Choosing and applying your vegetable oil: tips for an effective oil bath

Vegetable oils are incredibly versatile, offering a wide range of benefits. They strengthen, coat, and protect the hair while helping to fight frizz, just to name a few advantages.

At Hairborist, all pre-shampoo oil treatments are made exclusively with ingredients from organic farming, ensuring the highest quality and unmatched effectiveness. They deeply repair and beautify your hair, provided they are used correctly. So, how do you choose the oil complex that best suits your needs, and how do you apply it like a pro? Let’s find out!

How to choose your vegetable oils? Repair or Renovator?

At Hairborist, we’ve blended precious vegetable oils to create two 100% natural pre-shampoo treatments with magical properties: Repair & Renovator.

These form the foundation of your oil bath. Each of these complexes can be enriched with essential oils to target specific concerns such as hair loss, dandruff, or oily scalp. This way, you can create the ultimate personalized treatment for your hair: 100% plant-based and tailor-made.

The Aromasynergies boost and focus the effects of these treatments. But both Repair and Renovator are also highly effective on their own if you don’t have any particular issue and simply want to strengthen and beautify your mane.

How to choose between Repair and Renovator?

• Repair: mainly composed of argan, macadamia, rapeseed, wheat germ, jojoba, cedar, and rosemary oils. Perfect for dull, tired hair. It hydrates and restructures, making it ideal for fine hair, oily to normal hair, or strands in need of a shine boost. Suitable for the whole family.

• Renovator: enriched with noble oils like argan, olive, and safflower, combined with sandalwood and wild chamomile essential oils. Richer than Repair, it’s a real lifesaver for damaged hair. Ultra-nourishing, it suits thick, dry to very dry, curly, porous, or chemically treated hair.

How to apply your vegetable oil treatment?

Always apply your oil treatment on dry hair. Why? Because water creates a barrier between the oil and the fiber, limiting absorption. On dry hair, the treatment fully unleashes its powers, allowing your strands to benefit from all the nutrients.

Time to get serious: applying your pre-shampoo treatment

If you’d like to enrich your Repair or Renovator oil with essential oils, prepare your blend in an applicator bottle beforehand. Add 10 drops of Aromasynergy for every 20 ml of pre-shampoo treatment.

Apply the treatment generously to your entire hair, including the roots, on dry hair. Don’t be afraid to use plenty. To boost the benefits of the oils and enjoy a relaxing effect, gently massage your scalp. Twist your oiled strands to let them rest.

Leave on for at least 20 minutes. Take this time to relax and breathe in the captivating scents of the vegetable and essential oils. They don’t just work on beauty and health, but also on emotions. For example, Aromactif Zen is perfect for a moment of total well-being and relaxation.

Rinse, then shampoo your hair with a botanical shampoo. Repeat the shampoo a second time.

Apply your detangling conditioner to finish the ritual. With plant-based care, this step is essential, it closes the hair cuticles and locks in all the benefits of the oils you’ve just applied.

Finally, style your hair and enjoy your gorgeous mane!

With every use, your hair becomes stronger, healthier, shinier, softer, and naturally coated thanks to the plants. And the best part? Over time, the benefits of the oils become even more visible.

Your hair will only keep improving with each application, all with organic care, entirely plant-based, safe for your health, and eco-friendly. Pretty magical, isn’t it?
