Forget styling sprays and mousses, hair oils are having a moment. In fact, there’s nothing more inviting that a gleaming golden bottle of hair oil as the ultimate elixir for dry, damaged and lackluster locks, or even when your healthy strands need some TLC. Hair oils have come a long way; forget the greasy hard-to-wash-out smelly potions that grandma loved applying on your hair. Today hair oils are so versatile; use them to pre-cleanse, as a leave-in conditioner on towel dried hair, before blow-drying to heat protect strands and avoid frizz or simply to tame flyways. The one ingredient that’s making the most buzz today is Argan Oil, also known as Moroccan Oil that promises to tame even the coarsest, frizziest strands. Other next-gen oils making waves include Vitamin E and Essential fatty Acid rich Sweet Almond, Olive, Coconut, Macadamia, Jojoba and Tea Tree Oils.
For best results use sparingly, especially if you’re not planning to shampoo afterwards. It’s always best to keep oil away from the scalp where natural oils lubricate strands. Instead focus on mid shafts to tips, and start with less to see how your strands behave. Now go on, treat your tresses to some liquid gold.
