These substances are essential to the proper functioning of hair and scalp. A well-chosen oil will help your hair keep good condition and will make it beautiful and healthy.

Monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated hair oils
Do you know basic classification of oils? There are monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and saturated oils. Monounsaturated oils are characterized by good absorption and large amount of omega-9 acids. They are recommended for medium and high porosity hair which absorbs oils with large particles easily. The group includes such oils: plum seed, cherry, apricot, peach, sweet almond, avocado, macadamia, hazelnut, peanut, olive oil.
Polyunsaturated oils are rich in omega-6 linoleic acid and omega-9 alfa-linolenic acid. They are excellent for high porosity hair because they are made of large particles. The most popular polyunsaturated oils are: hemp, linseed, evening primrose, sunflower, pumpkin seed, soya, corn, cotton seed. Saturated oils are known as cosmetic butters. They have small particles, therefore they are recommended for low porosity hair. These include: coconut oil, palm oil, babassu oil, shea butter, mango butter and cocoa butter.
Oils for low, medium and high porosity hair
How to pick a hair oil? Determine your hair porosity which tells you about the condition of your hair cuticles. Low porosity hair is very healthy and smooth as well as hard to colour or clip. If this is your hair type, use saturated oils which are rich in omega-9 acids that have small particles or leave a protective layer on your hair. Choose between: coconut oil, babassu oil, shea butter, cocoa butter or cupuacu butter.
The cuticles of medium porosity hair are slightly raised. Such strands are easy to style as well as to damage. Use the following oils: argan, jojoba, macadamia, linseed, olive oil. Choose products which offer a balanced amount of omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 acids. High porosity hair is very damaged, weak and dry. Heat styling would decrease its condition, cause frizz and static. In order to improve its condition, use: grape seed oil, sweet almond oil, corn oil, poppy oil, green coffee oil.
Hair porosity test
Now, do a hair porosity test and choose the best oil for your hair. There are numerous methods to learn about the cuticles of your hair. However, water test is the most reliable. Put a hair in a glass of water. If it sinks to the bottom after a few minutes, your hair is high porosity. If it still floats after longer time, your hair is low porosity.
There are two more tests: observing your hair and touching it. The first one focuses on observing your hair during and after washing, during rain and hairstyling treatments. The other method is about running your fingers down the individual strands. If they get curly, they are high porosity. If they remain smooth, they are low porosity.
