When it comes to being out and about, we’re always deciding between whether our hair will be worn up, down, under hats, etc. Our hair routines vary whether we are doing it quickly or we are looking to find our next masterpiece! When it comes to the tools that we use, many of us are constantly adding to our essentials and many times the seasons also dictate how we work with our hair! We use a number of products to ensure that it looks healthy whether we’re in the shower, a salon, while we sleep, and what we do right before we head out the door! A truly hero product for our tresses are hair oils. Hair oils are deeply moisturizing as they make sure to supply the nourishing nutrients (vitamins and antioxidants) for our follicles so that they’re soft and easy to manage for all the styles that we put it through. These oils also create a much needed protective barrier on the shaft so that it is not taking in environmental damage from the elements of UV rays, hair styling, and pollution. We love that it adds that shine that we all want to enjoy when we’re out and about.
At Amika, their hair oil is lightweight and ensures that your hair is strong, smooth, and it is serious about protecting your hair and aims to reduce breakage that can happen. Other reasons to enjoy using hair oils in general is the fact that it also reduces frizz and makes it easier to smooth down flyaways for a polished and put together look. Some hair oils also provide scalp health which soothes the area and reduces dandruff. If you have thick or curly hair, these oils can help the detangling process by making it easier to comb through your hair. From a styling standpoint, hair oils can add volume, texture, or hold which is really important when you are going for a designated look.
Regardless of what hair oil you opt to use, you should always think about what works for your hair type and be mindful of how much you use so that you don’t weigh your hair down! Also keep in mind at what point in your hair process you will engage in hair oiling as well as the technique that works best for you when it comes to applying it.
