Professional hair oil - rating of the best products

Just a few centuries ago, the pride of a Russian beauty was a healthy, lush, long, well-groomed braid. At first glance, little has changed since then - girls still pay great attention to their braids. However, the difference between modern girls and their distant ancestors is enormous: in the old days, girls only had to wash their hair in the river and braid it in a tight braid, and she became the first beauty.

A modern girl needs to spend more than one hour in the salon.to give the curls an attractive look, and then also choose the tactics of high-quality care for them. Every day, girls' strands are subjected to simply unimaginable loads: staining with caustic paints, drying with a hot hairdryer, styling with stylers and curling irons, fixing them with varnishes, mousses and foams - all this spoils the hairstyle, turns it into a lifeless sponge. Fortunately, in modern cosmetic stores, powerful and high-quality professional products are available that can facilitate hair care and restore its beautiful appearance.

Any hair oil, whether professional or not, is a product designed to improve the appearance of a hairstyle. No matter what the manufacturers write on the labels, no matter what they promise in their advertising, this cosmetology product by itself is not able to cure damaged hair, restore it, make it thicker or improve its structure.

Hair oils are a great way to keep your curls healthy. These products do not penetrate the hair structure, they only envelop them, but this is enough to significantly reduce the section of the ends.At the initial stage of cutting the hair, its structure is disturbed, bristles are split off on the hairs, which, over time, will more and more detach from the hair and destroy it into several parts. The oils envelop each hair and smooth the bristles. The same process leads to the fact that the hair becomes dull and brittle, but this type of cosmetics gives shine to the curls.

A good quality oil will help increase the gap between your haircuts. If you start using the oil right after a haircut, it will help to keep the cut “fresh” for a long time, thanks to which the next haircut may not be needed soon enough.

Among other things, such cosmetics are able to independently align slightly curly curls., eliminating the need for exposure to a hot styler. It is worth considering that oils make the hair noticeably heavier. Styling will look good, but on fine hair it may not be too voluminous. In addition, the active use of oils makes it necessary to wash the hair more often, since it becomes greasy much faster.

The number of professional oils for care today is unimaginably large, and new products continue to appear very actively. It is extremely difficult to compose any more or less adequate rating of the best of them, because in such a situation, what is relevant today may become completely inappropriate tomorrow. However, judging by the popularity of some products among professional hairdressers and the fact that their customers are trying to purchase these products, we can conclude that some brands will hold out in trend for some time.

The most popular among professionals are the products of the Estel Professional trademark. In its assortment there is an unimaginable variety of oils, but the special attention of the masters is attracted by the Curex line. The products of this line are not based on the usual silicones, but on their successor - siloxane. This product of the chemical industry is much lighter in structure, is better accepted by the hair and is not addictive. The main oil in this line is argan. It is remarkably absorbed, has a light structure, envelops the hairs well, protects them from high temperatures. These oils also make the hair much easier to detangle and make it silky and soft to the touch. For a jar of such oil, you will have to pay from 1,500 to 3,000 rubles.

You can easily find L'Oreal Professional products in the salon. The collection of this brand includes about 15 types of professional hair oils. New this year is a shimmery oil. The product is based on a quality silicone base and a mixture of sesame, magnolia and almond oils. This product is especially loved by stylists for its reflective properties. This feature creates the feeling of a light shimmering glow of the hair.

Any haircut, styling, hairstyle after using such oil looks much more spectacular, lighter, more airy, which means that customers like it more. In addition, this product does not weigh down the hair at all and does not speed up hair pollution. This oil has good sun protection properties.Funds of this brand are patented and unique, and therefore quite expensive. For a bottle of L'Oreal Professional oil, you will have to pay about 1,500-2,000 rubles.

The products of the Londa professional trademark also enjoy good reviews from stylists. Cosmetics of this brand are somewhat cheaper, a bottle of oil will cost 600-1000 rubles. The quality of these products is high enough that is why they are recognized as professional. Experienced hairdressers call this year's trend an oil based on musk and velvet sandalwood bark. This oil protects hair better than others during styling, while not weighing down the hairstyle, giving it gloss and a silky feeling. This oil has a high absorption rate into the hair, which makes it especially convenient for home use.

