Many people inquire as to the differences between hair oil and serum products, but unfortunately the two don’t make a completely interchangeable pair.
Argan Oil
Argan oil is an amazing hair product, strengthening, nourishing, and protecting strands against frizz, breakage and flyaways while locking in moisture for smooth and healthy locks. Our nutrient-rich formulation includes shea butter, sunflower and rice bran oils for the ideal amount of shine; plus we added soothing frankincense essential oil for added scalp comfort. Just apply a few drops to wet or dry locks to tame frizz and flyaways easily for sleek results – ideal when used alongside Theorie shampoo & conditioner for optimal results.
When purchasing argan oil, be sure it is certified organic and ethically harvested from a single source in Morocco for maximum quality. In addition, make sure it is pure, first cold-pressed and undiluted for best results; and free from fragrance or strong smells as tree nuts could potentially cause contact dermatitis in some individuals.
Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil for hair and scalp care is an all-natural plant extract made of liquid wax derived from Simmondsia chinensis shrub seeds, providing skin protection as well as hydration control. You can use jojoba alone or add it to other products, like shampoos and conditioners, for maximum effectiveness.
Jojoba oil is an amazing moisturizer and anti-inflammatory solution, ideal for keeping scalps looking their best by combating dandruff and itchy conditions as well as helping balance out oil production, making strands appear shiny. Apply jojoba after washing and pre-styling or leave on overnight for deep conditioning treatments.
When purchasing jojoba oil products, it is crucial that they come from organic cold pressing, without additional ingredients. This will guarantee pure and safe use; in tests on rabbits it caused only temporary conjunctival irritation while no allergic reactions were noted in human patches tests.
Sunflower Oil
Sunflower oil (helianthus annuus oil) is a light-colored vegetable oil frequently used for hair and skin treatments. As an natural moisturizer, sunflower oil helps reduce dry flakes or frizz on your scalp or mane.
Argan oil is an invaluable weapon against signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, thanks to its rich blend of antioxidants and vitamin E that improve circulation to the scalp, helping prevent premature damage to hair strands.
Sunflower oil contains high concentrations of both oleic and linoleic acids, making it “an indispensable solution for hydrating the scalp and hair strands,” says cosmetic chemist Hatice Yildirim. These fatty acids work to lock in moisture that locks strands together for strength against breakage while its Omega-6 fatty acid content strengthens your mane for added benefits. To maximize these advantages, sunflower oil should be combined with other nourishing oils like argan or jojoba oils to maximize benefits.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil provides nourishment and hydration while strengthening weak spots to decrease breakage, perfect for those suffering from dryness or frizzing. Plus, its abundance of antioxidants help protect hair against UV rays as well as environmental stressors that cause breakage!
Coconut oil is an important and healthy saturated fat source, but should only be used sparingly and as an alternative oil in high heat recipes. Furthermore, its small amount of MCTs could aid fat-burning efforts making it a suitable addition for keto dieters.
Consuming coconut oil has been proven to reduce LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, and triglycerides; and to moisturize skin and improve barrier function. Furthermore, one study concluded that applying virgin coconut oil directly to skin helped rehydrate people with atopic dermatitis by applying virgin coconut oil topically; unrefined versions should be preferred to avoid chemical processing and bleaching processes.
