How oil can benefit every hair typex

A shiny, healthy-looking head of hair is a beauty goal for a lot of us – there’s no denying a good hair day has the ability to improve your mood. Imagine if that could happen every single time you do your hair?

It can, with some simple and easy habits that ensure your locks are the epitome of health. These are great, even if you don’t have a ton of time or motivation to dedicate to your hair. One of those solutions – which helpfully transcends all hair types – is to get a good hair oil, and use it regularly.

Nexxus’s Repair & Nourish Ultra Lightweight Hair Oil gets our vote for the best on the market (no surprises there…!)Intensely nourishing but ultra lightweight, it’s infused with a dual-rose complex to repair and care for your strands, plus it has a humidity shield, it helps control frizz and offers heat protection.

The fact that it’s suitable for and works wonders on all hair types is an added bonus (not all hair oils can say the same). If you’re unsure about how exactly it can benefit you – whether your hair is dry, oily, straight, curly, wavy, textured, afro or something else altogether – we have you covered.

Boost hydration and moisture in dry hair

One of the main benefits of the Repair & Nourish Ultra Lightweight Hair Oil is that it’s able to deeply penetrate dry and brittle hair to hydrate and moisturize. Formulated with a dual rose complex made up of rose of Jericho oil and damascus rose oil – which are both great for improving overall hair health – it penetrates each individual strand to restore lost moisture, in turn preventing breakage, reducing flyaways and ensuring hair is left feeling soft and supple.

Tame frizz and enhance shine in curly and textured hair

While some people embrace their frizz, others want to tame it, and if you fall into the latter category then hair oil may be able to help solve the problem. The emollient properties of oils work to help create a protective layer that seals the hair cuticle, working to prevent moisture loss – which minimizes frizz levels. All hair types are prone to frizz, and whether your hair is straight, wavy, curly or somewhere in between, using a small amount of oil on either wet or dry hair can add a healthy-looking shine.

Strengthen and prevent damage in brittle hair

As well as being a hydration hero, hair oil is rich in a blend of essential fatty acids, vitamins and antioxidants – all of which contribute to overall hair health. If your hair is damaged through overuse of heat tools, or prone to breakage because it's bleached or chemically treated, a good oil should be key in your routine. Repair & Nourish Ultra Lightweight Hair Oil works to help strengthen hair over time, helping to fortify the hair’s structure which helps it become more resilient.

Balance oil production in greasy hair

If you deal with oily roots and dry ends, or hair that gets greasy really quickly, you might be reluctant to use hair oil. In reality, excess oil can often mean hair needs hydration – applying it directly to your scalp every few washes to help regulate the natural production of oil can actually help to prevent excess oil production in the long run. For daily use and on dry hair, focus oil on the mid lengths and ends, avoiding the scalp to keep lengths hydrated and healthy.
