Naturalness is the trend right now. Therefore, natural-based cosmetics are very popular. And hair care products are no exception. In particular, hair oils are very popular. They are often advertised as incredibly useful products that can revitalize and normalize even the most problematic and unruly locks. But is it really so? Experienced trichologists warn that oils should be used very carefully, because the effect of their use can be dramatically different.

 

Can oil for hair bring harm?

In fact, many types of oils are able to give an excellent effect and improve the condition of strands. With reasonable use, such means stimulate the growth of curls, nourish them and restore them. However, sometimes oils significantly worsen the condition of the hair. Among the negative consequences of their use:

  • Drying out the strands. The composition of oils contains a significant amount of protein compounds, which are almost identical to the natural protein in the structure of hair shafts. Their chemical composition is virtually identical. Proteins from oils penetrate deep into the hair and in excess make curls dry, stiff and unattractive.
  • Formation of a thin, stable oily film. Oil always leaves traces on the strands in the form of a small stickiness. It is easy enough to get rid of it - you just need to rinse your hair well with shampoo - 1-2 times. However, if this is not enough to cleanse the curls, most likely from the use of such oil should be abandoned.
  • Comedogenicity. Some oils can clog pores in the scalp, increasing the risk of dermatological problems, as well as brittle and dull strands. Disturbed skin functions can also lead to intense hair loss. This problem occurs most often with the use of shea butter as well as cocoa butter.
  • Rapid washout of color. Many girls wonder whether it is possible to use oil after coloring. And hairdressers strongly do not recommend using such means to everyone who wants to preserve the brightness and saturation of the light. Proteins that are contained in oil, when accumulated inside the hair, are able to displace the pigment - dye. Because of this, the hair loses its monotony and attractiveness. However, cosmetics for colored hair, which includes oils, is an exception - it can be used after coloring.
  • Allergies. Allergic people in general do not live easily, and when choosing oils for hair care, they also need to be very, very careful. After all, such products can also provoke allergic reactions, ranging from skin rashes and allergic rhinitis to life-threatening anaphylactic shock. Therefore, allergy sufferers should consult an allergist before choosing an oil and be sure to conduct an allergy test.

 

What are the benefits of oils for hair?

However, speaking of all the disadvantages of oils, you should not forget about their many advantages:

  • All oils for curls contain a significant amount of vitamin E. This nutrient deeply nourishes the hair and helps to restore its structure. It also helps to glue split ends and reduce the brittleness of strands.
  • In the composition of many oils there are also vitamins of the B group. They have a complex effect: they help reduce hair loss, increase shine, protect curls from the aggressive effects of various environmental factors.
  • Useful oils are rich in organic acids. These substances improve the condition of strands that have suffered from aggressive thermal, mechanical or chemical effects. Thanks to them, the strands acquire a healthy shine and elasticity.
  • More among the components of oils are often calcium and magnesium. Such substances are also very important for the health of strands. They strengthen the follicles in the scalp, thanks to which hair loss is reduced. They also add softness and manageability to the curls.
