Hair Care
12 Best Hair Oils — And Why You Need OneUsing a hair oil will completely change your hair care routine forever — no exaggeration. Here's everything you need to know about the best hair oils out there. |
Motions Marula Natural Therapy Hair & Scalp Oil, $6.19 Thanks to its antioxidant properties, Marula oil, which comes from the Marula tree in Africa, is a rising-star ingredient in the beauty industry — it's positioned to oust argan from the top spot. And this hair oil is loaded with it. The Marula protects hair from damage; plus, there's honey for shine, and chamomile to soothe scalp irritation. Even though Motions products are generally designed "for coarse hair types, a small amount of this one will work even on fine hair."

My wonderful experience with John Frieda's "Thermal Protection Serum" has left me open to trying other oils. My hair is far more healthy now, with body and shine. It breaks less often.

Thanks for the info. However, the list has too many products that are mixed with silicones, mineral oil and/or petrolatum. Since silicones and mineral oil and petrolatum block the other 'good' oils from penetrating the hair shaft and they are so cheap to manufacture I can't see paying the prices listed for these "elixirs". The Moroccan Oil line has the same blend as these "elixirs" so I wonder whether it would be considered a nice product as well. As others have stated, it is probably more cost-effective and product wise to go straight to the source and pick up pure maruli, argan, tamanu, coconut, jojoba or extra virgin olive oil, all cold-pressed of course.

Love the descriptions, but additional help would be whether product is OTC (some are obvious) or salon-purchase. Some beautiful and beneficial oils here and I've used quite a few ... wonderful for scratchy, over-processed (ouch), frizzy (tropical weather), sunshiny, but none-the-less, beautiful hair !!!

Where's Moroccanoil? I've used it for years and will never go without it. It's my favorite!

These all sound really nice. I have super fine hair, but these sound like enough even for me! I've recently begun using body oils, so I might have to venture into hair oils (I'm still afraid of face oils...)

I am anxious to try Loreal's hair oils, nourishing and the detangler with milk :) I love the new hair oils and my fine-frizzy hair will appreciate them too.

I'm ready to try Kerastase Elixir Ultime. I got a free sample today, what a coincidence!!!

I did not like L'Oreal's Mytic Oil. It did nothing for me. Moroccan oil is the best I have tried!
