Natural hair oil: 3 ways to integrate it into your haircare routine

Are you already a fan of natural hair oils? So are we! Here are our expert tips to seamlessly add them to your daily haircare routine and unlock all the benefits they can bring to your hair.

The benefits of natural oils for hair

Rich in essential fatty acids, all vegetable oils for hair nourish and deeply hydrate. But each oil also comes with its own unique properties, offering targeted benefits for specific needs. Here’s an overview of the oils we use at Hairborist and the reasons why they are true allies for healthy hair:

Argan oil: Packed with vitamin E and antioxidants, it is renowned for its repairing and moisturizing power. It is ideal for dry, brittle, or damaged hair exposed to external aggressors such as sun, heat styling, or chemical coloring. It restores strength, shine, and softness.
Jojoba oil: With a pH very similar to that of the scalp, it has natural balancing properties. It regulates excess sebum, soothes the skin, and leaves no greasy residue thanks to its dry-touch texture. Perfect for oily or sensitive scalps.
Olive oil: Rich in polyphenols and vitamins, this oil is a must for color-treated hair. It helps maintain vibrancy, slows color fading, and protects the fiber against UV damage.
Safflower oil: Known for its softening effect, it improves hair elasticity while protecting the scalp from dryness and irritation.
Sesame oil: With its lightweight texture and strong penetration capacity, it works deep within the hair fiber to provide long-lasting nourishment and hydration.
Macadamia oil: Made up of nearly 60% unsaturated fatty acids and concentrated in vitamins A and B, this oil stimulates growth, prevents scalp dryness, and is particularly suitable for fine or oily hair thanks to its lightweight feel.
Wheat germ oil: Exceptionally rich in nutrients, it strengthens weak or split ends, leaving hair softer, stronger, and more resilient.

How to choose the right natural hair oil?

Everywhere you look, especially on social media, you’ll see recommendations for a specific natural hair oil: one for hair growth, another for deep nutrition, another for dry hair… But in most cases, only one oil is put in the spotlight. Why settle for just one, when the real magic happens by combining different oils and creating powerful hair elixirs?

At Hairborist, we decided to do exactly that by blending the very best oils to create the ultimate professional hair oil treatments: Repair and Renovator.

Both are crafted with the highest quality, ultra-concentrated natural oils for hair, delivering truly spectacular results. (There’s a reason they’re used in professional hair salons!)

Renovator: Rich, enveloping, and perfect for normal to thick hair. Its formula includes olive, safflower, and argan oil, delicately scented with essential oils. It repairs and nourishes the hair while providing a unique moment of well-being.
Repair: Lighter and more fluid in texture, making it the ideal choice for fine hair or hair that tends to get oily quickly. With macadamia, argan, jojoba, and wheat germ oil, it soothes scalp imbalances while deeply hydrating the hair.

Pro tip: Each Hairborist natural hair oil contains a food-grade emulsifier that makes rinsing quick and easy, the perfect solution for both at-home and professional use.

Personalize your natural hair oil: the ultimate haircare hack!

But that’s not all! Our two professional hair oil treatments have another trick up their sleeve: they’re fully customizable!

Yes, by combining vegetable oils with essential oils, you can create highly targeted and even more effective treatments. That’s the concept behind our essential oil synergies, each designed to address specific scalp and hair concerns.

With them, you can create the perfect personalized hair oil bath, adapted to any need. Some of the options include:

Nutritrif : a deeply hydrating complex that helps combat dry hair, split ends, and damaged tips.
Balans : a regulating complex for oily scalps, controlling excess sebum naturally.
Deskwam : an antiseptic blend that supports scalps suffering from dandruff or abnormal skin flaking.
Dermosweet : a soothing complex for itchy, irritated scalps, and for conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis.
Caliviten : an anti-hair loss complex that stimulates the hair bulb and helps preserve hair density.
Plantapoux : a purifying synergy that eliminates lice in a 100% natural and safe way.
Nacre : a natural anti-yellowing complex for light-colored hair (blonde, gray, or white), correcting unwanted tones. It’s the natural, more effective alternative to purple shampoo.

Simply add a few drops of these essential oil blends to your chosen vegetable oil to boost its power and give it a precise, targeted action.

Natural hair oil: a versatile beauty product

Did you know that natural hair oil can be used in different ways? Here are our 3 expert recommendations.

1. The hair oil bath

This is the most well-known way of applying vegetable oils, and for good reason: applied to dry hair before shampoo, it allows the active ingredients to penetrate deeply into the hair fiber and revitalize it for the long term. The results are simply incomparable to conventional masks used on wet hair: application after application, your hair regains strength and softness without being weighed down. Blow-drying even becomes easier. Once you try a hair oil bath, you’ll never go back!

In hair salons, this oil treatment is nothing short of revolutionary. Not only is it highly effective, but it also transforms shampoo time into a real moment of well-being. Oils work on the hair, but also bring relaxation benefits for the mind. The texture of the oil is perfect for a scalp massage, offering a custom-made ritual of beauty and relaxation that everyone loves.

2. As a daily leave-in care

If your lengths and ends are dry, just warm a few drops of natural hair oil between your hands and apply evenly after styling. It acts like a serum, giving your hair hydration and suppleness throughout the day. Be careful not to use too much, as it may leave an oily finish.

Essential oils delicately perfume your hair while uplifting your mood. The result: dream hair that shines beautifully and a feeling of well-being that lasts all day.

3. As a beard oil

Men can also benefit from vegetable oils: they are perfect for beard care! A great way to share your beauty products with your father, partner, or son. Place 3–4 drops of oil in your hands, warm it up, then apply it to the beard with downward strokes, from roots to tips. Massage gently to ensure even distribution.

You can then brush your beard with a comb to shape and discipline it. The oil nourishes and softens beard hair, often dry and coarse, leaving it healthy and smooth.
