Almond oil for hair

If the hair is overdried and have not the best appearance, then it's time to actively care for them. For this purpose, the use of almond oil is often recommended, and it is advised to use it to accelerate hair growth. Almond oil has been widely used in folk medicine, and on its basis make special masks.

Almond oil for hair care can be used both in pure form, and in a mixture with essential oils. But any mixture, whether prepared by you at home or bought at a pharmacy (store), you must first check on the elbows of the arm. Doing this is necessary to prevent undesirable consequences - some essential oils can cause allergies. If you are aware of the intolerance of any products, then it is not necessary to include them in the hair mask. For example, if there is an allergy to citrus fruits, then most likely the essential oil will cause the same reaction.

Dry hair

For dry hair, use a mixture of almond oil with essential oil of orange and ylang-ylang (1 tablespoon of almond oil, and 2 drops of each essential oil) or mandarin and sandal. This mixture is rubbed into damp hair after washing.

Greasy hair

For oily hair, the almond oil is mixed with essential oil of cedar and cypress or bergamot and lemon. The mixture is treated with hair from roots to tips before washing.

You can also apply a couple drops of almond oil or its mixture with essential oils on the comb and comb the hair 2-3 times a day. The main thing when using this approach is not to overdo it with the amount of oil, but instead of groomed hair, you risk getting stitched, dirty-looking hair. If the hair is mixed (the roots are oily and dry at the ends), then the almond oil can be used to care for the ends of the hair after washing, and the roots should be treated before it.

Masks
