Restore Hair Health with Grapeseed Oil

If your hair has been lackluster lately and has weak strands, one of the oils to look into is grapeseed oil. The good news about grapeseed oil is it can be used on all hair types. Grapeseed oil is derived from grape seeds used to make wine.

Grapeseed oil contains significant amounts of vitamin E & F, minerals, proteins, lipids and carbohydrates. Grapeseed oil is also full of procyanidolic oligomers (PCO’s), which outweighs the benefits of vitamin C & E.

 6 Distinct Benefits of Grapeseed Oil for Hair

1. Grapeseed oil is lighter than most oils, which allows it to be absorbed into the hair cuticle without weighing down your hair, an excellent choice if you have fine hair.
2. It makes an excellent scalp massage oil mixed with essentials oils like lavender and ylang ylang. It’s easily absorbed and nourishes the scalp.
3. It can reduce/eliminate dandruff problems.
4. Used as a hot oil treatment, grapeseed oil can make hair shiny, smoothen cuticles and reduce brittleness.
5. It can be mixed in with your regular deep conditioning treatments, which leads to strong hair.
6. It can be used as a heat protectant prior to blow drying or flat ironing.
