Achieving smooth and shiny hair is not as hard as you may think if you use the right hair care products. Besides the basic hair care like shampoo and conditioner, you can add hair oil in your hair care routine to nourish your strands and make them look healthier and shinier. Hair oil can be applied on wet hair or dry hair – applying on wet hair after shampooing and before blowdrying will help in detangling and heat protection; or you can also apply on dry hair to tame the frizz and add more shine.
A good hair oil not only comes with high-quality ingredients that will promotes healthy hair growth, but also a fine texture which is lightweight and non-greasy so that it won’t leave your hair feel sticky and weighed down.
Over the past few months, we have been trying out different hair oils from both affordable and luxury brands, to see which one met our expectations and more to our liking. Out of all the hair oils that we tried, we’ve picked our top 5 favourites to share with you!
