Best Performing Hair Oils for Smoother Tresses

Why use a hair oil?

The benefits of hair oil are numerous; here are just a few reasons why we love using hair oil over here at Beauty Tribe:

• It’s lightweight. You don’t need to worry about hair oil making your hair feel heavy or full of product; it absorbs easily and won’t weigh down your tresses.
• You can use it on all hair types. Whether you have curly, kinky, damaged, coloured, dry and oily hair, you can use hair oil.
• Apply whenever you want. Unlike more heavy-duty hair products, you can apply hair oil when you’re in-between washes for a quick smoothing boost.
• Instant results. While some hair products will require a number of applications before you can see results, hair oil gives you that instant softness and high-shine gloss.

Benefits of using hair oil

So, what exactly can hair oil do for your hair? Depending on your chosen hair oil – and your hair type – here are some of the benefits you can enjoy when you incorporate a hair oil into your routine:

• Smoothes the hair
• Conditions the hair
• Provides shine and gloss
• Easier styling
• Instant softness
