Why Should I Use Oils On My Hair?

Why use oil on your hair
 

What are the benefits of using oil on your hair?

Many edible oils are known to reduce hair damage from multiple sources. Examples of effective, proven hair oils are coconut oil and argan oil

Positive effects of using hair oils include reducing the impact of:

  1. Chemical dyeing

  2. Heat treatments, i.e. using heated straighteners or curlers

  3. Abrasive effects from day-to-day brushing

  4. Swelling and associated damage when washing and drying

We at HairKnowHow have used both the coconut and argan oils ourselves for over a year, and they work very well, either on their own (by applying a couple of drops into a spray bottle with some water and then evenly spraying onto your hair) or when adding them to your favourite conditioner. Let us know how you get on.
