The Science Behind The Oil Formula For Dry Hair

Harir Hair Oil was formulated to be the ultimate hair oil for dry hair. Each oil has a different molecular structure, which determines whether the oil will be best at penetrating the hair providing intense nourishment, or whether it will  be best at sealing the cuticle by sitting on top of the hair shaft acting as a humectant to lock in moisture and add shine to the cuticle.

Penetrate The Hair

Oils that are primarly made up of either saturated fats (smallest molecular structure) or mono-unsaturated fats (second smallest molecular structure) have a smaller and more compact molecular structure, and will be better at penetrating the hair

Seal The Cuticle

Oils that are primarly made up of polyunsaturated fats do not have a small enough molecular structure to be able to penetrate the hair - instead they will sit on top of the cuticle and lock in the moisture

Penetrate the hair and seal the cuticle

Oils that are primarly made up of mono-unsaturated fats will be small enough in molecular structure to penetrate the hair, but they also have the ability to  sit on top of the cuticle and seal  the moisture due to the slightly bigger molecular structure than saturated fat

Avocado oil

Made up of approximately 70% mono-unsaturated fats, mainly Oleic acid -well known for it’s ability to both penetrate the hair follicle adding nourishment,  as well as seal the cuticle locking in moisture to each strand. Avocado oil  contains biotin, and minerals such as magnesium and potassium which aid follicle health. It also contains Vitamin A, which is known for moisturising the hair, preventing breakage and strengthening hair,  Vitamin B-5 which both attracts and retains moisture in the hair, and Vitamin E known for its anti-oxidant properties which support the scalp to grow healthy hair by reducing oxidative stress, and it's ability to enhance blood flow to the scalp increasing the absorption of nutrients to the hair follicle.

Avocado oil, a key ingredient in the blend, renowned for its well-rounded ability to not only penetrate and seal the hair, provides one of the largest amounts of additional nutrients found in a single natural oil. Damaged hair is protected and nourished by the intensive oil treatment, resulting in hair that feels soft and hydrated

Castor Oil

Made up of  94% monounsaturated fats, mainly ricinoleic acid, which acts as both a moisturiser and a humectant able to lock in moisture.  Also rich in Vitamin E, anti-inflamamatory, anti-oxidant properties, it reduces scalp inflammation and also protects the scalp from damage caused by free radicals that may harm hair growth. It supports scalp health and hair growth, while containing amino acids, helping to support stronger, softer hair.

Black Seed Oil

Made up of  60% polyunsaturated fats, mainly linoleic acid which is known to protect the scalp, and seal the hair to control moisture loss. It contains approximately 24% mono-unsaturated fat, nourishing the hair by penetrating the hair follicles as well as sealing the strands. It contains 8 of the 9 essential amino acids that are combined to make “whole” protein, essential for hair health. Black seed oil also contains  iron, essential for supplying sufficient oxygen to the follicle to promote growth and hair health, as well as zinc, responsible for hair tissue growth

Harir Hair Oil is a carefully selected combination of natural hair oils chosen for their combined ability to penetrate the hair and seal the cuticle, complimented with additional minerals and vitamins to support the fatty acids to nourish the hair from within, or seal and protect the hair and scalp from moisture loss
