Olive oil (particularly Extra Virgin, or EVOO as Rachel Ray calls it) is so great because it can be used for so many different things. This certainly includes it being a great moisturizer, deep conditioner, and it also helps to eliminate dandruff. It’s really great for the moisturizing the scalp, making the hair stronger as well as promoting healthy hair growth. You have some good antioxidants in there too, which is why this is definitely on my list of super nourishing oils to use in your hair.
2. Rosemary Oil

I’m sure you’ve heard that blending avocado and leaving it in your hair is great for moisturizing, right? Well, if you haven’t, it might be even easier to switch to my suggestion: avocado oil! Avocado oil is wonderful because it has so many great nutrients like vitamins A, D and C, as well as protein and amino acids. Plus, there’s no messy cleanup after application!
4. Coconut Oil

If you don’t already have coconut oil in your repertoire, I suggest you go out and get it, like today! I use coconut oil everyday, as I have possibly the driest hair in the world. It is really good for hydration as well as preventing damage to the hair, and promoting thickness. It’s great for scalp massages. As an added bonus, you can use it to moisturize your whole body too. It’s a win-win!
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. Argan Oil

Argan oil is great for both your hair and your skin. Yay! I love when oils can be used for different purposes! Anyway, argan oil is rich in vitamin E, has a bunch of antioxidants, helps repair damaged hair and helps keep hair shiny and gorgeous. It’s often called a miracle oil. I’d say I agree!

6. Jojoba Oil

This is another one of those oils that is great for helping to repair damaged hair and deeply moisturize it as well. It helps to mend those annoying damaged ends, while also moisturizing your scalp. If your scalp is moisturized, the rest of your hair will be too! It can also be used as a carrier oil for your skin!
7. Macadamia Oil

Macadamia oil really doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Though you don’t hear a lot about it, it has a lot of great benefits for the hair. It helps to moisturize dry, damaged hair as well as nourish the scalp. It also promotes hair growth and strengthens it!
Everyone can benefit from using these awesome oils in their hair. They are chock full of nutrients and do a really good job at providing healthy care for the hair. These oils are good for all hair types too. Though, if your hair gets oily quickly, I would recommend only doing it a few times out of the month. Other than that, moisturize away! What are your favorite oils to use in your hair that help keep it beautiful?
Comments
Natalia: You can look online for different hair masks or put a little bit before you go to bed and wash like normal in the morning so it has time to soak in your hair while you sleep!
Victoria: Where can u buy coconut oil? Which brand is best?
LeTecia: Grapeseed oil is good also. It's light and is a great heat protectant!
Ashley: Pure coconut oil, after washing your hair, will still remain in your hair. The our coconut oil is more greasier and sticks to hair for a few days. Diluted coconut oils are the ones you can wear everyday, but the pure ones, use only once a week, or (as i do it) once a month, as it can take up to 3-4 days to get all the oil out.
Lola: If you shampoo two times after applying, it won't stay in your hair. I apply oils to my hair 1-2 per week. I have long,beautiful hair and always get asked what I use. Coconut oil is the best. Restores your hair and makes it silky.
Queenz: oh yea castor oil helps hair grow and strengthens the roots. But is difficult to get it washed out of hair.
Nailah: Castor oil
Susu8: Hemp oil for hair is also really good
