What if just a drop of oil could bring your hair back to life? When the hair fiber lacks suppleness, shine or strength, plant oils can transform your routine into a truly restorative treatment. Thanks to enveloping textures and targeted natural active ingredients, they deeply nourish, durably protect and revitalize each strand, without weighing it down. Whether your hair is dry, brittle, curly or color-treated, there's an oil to suit.

Why add a hair oil to your routine?

Hair oils can help nourish, moisturize and protect hair from damage caused by environmental factors such as wind, sun and chemicals. They can also help repair split ends, strengthen roots and improve hair elasticity. Hair oils such as coconut oil and argan oil also have antifungal and antibacterial properties that can help combat dandruff and maintain a healthy scalp. What's more, certain oils can add shine and softness to hair, add texture and facilitate styling.

Why protect your hair from the sun?

Just like your skin, you need to protect your hair from the disastrous effects of the sun.
Exposing your hair to the sun's gentle caress also means exposing yourself to the damaging effects of salt, chlorine and wind, which discolor, dehydrate and weaken your hair. After your vacation, you return home with tanned skin but dry, brittle, dull, damaged and rough hair. Great!
Color-treated hair is not spared either. Under UV light, it's even more sensitive than natural hair. So it needs special protection to prevent color fading or washing out.

Protecting your hair

To protect your hair, there are a few basic rules to follow:
Stay out of the sun between noon and 4 p.m.
Wear hats, caps, scarves... during prolonged exposure.
Rinse hair with fresh water after every swim
Wash hair with mild shampoos and apply nourishing masks if necessary
Apply creams, oils, mousses... to protect hair before exposure to the sun

What benefits do plant oils bring to the hair?

Hair oils can have a number of benefits, such as

Nourishing and moisturizing hair: Some oils, like argan oil or coconut oil, contain fatty acids that can help nourish and moisturize hair, making it softer and more manageable.
Strengthen hair: Some oils, like hair castor oil or mustard oil, can help strengthen hair by improving growth and reducing breakage.
Protect hair: Certain oils, such as grapeseed oil or jojoba oil, can help protect hair from damage caused by UV rays and environmental factors.
Stimulate hair growth: Certain oils, such as black cumin oil or hemp oil, can help stimulate hair growth by improving blood circulation in the scalp.
It's important to note that it's important to choose the right hair oil for your needs and hair type. It is also important to wash hair thoroughly after using oil to avoid residue.

How do I apply hair oil on a daily basis?

You can use hair oil as an oil bath before shampooing. To do so, follow these steps:

Apply a small amount ofnatural vegetable oil to your hands and distribute evenly.
Apply the oil to sections of your hair, starting with the ends and working your way up to the roots.
Comb or style your hair to distribute the oil evenly.
Let the oil sit on your hair for a few minutes, or overnight for a more intensive treatment.
Rinse or wash hair as usual.

It's important to note that the use of hair oil can vary according to hair type and desired effect. It is therefore advisable to start with a small amount of oil and add more if necessary.

After-shampoo hair oil is a product used to nourish and moisturize hair after washing. It can be applied to damp or dry hair and can help reduce frizz, add shine and strengthen hair. There are different types of hair oil, each with specific benefits for different hair types.

What are the different hair oils and what are they used for?

Oils are classified according to their penetrating properties, molecular weight and effect on the hair.

Penetrating oils

Thanks to their small molecular size and affinity for keratin, these oils can penetrate deep into the hair fiber. They are ideal for moisturizing and repairing hair from within. Examples:

Coconut oil: Contains lauric acid, which strengthens cuticle cohesion.
Avocado oil: Enriched with vitamins A, D and E, it restores elasticity to damaged hair.

Film-forming oils

These oils remain on the hair's surface, forming a protective film that seals in moisture and protects against external aggressions:

Argan oil: Renowned for its role in thermal protection.
Sesame oil: Acts as a natural sunscreen for hair.

Semi-penetrating oils

Some oils offer a balance between penetration and protection. They deeply moisturize while improving the appearance of the hair's surface:

Olive oil: Versatile, it intensely nourishes while reinforcing the lipid barrier.
Macadamia oil: Reduces frizz while promoting softness.
