1. Argan Oil

Argan Oil This Moroccan oil is one of the trendiest oils for damaged hair and in the entire beauty industry, but before you head off and buy products with argan oil, I suggest purchasing the oil itself. Argan oil is rich in B vitamins, Vitamin E, and essential fats that help coat the hair to protect it and repair damage.

2. Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil Everyone’s favorite superfood oil is also amazing for your hair. Coconut oil is rich in fats that not only help repair damaged hair, but also reduce dandruff, prevent breakage, and cleanse the hair shaft from product build-up.

3. Olive Oil

Olive Oil Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fats that are very healing to the body, face, hair, and nails. It is also rich in Vitamin E, which helps to enhance shine, and it reduces your hair from being prone to breakage as easily.

4. Safflower Oil

Safflower Oil This high temperature cooking oil is very high in fats that help to strengthen the hair shaft, enhance shine, and reduce damage. Plus, you can always cook with it in a pinch since it has a higher cooking point than olive or flax oil.

Embrace your individuality and transform your look by trying out a unique shade. Did you know that green hair is associated with nature, creativity, and growth? So go ahead, experiment with this bold hair color to represent a new phase in your life, waiting to blossom like a fresh spring leaf.

5. Avocado Oil

Avocado Oil Avocado oil is incredibly healing wherever you choose to use it. Many people like to cook with it, but I like to use it as a beauty aid. Avocado oil is rich in monounsaturated fats and Vitamin E. It also has a pleasant smell and is used in many hair treatments in the beauty industry.

6. Flax Oil

Flax Oil You can take flax oil internally, but it’s actually a wonderful beauty oil to apply topically. Flax oil can be used as a hair mask, facial cleanser, anti-wrinkle aid, and even as a cuticle treatment. The omega 3 fats in flax oil help to repair damage, improve hair strength, and enhance overall shine.

7. Hemp Oil

Hemp Oil This oil is my favorite type of oil to use as a body oil and as a hair mask. It has a very pleasant, earthy smell and it’s very fast-acting. It will help reduce breakage and enhance hair growth, along with resist damage later on. I like Manitoba Harvest and Nutiva brands the best.

All you need to do to receive the benefits from these oils is apply them to dry hair three times a week and let them sit for at least one hour. Pin your hair up and go cook something tasty or give yourself a manicure while you wait! Then wash and condition as normal and go on about your merry way! You can find all of these oils online and in stores wherever natural oils are sold. Do you use any of these oils for damaged hair?

coconut and olive ...

coconut oil is the only oil that will get penetrate your hair strands and create moisture from within,the others just smooth and create shine

Good tips for hair treatment. Thank you! I'll try these things.

Really good tips

i used olive oil.

I have long, thick hair. I mix 2 tablespoons of sweet almond oil with 4 drops of lavender oil and leave the bowl in another bowl of hot water for 10 mins. to warm up. Feels lovely massaging it into my scalp, I leave it on for 30 mins. and rinse twice. Luscious, shiny results, plenty of compliments! I have replaced my hair conditioner with this method

if you use a colored oil on your blonde dried out hair, it can pick up the color of the oil. if you are blonde it's best to use a clear oil.

awesome tip

I combine castor oil, coconut oil and the liquid in vitamin e capsules (the green one)
