Next on our list is another versatile oil. I am talking about almond oil. Let's dive right into what this oil has to offer to our tresses.
Pros
- It is a rich source of biotin and therefore helps to keep our nails and hair healthy. 1
- Can provide protection from sun damage because of its natural SPF of 5.
- Has antibacterial and fungicidal properties and can therefore be used as a scalp treatment.
- Hydrates the scalp as it easily soaks into the skin.
- Helps smooth frizz by applying to the ends of hair before drying.
- It is an emollient and therefore softens the hair. 2
Cons
- Could be a potential risk to those who suffer from severe nut allergies. Consult your physician if in doubt.
- Do not use the oil before heat styling as it can heat up around the hair follicle and cause burns on the scalp or the hair follicle. 2
