirs have the cure for a multitude of concerns. They both fight signs of ageing, hydrate, nourish, protect, control sebum production, boost cell regeneration, exfoliate dead skin, fight free radicals, stimulate follicle growth… we can go on.

Although, if you really dig deeper – you’ll begin to spot somewhat of a difference. Like coconut oil is denser in texture, seeps and absorbs deeper into the skin and has a longer shelf life (two years. Argan oil, on the other hand, is packed with vitamin E making it a stronger antioxidating agent, doesn’t take an army of hair cleanses to come off and treats the surface of your skin and scalp thoroughly.

We rounded up ten elixirs for a gorgeous mane and broke down what they’re said to be most beneficial in – along with a few skincare aids.
