Your mom’s tried and tested recommendation.

Adding ‘hair oils for dry hair’ to your hair care routine!

Everyone’s hair and scalp are different, and some people have a scalp much oilier than others, and just like our skin, we need oil to have healthy, strong hair.

Dry hair is more devoid of oil nourishment as it has more exposed cuticles leading to hair becoming frizzier and weaker.

A] So how do hair oils work and help with dry hair?

Hair oil works by coating the hair strands and smoothening the surface of your hair (Outer Cuticle) giving it instant nourishment making your hair look livelier and more nourished.

Oiling dry hair also strengthens the inner core of the hair strand by providing moisture and helping keep the bonds strong. But not all hair oils are good for your hair as they can be too heavy on your scalp, making hair look too greasy.

So, what are the best hair oils for dry hair?
