You can’t avoid knowing that there are several oils out there and your natural hair will certainly need some of them.
Oils can be intimidating and it’s the many options that cause this. But don’t worry, curly-haired queen, because today we’ll help you find the best oils for your wild curls.
First, understand that you can’t slap just any oil on your hair because it’s oil. Hair oils all have various functions and you should only use the hair oils that your curls need. Here’s a list to help you make your best choice.
- Raw organic coconut oil:
Raw and pure coconut oil is useful for all hair types. Its fatty acids help reduce breakage, soften dry strands and support length retention. It also helps protect hair from dryness and everyday stressors, including color-care routines. -
Organic Hemp Seed Oil:
This lightweight oil helps moisturize dry hair and reduce breakage. It locks in moisture on the hair and scalp while helping strands feel stronger and softer.
-
Avocado Oil:
Applying avocado oil to the ends helps with detangling, moisture and breakage reduction. It also helps soften dry flakes and leaves hair feeling conditioned.
-
Castor Oil:
Castor oil is a rich choice for dry hair and a flaky-feeling scalp. It helps lock in moisture and supports a comfortable, nourished scalp environment.
-
Rosemary Essential Oil:
This aromatic oil helps refresh the scalp and pairs well with a healthy-growth routine. It must be diluted with a carrier oil, preferably raw coconut oil. Don’t forget that part, queen.
-
Tea Tree Essential Oil: Tea tree essential oil helps refresh the scalp and lift away buildup, creating a clean foundation for a healthy hair-growth routine. It’s a must-have in our opinion.
You’ll find some hair oil products mixing more than one oil or ingredient for better results. For a ready-to-use blend, our Hair Growth Oil for natural hair and scalp care combines safflower, coconut, avocado, castor and hemp seed oils with herbs and essential oils. Massage a few drops into your scalp, or smooth a small amount over your ends to help reduce breakage and support length retention.