Israeli cosmetics Moroccanoil is not very common in Russia. It is supplied by several distributors, however it is quickly becoming popular with professional craftsmen and joins the list of popular products of this type. Products of this brand are excellent for hair dyeing. Craftsmen add this oil to the paint, since the coloring with such a composition lasts longer on the hair, the colors look more saturated and bright.

This oil has its own pigment that gives the hair a subtle golden glow. It fits on hair of all shades and lasts all day long. Such a tool costs an average of 600 rubles, but there are also miniature bottles that are intended for travel. Such a bottle will cost approximately 200 rubles.

The closest thing to a professional product from the mass market is Pantin Pro-V vitamin E oil. It is considered to be "dry" because it has the lightest structure and after applying it, the hair practically does not need to be dried. Outwardly, the use of this tool is almost invisible, but it has very strong protective properties. This oil is excellent for use before creating complex, intricate hairstyles that require prolonged exposure to high temperatures. The cost of such a product will be about 300 rubles.

Despite the fact that there is a huge selection of professional oils and mass-market products in cosmetic stores, choosing a truly suitable product is very difficult. In order not to get lost in the huge mass of cosmetics and not to be mistaken with the choice, it is necessary to clearly see the "symptoms" that need to be eliminated, and to study the composition of the selected funds. Different oils work in different ways, so you need to be clearly aware of which one is needed.

Dry skin and dandruff often accompany each other. Hair with such problems is most often brittle, prone to sectioning. For such a problem, products containing flax oil are best suited. Products based on flaxseed oil are the most popular product on the hair care cosmetics market. This oil is considered to be universal and suitable for all hair types. Pharmaceutical flax oil is recommended even for advanced skin diseases such as seborrheic dermatitis.

Brittle hair damaged by a hot hairdryer and stylers, frequent dyeing, the use of varnishes, needs additional care. Products based on castor oil perfectly protect hair from harmful effects, add shine to hair that is dull due to dyeing or discoloration. Such products make it much easier to comb the hair, due to which the hair falls out less and is less traumatized.

Severely falling and sparse hair is often very difficult to grow back. In such a situation, funds are suitable, which contain a large amount of burdock oil. Such products are perhaps the only oily hair cosmetics for which it is not only acceptable, but also beneficial to get on the scalp.This oil stimulates blood flow and metabolism in the skin, which stimulates hair growth. Burdock is the best protection against weather manifestations, whether it be the scorching sun or the searing frost.

Hair oils are divided into two types: rinse-off, which comes in regular bottles, and leave-in, which is sold as a spray. Their effectiveness is the same, but the methods of application are different. Washable oil products are used as masks. Such products are applied to the hair, often warm, kept for some time and washed off. Applying washable oils is not a daily routine. Most often, only one application per week is needed. After using such a product, you must re-wash your hair with shampoo. Leave-in products are applied to dry or damp hair before styling. Such funds are used as needed, it is permissible to use them daily.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that oils should be applied exclusively to the hair. Once on the skin, they clog the pores and stop the air flow under the skin, thereby depleting the hair roots and leading to hair loss. It is important to apply the oil from about the middle of the hair and distribute it to the ends, as problems usually begin to arise somewhere in the center of the hair, and oils are needed to solve them. Do not apply oils too close to the root - their oily structure leads to spreading through the hair, so they will spread up the hair for a while.

Customer reviews of hair oils are very different: for some, these products turned out to be very good, but for someone they did not fit. Some brands have more positive reviews than others. So, for example, the products of the Estel trademark have much more positive reviews than the products of Pantin Pro-V, however, due to their low cost, the products of the latter have a large audience of consumers.

In general, this type of cosmetics, such as hair care oil, is in great demand and has many positive reviews. Moreover, it is believed that a good oil can replace hair lamination or botox. The use of oils can help grow long, healthy curls. This opinion is approved and confirmed by experienced hairdressers.
