Top 5 Benefits of Hair Oil

Hello Beautiful Soul,

You might be thinking, do I even need oil for my hair?  

Yes, because it’s a fantastic multitasker and overall great hair health booster. 

Doesn’t my hair naturally produce oil? 

Also yes and .. unfortunately, nature doesn't always work as intended especially when we interfere with things like heat styling and coloring. Add on top of that our cold dry climate all winter and our natural oil often just isn’t enough to keep our hair moisturized. That’s where oil comes in. A good hair oil is rich in fatty acids which replace the lipids in your hair keeping it strong. 


Plus hair oil is super easy to use 
and you don't need much to get great results.

5 BENEFITS OF USING OIL FOR HAIR:

  • Hair oil strengthens your hair by increasing the elasticity and tensile strength, which means your hair will be less prone to breakage.

  • Improved hair strength allows your hair to grow longer, faster. And if you take a few minutes to massage your scalp when applying your hair oil, you can actually stimulate hair growth and reduce stress which is a main cause for hair loss.

  • Hair oil protects your hair from heat damage by coating each hair strand with a protective layer.

  • Rich fatty acids and vitamins hydrate your hair and create a barrier that prevents your strands from losing precious moisture. This barrier also prevents humidity from entering the hair shaft, taming frizz and flyaways.

  • Oils are natural UV protectants. Plant phenols found in botanical oils have the natural ability to prevent and even reverse the harmful effects of UV damage on your hair.

10 EASY WAYS TO USE HAIR OIL:

  1. Try Aveda Nutriplenish Multi-Use Hair Oil as a moisturizing treatment in the shower. Apply oil to your hair before you take a shower, if you have long hair put it in a messy bun, then let the steam from the shower open the cuticle and penetrate into the hair. Shampoo and condition as normal and your hair will feel amazing!

  2. When you have fine hair, it’s easy to go overboard with styling products. Instead of piling on product, try using Young.Again Dry Conditioner on days when you don’t wash your hair. This weightless spray nourishes your hair, adds moisture, restores softness and protects against the elements.

  3. What? You have curly hair and have never tried hair oil before? Now’s the time to start! Once you’re done shampooing and conditioning, apply a few drops onto wet hair, then use a wide-tooth comb to help detangle. Curls come in all types so ask your stylist which oil would be best.

  4. Hair oil is your best friend when you need to tame frizz and flyaways. Frizzy hair plagues us all from time to time, but thankfully, Shimmer.Shine and Shimmer.Me Blonde can help tame that frizz and add you guessed it, brilliant shine. Just twirl and spray on damp or dry hair to smooth frizz and flyaways. These products also smell amazing, making them a favorite of stylists at Orange Poppy Spa.

  5. Use Aveda Dry Remedy Daily Oil to protect against split ends. Although scheduling regular haircuts is the real trick for how to get rid of split ends, you can help protect your strands by using a hair oil as part of your regular hair care routine. Put it on wet or dry hair—whatever you prefer!

  6. Spray Shimmer.Shine or Shimmer.Me Blonde before creating braids. It’s often easier to work with hair that’s smooth so prior to braiding your hair, mist the ends with Shimmer.Shine. You can use it on damp or dry hair prior to braiding, so your styling options aren’t limited.

  7. Try Young.Again Treatment Oil before using your flat iron or curling iron. It could be said that your hairstyle is only as good as the products you use to prep your hair. And, you guessed it, using a hair oil is a great way to get your strands ready for styling. Simply apply a small amount of Young.Again Treatment on damp hair before other styling products. Dry and then use your hot tools as usual.

  8. Do you wish you could achieve the same smooth, shiny style of a professional blowout at home? Add Young.Again Treatment Oil to your hair before blow-drying with a round brush and finish with a spritz of a lightweight hair spray like Session.Flex.

  9. Add Aveda Dry Remedy Daily Moisturizing oil to your conditioner for an extra boost of moisture. Regardless of your hair type or texture, a hair oil can help revive the appearance of your hair. No wonder it’s one of our favorite products!

  10. Become a sleeping beauty by applying Aveda Nutriplenish Multi-Use Hair Oil before bedtime. Throw your hair into a top knot and use a silk pillowcase to really up your beauty sleep game.
