WHY I CHOOSE THESE OILS?

Read the benefits below to know why I chose these oils.

COCONUT OIL

Coconut stimulates hair growth. It penetrates deep into the hair follicle. Coconut oil maintains scalp health. It prevents hair breakage and split ends. This oil adds shine and softness to hair.

Coconut oil conditions your hair and also prevents dandruff. It nourishes and tones dry hair. It maintains protein and moisture balance.

OLIVE OIL

It is the best choice if you have dry and damaged hair. Olive oil makes your hair manageable. It makes your hair less prone to dandruff and split ends. It reduces hair breakage to great extent. Rich in vitamins A, E, and antioxidants, olive oil helps protect the keratin in hair and seals in moisture.

If you deal with brittle ends or frizzy curls that feel more like steel wool than they do soft locks, olive oil can help soften your hair, making it more pliable.

Olive oil has been desired for its natural hair softening benefits, rather than having to use chemically-laden ingredients that are added to cheap hair conditioners. Many people who use olive oil on their hair will notice that it not only becomes softer and more manageable but that their hair grows in much thicker and denser.

SWEET ALMOND OIL

Saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids form 71% of the fatty acids found in sweet almond oil so it does have a good ability to penetrate the hair shaft and moisturize hair from the inside.

Sweet almond oil makes your hair soft and silky. It nourishes your dry and damaged hair. It strengthens your hair and also reduces hair loss to a great extent. This oil improves blood circulation to the scalp.

CASTOR OIL

This oil doesn’t need any introduction. Castor oil stimulates hair growth to great extent. Castor oil is suitable for moisturizing hair, promoting hair growth, and preventing hair loss. It carries ricinoleic acid and omega- 6 essential fatty acids, which accelerate blood circulation to the scalp, hence increasing hair growth.

Since castor oil possesses anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and antiviral properties, it is the perfect remedy to tackle scalp infections and issues such as bald patches, itchy scalp.

SESAME OIL

sesame oil can prevent premature graying, retaining the natural color of your hair for longer. sesame oil has hair darkening properties. Regular use of this oil will help darken your hair while keeping it healthy.

Sesame oil improves the circulation of blood in the scalp, and it thereby promotes hair growth. It is also highly penetrative which helps heal chemical damage, and supplies nourishment to your hair shafts and follicles.

Sesame oil has soothing and tranquilizing properties. Harsh heat can be damaging to the hair follicles. Sesame oil acts as a coolant, working from within and nourishing the scalp from inside and out. Sesame oil locks the moisture within, thus preventing further damage.

ARGAN OIL

Argan oil is proven to make hair softer, silkier and shinier. It is the ideal hair conditioner, and it can even help to treat split ends and tame frizzy hair. This oil is also great for making your hair feel softer. Argan oil has scientifically proven to be a good product for hair re-growth and cell regeneration.

BLACK SEED OIL

Black seed oil is rich in antioxidants and fatty acids which can help to cleanse and strengthen the hair and scalp. This oil is great when diluted with a carrier oil to soothe scalp conditions that cause inflammation, flakiness, and sensitivity. One of the unique black seed oil benefits is its uncanny ability to help restore hair loss.

GRAPESEED OIL

Grapeseed oil stimulates hair growth thus makes your hair grow faster. It reduces hair loss. This oil can easily get absorbed into your scalp and strengthen your hair from the roots while preventing other common hair troubles. Dandruff and other dermatological problems caused by the flaky or dry scalp issue can be treated easily by the grapeseed oil. This natural remedy can nurture the skin cells growth with its generous properties of nutrients and emollients.
