Oils for Every Hair Type (Yes, for Fine Hair, Too)

Oils for Every Hair Type (Yes, for Fine Hair, Too)

via

We like to think of hair oils as one of those unsung heroes in the beauty world. They work hard at keeping our locks healthy and lovely, yet often take a backseat to more prominent beauty staples like lipstick and dry shampoo. We believe in spreading the love, especially when it comes to our hair, so we want to celebrate some of our favorite hair oils and the miracles they work on manes of all types!

Fine/Thin Hair: Kerastase Elixir Ultime Rose Millenaire

Fine-haired ladies are typically fiercely protective of each fragile strand of hair on their head ... and with good reason. You know all-too-well that the life of your locks can be fleeting as each of these little hairs is prone to breakage or death-by-hairbrush. Your fine hair is also no stranger to oil, as it naturally presents itself just a day or two after washing. That doesn't mean you should avoid oils altogether. Pump your strands with nourishment by adding this little elixir into the mix. Packed with antioxidant ingredients, its main purpose is to protect your hair and strengthen it without weighing it down.

Color-Treated Hair: Garnier Fructis Marvelous Oil Color Illuminate

As much as we love to experiment and switch up our hair color, the process can do quite a number on our strands, right? Hair dye is known to dry out hair and suck the moisture right out of each strand, leaving it looking "blah" -- that is, if you don't care for it accordingly. Keep your hair's moisture levels right where they need to be by enlisting the help of this "marvelous" oil. Designed specifically for color-treated hair it's natural oils help illuminate and protect your locks.
