Why to Oil Hair with Palm Oil? Advice and 3 Incredible Hair Products

Palm oil is one of the most popular natural oils thanks to its common use in cooking and food products. The unrefined version works as an excellent cosmetic that brings effects, mostly in hair care (from light brown to black hair).

Palm oil is composed of coenzyme Q10, vitamins A and E and beta carotene that slows down ageing and hair greying.

I have blonde hair. Can I apply palm oil?

Palm oil has a good proportion of fatty acids: it works both for medium and low porosity hair as it contains 49% of saturated fatty acids and 37% of omega-9 monounsaturated acids. Regrettably, palm oil has an intense orange colour. Applied to your skin or hair regularly and for a long time, it gently dyes them mahogany. That is why blondes should avoid palm oil. You can successfully replace it with other natural oils that have a similar quantity of fatty acids e.g. Neem Oil or Baobab Oil. If you have medium porosity hair (delicate, thin, weak and frizzy), feel free to use Camellia Oil, Argan Oil, Moringa Oil, Marula Oil, Jojoba Oil or Macadamia Oil.

You know the ideal solution? It is finding a blend of properly picked natural oils. They deliver scalp and hair benefits and their action is intensified because the oils complement each other, delivering a full set of vitamins and minerals.

The best hair oils on the market are mainly the ones that contain many different natural and cold-pressed oils, free from parabens and silicones. That is why you can apply them to your scalp where they have a direct influence on the condition of hair bulbs and scalp. The task of many products is also conditioning, making hairstyling easy and protecting from the harmful sunlight and toxins.

Nanoil Hair Oil is one of the best commercially available hair oils. It is designed in 3 versions; each matches different hair porosity, or structure. Nanoil Hair Oil works for scalp oiling thus reinforces and repairs hair bulbs. As a result, your hair stops falling out, grows more quickly and gains body. The ingredients of Nanoil are well composed; there are no parabens or comedogenic substances that could disrupt the function of sebaceous glands. What is more, each of the three versions offers beautifying and regenerating substances like keratin, panthenol and liquid silk. They make the oils work more effectively and have a direct impact on the health of your hair. Nanoil Hair Oil is not only a deeply repairing treatment. You can apply it to dry or damp hair, rinse out or leave in, treat as a serum for damaged hair ends or a smoothing emulsion.
