Hair oil is now the new hair serum. While it adds a glossy, swishy shine, a hair oil also adds protection and nourishment. The oil penetrates the hair to treat and condition at the same time. So what kind of hair oils should you use? I like to mix a variety of hair oils to create my perfect combination! If you have rough/coarse hair, perhaps a heavier mix would suit you. If your hair is smooth and you'd like a light hair oil, you should mix a larger quantity of the light hair oil. Here are the some suggestions:
Castor Oil (great skin softeners as well!), almond oil, and jojoba oil. For a thicker mix: 2 teaspoons of castor oil, and one teaspoon each of the other oils. Apply on scalp, massage, wrap a warm towel around your head or sit in a steam sauna, and wash off!
This particular oil below deserves special attention: Kerala Ayurvedic Hair Oil from Arya Vaidhaya Sala Ashram
The ayurvedic properties in this oil make it unique- it helps stop hair loss! Not only does it give the hair the nourishment it needs, but it reduces hair fall in 4-6 weeks- and the best part is there are no side effects!
I combine all hair oils in a small bowl and apply directly on scalp and hair. I prefer to make a heavy hair oil combination, but you may use extra almond and jojoba oil to thin out your combination. Coconut oil (keeps the frizz down) and olive oil (improves the strength and elasticity of hair) are used separately on my crazy hair days!
