Oiling the hair may sound like a greasy business but it is been part of women’s beauty regimes in Asia for a long time. But now the world as our hair pays the price for the harsh chemical treatments, we turn to age old beauty remedies to restore our crowning glories.
London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/21/2011 -- Thick and beautiful hair represents youth and health and beauty. Although as we age our hair ages too, it becomes drier, and breaks easily and many women complain of thinning hair as they cross into menopause. Hair depends on many factors, lifestyle, diet, stress, and harsh hair treatments all play a part and of course the all important genes
Cold pressed and unrefined oils whether nut oils, seed oils, flower oils and more, seem to be a huge demand for both hair and skin care.
Popular oils include the Japanese Camellia oil, a hair and skin oil used by Japanese women over centuries to preserve their beauty. In India and Sri Lanka one of the most popular hair oils is Coconut oil. This is massaged three to four times a week into the scalp and left overnight or even for a few days to nourish and replenish the hair and scalp. Jojoba oil is wonderful oil for hair too, and is particularly popular for Afro hair, as is Shea butter. Argan and Rosehip oils are also great skin and hair oils.
The Really Good Hair oil has been formulated with an effective and nutritive blend of five nourishing and rejuvenating oils. It contains the well known Moroccan Argan and Virgin Coconut oils known for their hair strengthening and smoothing properties. This has been blended with the vitamin E rich Avocado oil and Sweet Almond oil to replenish and restore shine and moisture, added to this are the potent Ayurvedic triple infused herbs Brahmi and Neem. Brahmi is rich in antioxidants and helps with hair growth and hair discolouration. Brahmi is able to nourish the hair roots and promote healthier growth while Neem will promote a healthier scalp and is extremely beneficial for thinning hair.
Fragranced with the gorgeous Indian Jasmine essential oil, the Really Good Hair oil is a superb combination of the very best oils to ensure your hair is left beautifully conditioned, healthier and stronger
The process of massaging the oil into the hair is also most important as this is where you can help stimulate hair growth and rejuvenate the hair follicles. Indian head massage is a treatment where the masseuse applies oils for you and is part of many spa menus these days. Whilst massaging hair oil, be sure to part your hair and distribute the oil equally to all parts of the scalp, from the back to the crown and to the temples. Another great tip is to wrap a steaming hot towel around the head; this opens up the follicles and the oils seeps in deeply. Warm oil is also preferable to cold oil as this sinks into the skin much more easily and provides a very therapeutic sensation too
Many hair care products are now using oil as part of their ingredients, Serums and hair masks contain oils and many hair balms contain oils like Avocado oil to repair dry and damaged hair.
