Benefit of Avocado oil

1. Reducing dandruff

Well-hydrated skin on the scalp can make hair appear healthier. If the skin is dry or flaky, massaging oil into the scalp before washing and conditioning hair may help.

Avocado oil used on the scalp could also help reduce the appearance of dandruff. Moisturising the skin using oils can help to prevent it from drying out and flaking.

2. Preventing breakage

The strands of the hair can break if they are dry and brittle. Coating the hair with a thin layer of oil can make it more flexible. This may help to prevent hair from breaking when a person brushes it or ties it up.

3. Detangling hair

Applying avocado oil to the ends of the hair may help to detangle it. Using the fingers, coat the ends of the hair in a small amount of oil for smoother brushing.

Using a wide-toothed comb, gently comb through tangles until the hair begins to unknot. A smaller toothed comb or hairbrush can then be used to continue brushing the hair.

4. Protecting hair from damage

Environmental damage, including pollution, sunlight, seawater, and chlorine can dry out a person’s hair shafts.

A person may find that applying oil to their hair can protect it from some effects of environmental damage

How to use Avocado oil on hair

Using avocado oil in the following ways may have benefits for a person’s hair:

Scalp massage

Moisturising the scalp by massaging oils into the base of the hair may help to treat a dry, flaky scalp. If done regularly, this could help to prevent dandruff.

How to massage the scalp:

• Warm a small amount of oil in a bowl, either in a jug of hot water or microwave, for just a few seconds.
• Gently separate the hair and apply a little oil to the scalp using the fingertips or a cotton ball.
• Massage oil into the affected areas of the scalp, using small, circular motions with the fingertips.

A person may wish to leave the oil on the scalp for a short while to absorb before rinsing out using their usual shampoo routine.
