Hair oils, not to be confused with oily scalp (and greasy hair), are exactly what’s missing in your haircare routine. Despite being called “oils”, these winning formulas don’t leave a greasy feeling in your hair and scalp. In fact, they help repair stressed locks from within, healing split ends, and providing moisture and shine where it’s needed most. If you need a catchall for your hair concerns, try using a hair oil once a week (on either wet or dry hair), and feel the difference.
