Merinsky recommended using a blob the size of a quarter and rubbing it between your palms before distributing it evenly through your strands. We asked Merinsky, Eliot and Sturdivant-Drew to share some of their favorite hair oils. Check them out below:.

Oils like castor oil and olive oil that are rich in Vitamin E and fatty acids are able to create a physical barrier around the hair cells, preventing moisture loss which can leave strands looking dull and dry.
The scalp has a natural pH level that is regulated by the body's natural production of oil. Incorporating oils into your skin-care routine is commonplace these days, but did you know that oils can play a pivotal role in your hair-care regimen, too? And, contrary to popular belief, there's an oil out there for every hair type and texture — yes, even if you have oily hair to begin with. Ahead, experts explain exactly what a hair oil can do, plus how to determine which one is best for you.
Whatever your mane concern is LOL, get it? The same principles apply to hair oils as they do for skin oils: Natural oils are loaded with different types of vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids, all of which are important for both a healthy scalp and healthy hair, says stylist Steven Picciano , a Goldwell National Artist. As long as you pick the best one for your hair type and texture and use it in the right way, hair oils can be beneficial for everyone, he adds.
More on specific oils and their uses shortly. On top of boosting the health and strength of your strands, a hair oil can offer styling benefits, as well. If you start to feel like your tresses could use some extra shine during winter or if you're wanting to tame frizz in summer months, a hair oil could be your new must-have styling product. In a word, yes. The key? Unlike when you're simply using oil to impart moisture or shine, these hair growth oils need to be applied directly onto the scalp in order to reap these benefits; in this case, they're actually working more on the skin than the hair.
There's no universal answer here since it largely depends on the oil you're using, its intended purpose, and, again, the texture of your hair. Generally speaking, however, if you're using hair oil for styling purposes, you can use a few drops — from mid-length to ends — daily, either before or after blow-drying, says Picciano. To use one as a treatment, apply it throughout the hair and leave it on for 25 to 30 minutes before rinsing out.
Does the thought of slathering on a hair oil give you the ick? As a Black woman with thick Afro hair, oils have always been a part of my beauty routine. However, my friends with finer Asian and European hair, have long been wary about whether the benefits outweigh the cons. Here's a rundown of everything you need to know. This oil has been working its way into countless hair care products over the years because of its stellar moisturising benefits.
Whilst so many other oils work on moisturising the outer layers of your strands, jojoba is made up of clever fats that can actually penetrate the outer layer of hair, this means it can nourish and repair beneath the surface — pretty cool, right?
Smooth this through your hair after blow-drying or straightening, for that just-stepped-out-of-the-salon shine. Naturally curly hair will lap up this oil. Massage into the lengths to revive parched ends. Now, the texture and colour of this oil in its purest form is… interesting the pale-yellow liquid has a distinct taste and odour. It also stimulates the follicles, which can help with hair growth, so if you fancy giving yourself a DIY head massage, this is the oil to pick.
