You don’t always have to buy fancy, big name hair products for your hair. Sometimes the best products are actually very simple and found in your local Whole Foods store. What are these simple hair products? Well they’re natural oils. I’m a natural haired woman and know first-hand that natural oils are amazing for hair. They work wonders on my hair. And I’ve been using natural oils for years to make my hair softer, shinier, and even stronger. Basically hair needs oil. So be sure to check out these 7 fabulous natural oils for natural hair.
Avocado Oil
Avocado oil is particularly great for natural hair. It’s loaded with nutrients, amino acids, essential fatty acids, as well as vitamins A, B, D, and E. And it’s excellent for moisturizing, deep conditioning, improving hair strength, strengthening hair, and boosting shine.
Castor Oil
Castor oil thickens hair, promotes hair growth, prevents thinning, moisturizes, helps reduce split ends, helps to tame frizz, and prevents scalp infections.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is great for preventing dandruff, promoting hair growth, moisturizing, strengthening hair, thickening hair, and preventing damage.
Olive Oil (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
I LOVE using olive oil. And olive oil, which is also referred to as the “godmother of hair oil,” is great for moisturizing, deep conditioning, improving hair strength, eliminating dandruff, and also has powerful antioxidants that can help fight hair loss.
Rosemary Oil
Rosemary oil is great for stimulating hair follicles for hair growth, preventing hair loss and greying, preventing dandruff, strengthening hair, and boosting shine.
Safflower Oil
Safflower oil protects hair, nourishes hair follicles, moisturizes, and stimulates blood circulation to promote hair growth and thickness. And it is extremely beneficial for natural as well as dry chemically treated hair.
Sweet Almond Oil
Sweet almond oil works great as a “sealant.” This means that it “locks-in” moisture. Sweet almond oil also nourishes hair, smoothes hair cuticles to control shedding, promotes hair growth and thickness, prevents hair loss, and boosts shine.
Ladies, which of these oils do you use? And which are your favorites?
I have a question are you able to mix all the oils together avocado, castor, coconut, rosemary, safflower, sweet almond, extra virgin olive, jojoba, grapeseed and argan oils. to help hair loss in hispanic women like myself? and what brand is the best to buy?
It depends on your hair type. My daughter’s hair is 2c/3a and produces more than enough of it’s own natural oils, unlike mine which is 3c/4a and very dry. She adds a little argan oil after she washes and conditions and that’s all she needs. Anything more, and her hair is oily and limp. The products I purchase are completely natural, and contain a mixture of the oils listed.
There are a number of Latina’s on YouTube with naturally curly hair. Find someone who’s hair is similar to your’s and see what that person is using. Good luck!
Oh, and dry a pre-poo with coconut oil or my favorite Amla/coconut or safflower oil (I get mine on Amazon.com but other sites geared toward Ayurvedic hair care do as well). It’s helped me alot with dry hair, and applying castor oil directly to an area at my crown that was thinning daily, brought back the hair I had lost.
