  1. Enhances Scalp Health


    Black seed oil contains anti-inflammatory properties that can nourish the scalp and reduce inflammation. This is important as inflammation of the scalp can cause conditions such as dandruff, which is a condition that not only may feel or look unpleasant to have, but it can damage the hair and also cause breakage due to itchiness. The anti-inflammatory properties of black seed oil can prevent damage to the hair follicles caused by dandruff, and well as to help prevent dandruff in the beginning, as a result of it's anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. If the scalp is inflamed it can prevent healthy hair growth as hair follicles are damaged. The anti inflammatory properties of black seed oil also help to prevent an immune response which would otherwise further attack the hair follicles. Therefore, in order for healthy hair to grow, it is essential for the scalp to be healthy.



  2. Moisturises and Protects


    If moisture is lost from the hair, the hair can become dry and brittle, so it is important to not only hydrate the hair but to ensure that it always has sufficient moisture for it to stay healthy. Black seed oil can help the hair to be consistently hydrated, as It's high linoleic acid content helps the hair to retain moisture and prevent moisture loss, making the hair hydrated and more healthy, and preventing dryness. Having black seed oil as an active ingredient in an oil blend can be beneficial for it's ability to support the other hydrating oils to retain the added moisture, increasingly improving the condition of the hair over time.


    How To Use Black Seed Oil On Your Hair


    As Black Seed Oil provides benefits to both the both the scalp and hair strands for overall healthy hair, it is best to apply the oil directly to the scalp as well as the strands.


    When applying to the scalp, gently massage the oil into the scalp as this will not only help the oil to absorb more effectively but it will help to boost blood circulation to the follicles, further enhancing the scalp benefits of the hair oil. Harir Hair Oil is a lightweight oil, so a small amount of the oil can be applied to the scalp prior to styling to nourish the scalp throughout the day without looking greasy or weighing the hair down, but for a more intensive treatment, more oil can be applied overnight before washing, or at least 1-2 hours before washing. The oil can also be applied to the hair strands to hydrate the hair and lock in moisture, preventing dryness and damage. When applying to the strands you can also apply a small amount before styling, and also apply the more intensive treatment before washing.


    By applying the oil to both the scalp and strands the hair will be effectively nourished and protected, and the scalp will recieve the nutrients it needs for a healthy scalp.
