Rediscover the Natural Beauty of Healthy Hair with A Really Good Hair Oil

We all love to have a good hair day. Hair forms part of our image and quite often it is linked to our personality traits. It may all sound pretty superficial. Yet, for many natural health practitioners, hair is a go-to area for investigating the health of your body. Hair fall, hair breakage, and textural changes are some of the major pointers towards how nutritionally balanced a person is, or not as the case may be. 

Hair issues such as these may also be a result of hormonal imbalances or problems with the thyroid, the list goes on. However, don’t fret, there is some good news – good hair health can be achieved with great natural hair care products too. In this article, we go into the wonders of ‘Really Good Hair Oil’ and what its fantastic botanical extracts, vitamins and minerals can offer in terms of getting those dreamy locks.

Common hair woes include hair thinning, dryness, breakage, and frizziness, but what’s the culprit? Earlier, we introduced hair as a diagnostic tool in natural health practices. Allow us to explain:

Nutritional factors impacting hair health

Missing out on essential vitamins and minerals may be the issue. Nutritional intake of adequate protein, vitamins A, C, D, E, and B-vitamins (B12 AND biotin B7), as well as minerals including iron, selenium and zinc can make the perfect recipe for healthy hair.

Environmental changes: The classic rainy day…

While it might seem obvious that wet, dry, hot and cold climates can affect your hair for the better (or for the worse), it isn’t always that simple. Environmental factors such as stress and lifestyle can also impact hair health, potentially worsening genetic hair loss. 

Chemical intruders make for bad hair days

It could be that the secret is in your hair products. Popular brands which are not focused around natural ingredients may contain hair 'no list' items such as sulphates, parabens and silicones – all of which can strip the hair and cause irritation of the scalp, due to an excessive loss of natural oils. These ingredients can also lead to long-term hair damage.

Treated, coloured or bleached hair: 

Chemicals are also in your hair treatments; if you dye, bleach or change the texture of your hair you are exposing it to chemicals. You can opt for hair treatments with minimal chemical components, but it's likely the hair will still undergo some damage in the process. To counteract this, the hair will need extra moisture and the required vitamins and minerals to maintain its health. But don’t lose hope—there's a natural remedy that can address these concerns.

Genetics: DNA dictates your hair structure

Other issues could include inherited tendencies for hair issues. Hair health and genetics are connected very deeply, from hereditary factors that influence hair loss to those affecting our hair on a structural or chemical level.

Genetics and hair loss: 

A very common type of hair loss linked to genetics is known as androgenetic alopecia, also known as male or female pattern baldness. This condition is linked to genetic variations, particularly the AR gene, which affects hair follicle sensitivity to hormones like dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

The power of 'Fresh-Ground' Brahmi & Neem: Traditional Ayurvedic secrets for luscious hair

Unique and hair-benefiting botanicals such as Brahmi and Neem take centre stage. Brahmi is a potent hair follicle stimulator, accompanying Neem, a hair-nourishing ancient herb. It's a duo that can help to revive those tired follicles and provide simple, natural and effective solutions to hair thinning. They are both plants that have been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

Accompanying Brahmi and Neem are other potent botanical extracts:

Argan oil:  This oil is moisturising and healing to the hair, it is also known to prevent hair from oxidative damage.

Avocado oil:  Avocados are great for your health, inside and out. They’re packed with vitamins and fatty acids to promote growth and a glossy texture.

Coconut oil:  Deep conditioning and antimicrobial, coconut oil has been proven to improve the scalp microbiome in studies.

Sweet Almond oil:  An ancient hair care favourite, this oil softens and nourishes hair strands and the scalp.

Sesame oil: Sesame oil is rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids which promote both scalp health and hair growth. Sesame oil is an emollient, meaning it can help to soften your skin.

1. Go ammonia-free: If you dye your hair, find a no-ammonia alternative to improve the health of hair roots. Try to find the best quality natural dyes and use them where possible.

1. Let hair air dry when you can: It reduces damaging heat exposure.

1. Change the positioning of your parting: Do this every few years or so, it may help to encourage healthy hair growth by changing the direction the hair is used to growing in.

1. Give the dry shampoo a break: Dry shampoo can dry out your hair if used too often. Many brands also use an excessive amount of synthetic fragrances in these products which are damaging to our health and the health of our hair.

1. Finish the day with Really Good Hair Oil: This product is best used overnight to be fully absorbed. Firstly, massage the oil into your scalp and use a hair wrap if needed, to protect your bedding. It is then recommended to wash off the treatment the next morning. If you are short on time, you can also do a two-hour treatment, simply use a hair wrap to retain the moisture and wash off when the two hours have passed.

Essential nutrients for the best hair health

We’re excited for the release of the new book The Natural Supplement and Nutrition Guide: For Every Stage of Life by Henrietta Norton (Founder of Wild Nutrition), explaining the importance of a nutritionally-dense diet for the health of our hair and skin. A healthy diet, with the intake of all the essential nutrients, is very important for normal hair growth. Women who are experiencing hair loss or signs of unhealthy hair should include in their diet food rich in:

•  B Vitamins (including Biotin) : whole grains (e.g., brown rice, barley, millet), eggs

•  Iron : red meat (e.g., beef, lamb), spinach, broccoli

•  Zinc : shellfish (e.g., oysters, crab), legumes (e.g., chickpeas, lentils)

•  Omega-3 fatty acids : fatty fish (e.g., salmon, mackerel), flaxseeds

Supplements should be recommended where there are deficiencies.

It’s best to use the product 24 hours after colouring.

If you are going out, you can use it sparingly after washing to avoid hair getting too greasy. For overnight or more intensive usage, it is recommended to wash the oil out afterwards to avoid oil build up.

Regular use of the hair oil combined with a soothing scalp massage will encourage blood flow to the hair follicles and promote lymph drainage

Q) How much product is recommended for my hair type?

Depending on your hair length and thickness, you can adjust the amount of product you apply to suit you. Additionally, it's important to consider that over time, hair that was once dry may become less porous and require less product for treatment.

Q) How frequently should I use Really Good Hair Oil?

Use for ongoing maintenance and use for repairing damaged hair, will differ. For damaged hair, more frequent treatments will be required until the hair regains strength and shine. For maintenance use, it is recommended to use this product around once every fortnight, or at a frequency you feel benefits your hair texture and hair length the most.
