Pistachio oil is part of Using Ceramides in Natural Oils for Moisturised & Healthy Hair series with a ceramide concentration of 32.7%.

Pistachio oil is not popular in hair care most likely due to its prohibitive cost.

What is Pistachio Oil?

Pistachio oil is extracted from the fruit of the pistachio nut, which is aka Pistacia vera.

The pistachio nut is a member of the cashew family and originated from Asia and the Middle East.

How to Strengthen Hair with Pistachio Oil

Today, the pistachio nut is grown widely in Iran, US, Turkey, and China. The pistachio nut is one of the most common nuts in the world.

It is a popular ingredient in Middle Eastern deserts while pistachio oil is bright green with a strong and distinctive flavour.

Is Pistachio Oil Good for You?

Pistachio oil has a high vitamin E content with low levels of saturated fat, high levels of monounsaturated fatty acid and some amount of linoleic fatty acid.

It is a heart-healthy oil that helps lower bad cholesterol. It’s one of the recommended cooking oils for the ketogenic diet. Pistachio oil is more stable than walnut oil. 

How is Pistachio Oil Made?

4 Benefits of Pistachio Oil for Hair

1. Healthy Amount of Ceramides

Pistachio oil is a ceramide oil with a 32.7% concentration. Ceramides help keep the scales on hair in place and prevent hair from drying out and breaking.

2. Vitamin E

Pistachio oil has a high amount of vitamin E. Vitamin E softens hair, promotes elasticity and enhances the quality and texture of hair.

These properties battle hair loss and promote stronger hair growth. 

4. Excellent Emollient

The combination of ceramides, essential fatty acids, and vitamin E make pistachio oil an excellent emollient oil for smoothening the hair and giving a sleek look.
