Struggling with dry, brittle hair? Discover the secrets that curly and Afro-textured hair has relied on for generations: natural oils. Using the right oils can transform your curls, keeping them soft, strong, and beautifully nourished. Oils have been a staple part of Afro hair care routines for many years in the quest to minimise dryness. Wondering why Afro hair has the tendency to be drier than other hair textures?
Well, it’s due to the limitations of sebum production. Sebum is a naturally occurring substance that provides the hair with its natural moisture. Due to the coily/zig-zag formation of Afro-textured hair, sebum is often hindered from travelling all the way down the hair shaft. When hair is lacking in a healthy supply of sebum it can become dry and brittle. However, with regular application of nourishing and lubricating products like creams, leave-ins, and oils, hair can be restored with moisture and hydration.
The Benefits of Using Oils
Incorporating oils into your haircare routine can transform curly, coily hair types, strengthening hair while protecting against damage and dryness. Formulated with natural, nutrient-rich ingredients, hair oils offer a wealth of benefits, including:
-
Stimulating hair growth
-
Enhancing softness and shine
-
Soothing the scalp and reducing flakes or irritation
