Hair Oils

Choosing the right hair oil for your hair

Start with how your hair feels and the result you want:

• Dry or damaged hair: a repair oil helps rough, brittle ends feel softer and look smoother. Our range includes K18 Molecular Repair Oil, Kobo PeptidePro Repair Hair Oil and L'Oréal Professionnel Absolut Repair Oil, plus Kobo Bond Builder Damage Control Oil for hair that's been through regular colour or heat styling.
• Frizzy hair: a hair oil for frizzy hair helps lengths sit smoother and look more polished. Try Alfaparf Semi Di Lino Smooth Smoothing Oil or Wella Oil Reflections Luminous Smoothening Treatment Oil.
• Blonde and lightened hair: oils made for blondes, such as Schwarzkopf BLONDME Deep Repair Oil and Joico Blonde Life Brilliant Glow Brightening Oil, help care for hair after lightening.
• Curly hair: a hair oil for curly hair like Alfaparf Semi Di Lino Curls Multi-Benefit Oil is made with curls and waves in mind.
• Fine hair: choose a lighter oil and use it sparingly on the mid-lengths and ends so your hair doesn't feel weighed down.

How to use hair oil

Most hair oils can be used two ways. On damp hair, work a few drops through the mid-lengths and ends before blow-drying to help it dry smoother and shinier. Some oils are made with heat in mind, such as De Lorenzo Defence Thermal Argan Oil. On dry hair, warm a drop between your palms and smooth it over the ends or any flyaways for a glossy finish.

Start with less than you think you need and add more if your hair still feels dry. Longer, thicker or coarser hair usually takes a little more; fine hair needs very little. For salons, a good hair oil is a handy finishing step after colour, treatment and blow-dry services.

Argan oil, oil serums and treatment oils

If you're shopping for argan oil for hair, our range includes Nook Magic Argan Oil Absolute Oil, De Lorenzo Defence Thermal Argan Oil, RPR My Argan Plus Smart Oil Leave-In Treatment and 12 Reasons Argan Oil Serum. You'll also find oils built around other ingredients, such as 12 Reasons Marula Oil Serum and Natural Look Colour Art Kakadu Oil Treatment.

Hair oils and hair serums overlap, and some formulas span both, which is why oil serums like 12 Reasons Argan Oil Serum and Schwarzkopf Session Label The Serum Finishing Oil sit in both collections. If your hair needs a deeper weekly treatment rather than a finishing touch, pair your oil with one of our hair masks. Explore the range and find your go-to hair oil at glamaCo, online or in-store.
