It can be tempting to splurge on big-name hair brands, but when you check the ingredient list, you’ll often find mineral oil, alcohol, or other fillers that don’t truly benefit your hair’s health. In fact, some of the best hair treatments are based on simple, natural oils backed by science for their effectiveness.
Castor Oil
Castor oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, which offers anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties, helping to protect your scalp and hair from infections that could trigger hair loss (study). Its high omega-9 fatty acid content prevents scalp dryness and supports hair from the roots. The thick texture of castor oil also coats the hair shaft, smoothing the cuticle, sealing in moisture, and reducing split ends. By massaging castor oil into your scalp just twice a week, you may notice improved hair thickness and overall hair health (reference). Discover nutrient-rich options in our scalp care collection.
Coconut Oil
Derived from the kernel of the Cocos nucifera palm, coconut oil is renowned for restoring hair's shine and vitality. It deeply conditions hair and is known for its ability to reduce protein loss and penetrate the hair shaft (scientific review). Coconut oil is also an effective remedy for dry scalp and dandruff, supporting healthy hair follicle function and providing a barrier against environmental damage (study). For revitalized, hydrated hair, explore our coconut-infused scalp treatments.
Safflower Oil
Extracted from safflower seeds, safflower oil boasts a high level of polyunsaturated fats, including oleic acid (~77%), which can help improve hair texture and maintain scalp hydration—excellent for dry, brittle hair (study). Safflower oil may also promote better blood circulation in the scalp, supporting increased hair growth and thickness by widening blood vessels (reference). For intensive nourishment, try formulas from our scalp care collection.
Sweet Almond Oil
Sweet almond oil is rich in protein, essential for both scalp health and hair structure. While direct evidence for almond oil’s effect on hair growth is limited, studies show that scalp massage can boost circulation and potentially support follicle health (review). Almond oil is an excellent sealer for the cuticle layer, adding shine and manageability—especially for damaged or frizzy hair. Experience our deeply conditioning almond oil blends.
