If you've been wondering about avocado oil and how it works for your hair, you're in the right place! Avocados are all the rage in health, beauty, wellness, and nutrition. Fresh avocados are nutritional powerhouses, full of vitamins and nutrients, and the oil is no different. Let’s dive in!
Avocado oil comes from the flesh of the avocado, contrasting with many other popular skin and hair care oils that come from seeds. The fruit of the avocado is cold-pressed to create a luxurious and light oil. Avocado oil is used both for beauty purposes and cooking due to its high monounsaturated fat and oleic acid content, making it a standout choice in beauty and nutrition. Cold-pressed avocado oil is an excellent source of vitamins A, D, and E, as well as lecithin and potassium.
Now that you know how avocado oil is processed and what antioxidants and vitamins it contains, let's explore how avocado oil affects your hair.
Generally, oils are used to moisturize your hair and scalp, helping with growth, repairing damage, and providing many other great benefits.
Light and Non-Greasy: Avocado oil is lighter and less thick than other common hair care oils. This means you can apply it daily (or nightly) without too much buildup causing that dreaded super greasy look.
Deep Penetration: Avocado oil is a rich source of oleic acid and monounsaturated fats, giving it the ability to penetrate the hair shaft and provide much-needed hydration to dry and brittle hair, rather than just sitting on the surface.
Damage Protection: While this penetrating hydration won’t repair or undo major damage, it can help protect your hair and prevent further damage or breakage. By coating your hair and restoring some of its lost flexibility, avocado oil can prevent normal wear and tear from combing, brushing, and other environmental factors.
Scalp Health: The same fats that benefit your hair also make avocado oil an excellent choice for a dry or sensitive scalp. The oil penetrates the skin easily and can provide nourishing properties to the scalp, relieving symptoms of psoriasis and the appearance of dandruff. Keeping your scalp moisturized and healthy contributes to stronger, longer, and healthier hair.
UV Protection: Avocado oil has a lot of vitamin E, which not only aids in protection and repair but also may reverse hair damage caused by UV rays.
Hair Growth: Avocado oil encourages healthy hair growth! It contains vitamin D, necessary for the creation of new hair follicles, helping stimulate new hair growth with continuous use.
Adding this nourishing oil to your hair care routine is sure to give you shining, healthy results.
