Favorite Oils for the Summertime

The first one is coconut oil

-Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrition for hair. It helps in healthy growth of hair providing them a shiny complexion. Regular massage of the head with coconut oil ensures that your scalp is free of dandruff, lice, and lice eggs, even if your scalp is dry. Coconut oil is extensively used in the Indian sub-continent for hair care. Most of the people in these countries apply coconut oil on their hair daily after bath. It is an excellent conditioner and helps in the re-growth of damaged hair. It also provides the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair. It is therefore used as hair care oil and used in manufacturing various conditioners, and dandruff relief creams. Coconut oil is normally applied topically for hair care.






The second oil will be Extra Virgin Olive oil


evoo for hairExtra Virgin Olive Oil, also known as EVOO, is a natural remedy to some hair care issues. EVOO is wonderful for hair. Consider using EVOO in the following ways:

For more Slip – EVOO is an oil that may be added to products to provide extra “slip”, which makes the product go through the strands easier; this makes manipulating the hair easier.

To Detangel - EVOO may also be used as a detangling agent. The oil may be applied to the hair, and be worked through your coils in order to make detangling a breeze.

As a Sealant – Extra Virgin Olive Oil may be used to “seal” in moisture that comes from moisturizers in order to give the hair an extra layer of protection.

To Enhance Your Conditioner’s Properties – Your conditioner may be fine on its own, but it may become better once you add in extra virgin olive oil. 

For Oiling the Roots or Scalp - If you have a dry scalp or a low production of sebum, consider oiling the scalp with evoo.

As a Deep Conditioner/Hot Oil Treatment- Let the EVOO sit on the hair with a bag on it…add heat if you like and enjoy an all natural DC or a hot oil treatment.


The Third oilT

The third oil Jojoba Oil.

Benefits of jojoba oil

Provides all day moisturization – jojoba oil doesn’t evaporate like water based moisturizers can.

It is theorized, but not yet proven, that because jojoba oil is so similar to human skin oil, it can "trick" the skin into thinking it has produced enough oil and thus balance oil production.

Very stable  jojoba oil does not become rancid or lose antioxidants even after long periods of storage.

Spreads well and absorbs well.

The organic variety is free of pesticides, GMOs, and is sustainably farmed.


Hair conditioner – You can mix a few drops of jojoba oil into your current conditioner or use it on its own. You can also add it to damp hair before drying. Also, you can add it to dry hair to promote shine. Jojoba oil also moisturizes the scalp, helping prevent dandruff
