If you have just returned from your holidays with your hair in an inexplicable condition or the seasonal hair loss has remained faithful to her appointment this year as well, then a natural oil may be the solution! We’ve put together the 5 most effective natural hair oils for you and found what makes them so valuable!

Coconut oil

Its fragrance is reminiscent of exotic beaches and girls with healthy shiny hair! You think this is a coincidence? Lately, coconut oil is not just a beauty secret in the tropics, but its effectiveness has been spread away!

Research has shown that coconut oil dramatically reduces the loss of protein in both damaged and healthy hair when used before or after bathing. This is due to its high relativity with the hair proteins and its low molecular weight which allows it to penetrate the inner shaft of the hair (1).

Rosemary oil

You will be pleasantly surprised when you learn about the miraculous properties that rosemary can have on hair! Its effectiveness in hair loss and especially in androgenetic alopecia (seen in both men and women) stands out.

Indeed, a study published in Skinmed Dermatology for the Clinician found that the use of both rosemary oil and the chemical minoxidil (2%) resulted in a significant increase in hair growth in people with androgenetic alopecia within 6 months (2) .

Argan oil

Argan oil is considered one of the first choices for hair, but also for the face and body, thanks to its properties. It is rich in fatty acids, especially oleic and linoleic acids, that provide it softening properties, helping us to obtain easily silky hair!

In addition, argan oil is rich in antioxidants such as Vitamin E. It protects the hair from external attacks and aging. The anti-inflammatory properties that characterize it can be useful in various dermatological problems of the scalp, such as seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis (3).

Laurel oil

The laurel has been widespread in the Mediterranean and Black Sea since ancient times, and was sacred and precious, while ancient Greeks believed it could protect them from various diseases.

Today, its oil is considered one of the best options for hair strengthening and hair loss. Laurel oil offers a boost to the scalp, tightens pores and reduces hair loss. In addition, it moisturizes the scalp, thereby reducing flakes and dandruff.

Olive oil

The good old recipe with the overnight  olive oil hair mask will always be timely and effective. An ingredient we all have in our homes, olive oil comes to remind us that it is an all-time solution in many cases, including our haircare! Leave it on your hair as much as you can, but even a few minutes before bathing will make the difference!

Nature once again provides solutions for healthy, vibrant hair. Choose the oil that suits you and see your hair refreshed!
