Guide to the best hair oils

We like Dr Organic Pure Moroccan Argan Oil 50ml which contains 100% cold-pressed argan oil, meaning none of the moisturising properties are lost in its manufacture. Argan oil contains eight essential fatty acids and vitamin E.

How to make an argan oil mask

With sun and air-dried ingredients, the Fushi Fresh-Pressed Organic Black Cumin Seed Oil is hand-blended with love and intention in their London workshop.

You can apply black seed oil directly to your skin or hair or mix it with a carrier oil like argan or avocado oil for a more balanced application. You can also incorporate it into massage oils, shampoos, or your homemade skincare creations.

As well as classic coconut oil like our H&B one, a product like Fushi Really Good Hair Oil contains a blend of coconut, argan and avocado oil which will nourish all hair types, without weighing it down. Coconut oil is rich in medium-chain fatty acids and can be used on hair damaged due to excessive styling or bleaching.

How much coconut oil you should use depends on your goals. Some people rub a little coconut oil in their scalp before bed and leave it in overnight before washing it off. Others use coconut oil as a hair mask. That means leaving it in for a few hours and then rinsing later.

It’s important to remember that everyone’s hair is different. As a word of advice, using too much coconut oil can sometimes have the opposite and clog your hair follicles or give your hair a greasy appearance. 

This Hemp Oil Rescue & Restore Hair & Scalp Treatment from Dr Organic blends hemp oil and hibiscus into a mousse-like treatment. It’s a super simple way to add hemp oil to your hair routine without having to dilute or mix it yourself.

For the Hemp Oil Rescue & Restore Hair & Scalp Treatment, shake well before use, apply 2-5 pumps and gently massage into scalp before working it through the hair. Brush or comb hair from roots to tips, dry and style as desired.

For hemp oil, focus on applying hemp oil directly to the areas that are dry or damaged and need a little TLC. You can do this on dry hair as part of your everyday routine, or on wet hair after washing, before you move on to styling.

H&B’s very own cold-pressed Organic Castor Oil; which is high in vitamin E and contains omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids. Hydrating for dry skin and hair, it’s hexane-free and suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Apply the oil sparingly, warming it between your palms before massaging it into your scalp for 5-10 minutes, and leave it in for at least an hour or overnight if possible. Afterwards, wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner, double cleansing if necessary, and use a clarifying shampoo regularly to prevent oil build-up.

A perfectly diluted solution for those wanting to add rosemary to their routine.

This rosemary oil is expertly pre-diluted with almond and sunflower oils to an ideal ratio, ensuring that you reap all the benefits without any hassle. Apply a small amount throughout damp or dry hair and style as usual. 

We love Nature Spell's Moringa Oil, an age-old beauty favourite, designed to hydrate, protect, and shine. Say goodbye to frizzy, lifeless hair, as moringa leaves your mane with a lustrous sheen.

To apply the Nature's Spell moringa oil to hair, start by massaging a few drops into your scalp with your fingertips, whether your hair is dry or damp, then distribute it through the length of your hair, especially focusing on the ends. For best results, leave the oil in for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight by wrapping your hair in a towel or using a shower cap, before washing it out thoroughly with your usual shampoo. Additionally, you can use the oil as a styling aid by applying a small amount to your hair to tame frizz and add shine.

For skin, dispense a few drops of the pre-diluted oil onto clean hands and gently massage it into your face, neck, or any desired area using circular motions until fully absorbed.
