No matter how thick or fine, curly or straight your hair is, there’s an oil out there to help with any (and all) of your mane concerns…But knowing how to choose the best oil for hair growth and general care can be confusing. This helpful guide will break down some different types to help you choose the right types of oils to nourish healthy hair.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is rich in carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals that are essential for good hair health and hair growth. It is ideal for all hair types, but particularly those with dry, damaged or dull hair. Coconut oil works well for those wishing to repair brittle hair and split ends, and is recommended for people with slow hair growth.

Argan Oil

Argan oil, also known as Moroccan oil, is rich in fatty acids, antioxidants and Vitamin E, that not only makes your hair look wonderful, but also gives it many protective qualities. It is ideal for dry, brittle, frizzy or coarse hair that is frequently styled and exposed to heat. Also ideal for people with hair that tends to get greasy.

Jojoba Oil

Pronounced ho-ho-ba, Jojoba oil is ideal for use in the hair, since it shares many characteristics with sebum, the oil our scalps naturally produce. Since it deeply penetrates the hair shaft and follicle, working from the inside out, jojoba oil is a great moisturizer and also prevents dandruff and dry scalp and makes hair soft and shiny.

Jojoba oil is ideal for dry, damaged or dull hair and those with dandruff and dry scalp issues.

Olive Oil

Olive oil, another extremely versatile oil, has protective and moisturizing properties. Olive oil is known to protect the hair against heat damage, impart a sleek look and shine, moisturize and give damaged and broken hair a healthy appearance.

Ideal for: Damaged, dull, dry or frizzy hair, as well as hair that is dandruff-prone.

Elan Hair Oil is enriched with coconut, jojoba and olive oils to help moisturize your hair, prevent and heal your hair problems act as well as increase luster, and shine in that 4a, 4b or 4c hair of yours. Give it a try.
