Luxury hair oils: shine without unnecessary weight
Hair oil can be a formulated blend
The word oil does not always mean a product contains only botanical oil. Formulated blends may combine ingredient families to alter glide, finish and distribution. Read the composition and directions to distinguish a pre-shampoo treatment from a finishing product intended to remain on the lengths after the washing routine is complete.
Adjusting quantity to area and timing
Ends, lengths and roots do not necessarily call for the same amount. Start with the specified dose and assess the result once hair is styled. Desired shine can turn into heaviness as layers accumulate; compatibility with heated styling tools must be explicitly stated rather than inferred simply from an oily texture.
