The health effect of Linseed Oil is well known to everyone who is not a stranger to healthy eating. However, only few people know that Linseed Oil has valuable cosmetic properties and in regard to hair care, it is compared to Argan Oil, Macadamia Oil, Sunflower Oil, Corn Oil or Coconut Oil.
First of all, Linseed oil is valued for the excellent balance of polyunsaturated fatty acids, which in this case is 3: 1, cosmetologists and nutritional experts believe that these are the best proportions for the human body. Thanks to Flaxseed Oil, the body and hair gain the right amount of nutrients – balanced to bring the cells maximum support and regeneration. In the case of dry, damaged, high porosity hair, this feature seems to be of primary importance.
Linseed Oil – components, effects on hair
– omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are ideal for the treatment of damaged, dry hair of high porosity
-high concentration of vitamin E, works as a comprehensive anti-ageing prevention: it strengthens the bulbs, slows graying of the hair and inhibits hair loss.
– regenerates and restores damaged hair structures
– improves the condition of the scalp, soothes irritations and moisturises the epidermis
– creates an occlusive layer on the hair surface to prevent water loss from within
Hair oiling is the best method for regeneration. Natural oils should stay permanently in the bathroom especially of those women who have extremely damaged hair, difficult to regenerate. Linseed Oil is ideal for moisturising exceptionally dry strands that lack vitality. However, you must be aware that it is not the only oil, which enhances regeneration and improves the look of the hair. The best solution is to combine several different oils to create complex hair care and provide hair with a variety of essential minerals, vitamins, phytosterols, as well as nourish and balance scalp’s sebum with a valuable squalene (found in Jojoba Oil).
It is also important to note that Linseed Oil is not suitable for all types of hair – it works best for extremely weak and damaged, but (unfortunately) can overburden medium and low porosity. That is why matching the right oil to a particular type of hair so important. It is best to rely on experts and professionals to choose a well-balanced blend of essential oils to suit your hair type and structure. An oil that perfect fits to the porosity of hair – is Nanoil Hair Oil. This product is available in 3 versions. Each of which nourishes, regenerates (and even boosts hair growth and inhibits its loss) hair of a different structure. This ensures that the Nanoil version for low porosity hair will not overburden thick and heavy strands, but provide gentle care and gently lift the roots to be healthy, full of volume and lightness.
If you want to provide the highest level of care, determine the condition of your hair and apply one of the three Nanoil Hair Oils. Each version contains various high quality natural oils, perfectly selected and composed in the best proportions. Their action is supported by a number of hair care regenerating agents. As a result, Nanoil Hair Oil not only radically enhances the hair, but also deeply regenerates and repairs the scalp and especially the most important part of the hair: its bulbs. Nanoil not only prevents hair loss but also speeds up its growth by providing extreme makeover in just 30 days.
Another interesting and unusual version of the Linseed Oil is the L’Oreal product. L’Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary Oil-In-Cream comes in a plastic tube and due to the consistency it resembles a conditioner rather than an oil. However, its effect is based on the power of natural oils. L’Oreal Extraordinary Oil has a capacity of 150 ml and contains Coconut oil, Chamomile, Sunflower, Rose, Lotus flower and Tahitian Gardenia. Such variety of natural oils makes the oil in cream from L’Oreal a great supplement to traditional hair oiling. Oil-In-Cream can be applied to both wet and dry hair, but the last method can slightly overburden the strands. Extraordinary Oil-In-Cream is best absorbed into damp strands, applied instead of the traditional hair conditioner. Unfortunately, it cannot be applied to the scalp, as the silicone and alcohol content have comedogenic effects. It will work best on damaged hair or used only on the ends.
Linseed oil also appears in the Kativa hair product. It is not the only natural oil that has been sealed in a 60 ml plastic bottle. Kativa 4 Oils contains three natural oils (Linseed, Argan and Sesame) and synthetic oil, which is responsible for the brilliance of the hair. Hydrolyzed keratin is supposed to repair cavities on the surface of the hair. Kativa is unfortunate unsuitable to apply to the scalp, but it tames unruly strands and softens them. Kativa 4 Oils Hair Oil is not equipped with a pump or any other dispenser, so dosing the proper amount can be troublesome. Nevertheless, the consistency makes Kativa oil distribute well on the hair. Another attractive thing in the 4 Oils product is its fragrance: fresh and fruity, long lasting on the hair.
