Five Best Oils for Better Hair

Healthy hair requires a healthy scalp, and for thousands of years, 606dbc747ca5bnatural oils have been used for hair care, caring for the scalp and the hair simultaneously. However, since the turn of the twentieth century, they have taken a back seat as chemically enhanced hair products became commercially available. Today, with a wider knowledge regarding the harmful chemicals which these products expose us to, and a greater concern for the environment, more people are turning to natural products and there has been an upsurge in recent years. A recent poll suggested that 53% of women over the age of 18 are now using natural hair care products, with that figure expected to rise rapidly. 

Loaded with nutrients to naturally care for the scalp and hair, restoring health and vitality, natural oils are suitable for all hair types. So what are the top 5 oils which we recommend?
