Hair oil contains moisturising and conditioning properties that give hair lustre and shine. Sweet almond oil is a light oil that has many benefits for your hair and scalp. We all want healthy looking; beautiful hair and using sweet almond oil can be a step towards achieving this.
Rich in vitamin E, sweet almond oil contains essential fatty acids that condition your scalp and hair. For those of you who suffer from an itchy, inflamed scalp, sweet almond oil reduces these uncomfortable annoyances.
Sweet almond oil can be used as a hot oil treatment when applied to your hair and then covered with a shower cap. The treatment should then be left to work on your hair for about 30 minutes before being shampooed out. The oil can also be applied before bed time and washed out in the morning. Also, adding a few drops of it to your regular conditioner can give your hair an extra lift.
Sweet almond oil can tame fly-aways and reduce frizz by sealing the hair cuticle. For those in between hair cut days when you have a few spilt ends, apply a drop or two of the oil on the hair ends for a quick, but short term solution. Use sweet almond oil sparingly as a little of it can go a long way. Using any more than a couple of drops may leave your hair looking greasy.
Massaging sweet almond oil into the scalp aids with circulation, which is good for hair growth. Many people use sweet almond oil as a hair loss prevention measure or to facilitate hair growth stimulation as it is full of nutrients that contribute to healthy hair.
Sweet almond oil works well when combined with other essential oils. There are lots of essential oils such as rosemary that contain healing properties; however, they shouldn't be used alone in full concentration.
