The benefits of natural oils for hair
Castor oil, which is denser, is a favorite among those suffering from hair loss or thinning hair. “It strengthens the roots, helps with breakage and makes hair more voluminous,” he explains. Argan oil is responsible for the luminous and soft effect. “Adds shine, controls frizz and brings dull or chemically treated locks back to life. »
For those with fine hair or those prone to oily hair, the expert recommends jojoba oil. “It’s lightweight and very similar to the natural oil in your scalp, so it moisturizes without weighing it down.” The famous coconut oil remains classic for a reason: “It really penetrates the hair, reducing breakage and improving texture, rescuing dry or damaged hair. »
Another powerful option is avocado oil. “It’s super nutritious, full of vitamins and great for restoring body, shine and softness to rough, lifeless hair,” he says.
