Healthy Hair Oils



Natural oils are a staple in the formulation of hair products. They are such amazing multitaskers, each having such an array of health-promoting functions, that even the most sophisticated laboratories can't create an equal. When used in the hair, they create shine, add suppleness, repair damage, seal the cuticle, soothe the scalp, and more.

Once you understand what they do, they become a powerful tool in the quest for great hair. You can pick up one or two on your next trip to the grocery store and use them straight or mix them into your favorite hair products in many creative ways. If you know which ones your hair responds to, look for products that are formulated with them to see your hair behaving better than ever.

Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is a superior quality oil that is closer than any other compound in nature to the human skin oil sebum. There are theories that it can balance the oil production in skin for this reason. You can add a few drops of organic jojoba oil to your daily moisturizer to subside any flakiness and it won't clog your pores.

When it comes to hair, jojoba is excellent for the scalp and helpful in preventing dandruff. Tri Jojoba Hair and Scalp Conditioner is excellent for normalizing oily hair and giving fine hair exceptional body.



Olive Oil

Olive oil is an amazing multitasker for the hair. You can use it in a variety of ways.
  • Olive oil accelerates the sun's highlighting ability. Get natural highlights in the summer by rubbing a few drops into the hair every day.
  • Include it in hot oil treatments.
  • Olive oil improves the elasticity of your hair. Use it to mend dryness and brittleness.
You can also incorporate it into a moisture rich conditioning treatment like Nexxus Phyto Organics Babassu Mudd Hair Treatment, which contains other amazing but less common oils like emollient-rich Babassu and strengthening Kaolin.

Other oils that are easy to find are organic coconut oil which reduces protein loss in the hair, and castor oil which is great for sealing your ends. If you prefer a pre-mixed oil treatment to dress the hair, Nexxus Aloxxi Botanic Oil blends moisturizing vegetable oils to replenish dry hair and it's great for skin and nails as well.
