Vegetable Oils For Hair Hydration

Many factors can affect the hair structure, such as climate, hair dryers, dyes, styling products, stress and poor diet. This is why it is good to use vegetable oils to moisturize your hair.

In this article, we will present you some natural and cheap vegetable oils that can help you moisturize your hair. Each has its specific benefits. This will also prevent you from using artificial products.

These oils are great for people who have dry or damaged hair. They are also useful if you want to nourish your hair at the end of the warm season or only occasionally. People with oily hair should avoid them. People with dry and split ends can also use them as long as they avoid applying to the scalp.

Vegetable oils for moisturizing hair

Sesame oil

Sesame oil helps reduce the risk of baldness and dandruff. It is very oily, which is why you should massage your entire hair and scalp only in case of intense dehydration. This oil is very antioxidant, rich in vitamins and minerals and has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties.

Linseed oil

Omega-3 in flaxseed oil helps in deep hair care and hydration. Therefore, in addition to consuming it, you can also apply it locally. Flaxseed oil also contains vitamin E, mucilage, protein and iodine, among other components.

It does not have a very oily texture, which is why you can apply it on any type of hair. We especially recommend it for damaged and split ends.

Almond oil

Almond oil is cheap and famous. It is ideal for very dry and broken hair. It can help to even out the color and eliminate the volume in the case of rebellious hair.

This oil is not as well known as the previous one. However, it has very strong properties that help you keep your hair healthy. It is traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine with great success. Nowadays, you can find it in many health food stores.

Neem oil contains vegetable sterols and essential fatty oils such as omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9, as well as azadirachtin, a particularly beneficial limonoid as a germicide. Neem oil can help treat dryness, itching, dandruff, psoriasis, hair loss and lice, among other conditions.

Extra virgin coconut oil is used by many women to keep their hair healthy and beautiful. You can apply it on your hair and scalp before washing, massaging it well so that it penetrates deeply.

It can help in case of dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis or generalized itching, because it has antibacterial properties. If you have very greasy hair, you can follow the same procedure, but use only coconut milk.

How to use vegetable oils to moisturize hair

Apply the desired oil from the middle of the hairs to the tips or from the scalp down if the hair is very dry. After that, wash your head normally.

People with split ends can use a few drops of oil after shampooing. If you have very dry and dull hair, we recommend putting two or three drops of vegetable oil in your palms. Rub the oil in your palms. Then massage it into your hair.

An option for people with oily hair is to mix vegetable oil with natural aloe vera gel in equal parts, so that the mask obtained is not as greasy, but to help moisturize and nourish the hair.

You can also add oils to hair masks, shampoos or natural dyes, such as henna-based assortments.
