Hair oil tips & tricks

- Apply hair oil mainly in the ends of the hair

Which oils are most commonly used?
In a world with all kinds of oils that are good for your hair, it is of course difficult to choose the best one. That is why we have made a selection for you with our customers' favourite oils.
Coconut oil:
Veel haarguru’s beschouwen kokosnootolie als één van de beste oliën voor het haar. Er zijn ook veel wetenschappelijke onderzoeken die deze stelling versterken. Waarom is kokosnootolie zo goed voor het haar?
Voordelen:
- Haarzwelling: Kokosnootolie zorgt ervoor dat het haar minder zwelt als het nat is. Als het haar nat wordt zwelt het op en komt er druk op de haarschubben te staan. Olie is hydrofobisch (zeer slecht met water te mengen) . In de praktijk betekent dit dat er minder water binnenkomt in het haar als je kokosolie aanbrengt voordat je het haar wast. Zo komt er minder druk van buitenuit op de haarschubben te staan, waardoor ze niet zo omhoog geduwd worden en dus ook niet zo snel afbreken.
- Dringt dieper door: Kokosolie is een triglyceride van laurinezuur. Laurinezuur is een vetzuur wat ook van nature voorkomt in onze eigen huidolie. Dit is ook de reden dat kokosolie het zo goed kan vinden met haareiwitten. Ook dringt kokosolie makkelijker door in de haarschacht vanwege zijn lage moleculaire gewicht.
- Beschermt tegen de zon: Kokosolie heeft een SPF van 7.1 en biedt daarmee bescherming tegen de schadelijke UV-stralen van de zon. Kokosolie beschermt het haar beter tegen de zon dan bijvoorbeeld amandel-, sesam- en wonderolie. Alleen olijfolie overtreft kokosolie met een SPF van 7.5. Ook voorkomt deze olie dat je haar uitdroogt in de zon vanwege de hydraterende eigenschappen.
Argan oil:
Arganolie is tegenwoordig niet meer weg te denken als je het over haarverzorging hebt. Waarom is deze oliesoort zo populair met name voor beschadigd haar?
Voordelen:
- Vitamin E: Argan oil is unusually rich in vitamin E. This amazing vitamin creates a protective layer around your hair. Thus, your locks are protected from outside influences. Argan oil also protects hair from the heat of hair tools like straighteners and blow dryers. Kill two birds with one stone, preventing hair damage.
- Omega fats: Argan oil contains the fatty acids omega 3 and 9. These fatty acids feed your hair roots to the maximum and provide them with the necessary nutrients to prevent and repair split ends. Last but not least, these magic fats also provide your hair with a beautiful shine. Say goodbye to frizzy hair!
- Antioxidants: Argan oil contains antioxidants and we all know that antioxidants fight ageing. Antioxidants also benefit the hair. They make the hair strong, soft and supple again. And just like vitamin E, the antioxidants in argan oil also protect against external influences.
Macadamia olie
Macadamia oil is also unmissable when it comes to damaged hair. Macadamia oil has restorative properties for hair. This oil is particularly rich in vitamins and minerals such as manganese copper, iron, magnesium and zinc. A combination of ingredients guaranteed to create a metamorphosis in your hair.
Voordelen:
- Fluff-free and soft hair: With this oil, you can go through life without frizzy hair again. Hair is also soft after using macadamia oil.
- Light: A great advantage of this oil is that it feels very light in the hair. You only need to use 2 or 3 drops to achieve the desired result. Never use too much or the hair may become too greasy.
- Antioxidants: The antioxidants in macadamia oil strengthen and nourish hair.
- Imitates your scalp's natural oil production.
Rosehip oil:
Rosehip oil is extracted from the seed of the rosehip fruit (Rosa Canina). Rosehip oil is rich in concentrated retinoic acid, a substance that plays a role in skin and hair repair. We have all heard about the aforementioned oils at one time or another. In contrast, rosehip oil is a little less known. Nevertheless, this oil too is wonderfully good for your hair.
Voordelen:

- Gentle for sensitive scalps
