Best Hair Oils for Different Hair Types
Fine, thick, curly or dry — match the oil weight to your hair so it nourishes without feeling heavy.
Light oils suit fine hair because they absorb quickly and do not flatten volume. Medium oils suit normal to wavy hair, while richer oils suit thick, curly or very dry hair.
Apply oil to mid-lengths and ends first, then work a small amount toward the roots only if your scalp feels dry. A little goes a long way — start with two to three drops.
Use oil as a pre-wash treatment, a finishing shine step, or an overnight mask. Wash with a gentle shampoo if any residue remains.
