Avocado Oil for hair

Avocado oil is a natural oil extracted from Avocados and has gained popularity for its various benefits. Not only is it a known for its extensive health benefits, it can also be used as a moisturising hair oil for the hair, enhancing both hair and scalp health. Below you can read about the benefits of this lightweight oil, and how you should use it to get the best results for your hair.

Benefits of Avocado Oil

1. Nourishes and Strengthens

Avocado oil is primarily made up of Oleic Acid, a mono-unsaturated fat renowned for it's ability to both deeply penetrate the hair and scalp, as well as seal in moisture, improving hair hydration and preventing moisture loss.

Its Vitamin A content increases hair health by increasing sebum production, which moisturises and hydrates the hair and scalp. When the hair is hydrated, it is not only healthier, softer, and more shiny, but it is also stronger and less likely to break. When hair breaks it damages the cuticle layer, which can often lead to the hair appearing more dull, and lacking shine.

Avocado oil is also rich in Vitamin B-5, which acts as a humectant, attracting moisture to the hair as well as enabling the hair to retain more moisture; as a result the hair is more hydrated and also appears fuller and healthier.

2. Protects and Renews

Oleic Acid makes up 60% of Avocado Oil, and also has antioxidant properties which help to fight against free radicals which can otherwise contribute to the damage of hair cells. Oleic acid also has anti-inflammatory properties which create a healthy scalp for the growth of healthy hair.

Vitamin B-5 also helps to minimise hair damage from heat styling tools, by repairing and renewing the hair. The anti-inflammatory properties soothe an irritated scalp, creating a healthy environment for hair growth and hair health.

The Vitamin E content of Avocado Oil protects the cells of the hair with its antioxidant properties, by reducing oxidative stress causes by free radicals, which could otherwise lead to dry, brittle hair, and even stunt hair growth. It's antioxidant properties also work to improve blood circulation to the scalp, encouraging hair growth and enhancing the nutrients absorbed by the follicles, leading to healthier hair.

Is Avocado Oil suitable for all hair types?

Due to it's various hair benefits, and lightweight consistency, avocado oil is suitable for all types, providing intense nourishment and protection to the hair and scalp, regardless of hair type. However, when applying oil, it can be beneficial to apply it in a way that is most suitable for your type. Different hair types may differ in the absorption rate of an oil and there are a few tricks and ways to further optimise how well the oil absorbs and provides its maximum benefits, dependent on hair type.

Essentially, the oil will work for all hair types, it is just helpful to know what application method will give the best results for your individual hair.

How to use Avocado Oil for Hydration

Avocado oil can be applied to dry or damp hair; this is the best way for the oil to absorb into the hair effectively. Apply the oil on to the fingertips and gently massage into the scalp and the hair strands. By massaging the oil into the hair you can help to increase blood flow to the scalp, supporting the benefits of the oil to improve hair health. Leave the oil in for at least 1-2 hours before washing to allow time for absorption, or for a more intensive treatment leave in the hair overnight. A small amount of oil can also be applied daily before styling to add extra nourishment to the hair.
