I know it may seem counterintuitive to put oil in your hair, but it’s something I’ve been doing religiously for years. It’s chemical free, extremely reviving and it doesn’t make your hair oily… Trust me!
When I’m travelling, the last thing I want to make room for in my bags is hair styling tools and products. They are heavy and space consuming. I’d rather save space for shopping 😉
The one hair (and body) product I always travel with is coconut oil. If you’re somewhere dry or humid it will help moisturise and tame frizz. It’s also great for styling 😉
Other oils that are great for your hair include; olive, argan, jojoba, macadamia, almond, avocado and tea tree. Different oils have different beneficial properties, so try a few out and see what works best for you.
When choosing your oil, just make sure you buy pure and cold pressed.
How to apply oil to hair:
I personally don’t apply oil directly to my scalp as your natural oils are your greatest conditioner.
Place a few drops of oil in your hands, rub them together and comb through with fingers evenly starting about 10cm away from the scalp. You can apply to wet or dry hair.
P.S I also use coconut oil as a total body moisturiser. It’s also great for eye makeup removal too.
