Apply Almond Oil to Hair

Almond oil contains all kinds of healthy ingredients for hair like Omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, vitamin E and magnesium. Using almond oil nourishes and strengthens your hair, and is optimal for treating hair loss and damaged hair. A few drops go a long way to add silkiness and shine & nourish the scalp. Use pure almond oil; most store brands contain only a small percentage of almond oil and a large proportion of petroleum paraffins.

Steps

Wet Hair

  1. Get your hair wet and comb it. Almond oil absorbs most readily into wet hair. Use a comb to brush out the tangles before you apply your almond oil conditioning treatment.
  2. Rub oil into your scalp. Place a small amount of almond oil in your palm, and apply it to your scalp around your roots. Use your fingers to gently massage the oil into your scalp. This will help stimulate new hair growth, condition your roots, and protect your hair.
  3. Use a comb to disperse the oil. Comb it from your roots to the tips of your hair. Make sure all of your hair gets coated with a small amount of oil.
  4. Cover your hair. Put on a shower cap and let the oil absorb into your scalp and hair for about an hour. If you have time, leave it on overnight.
  5. Shampoo your hair. Use shampoo to wash the oil from your hair. If you rinse without shampooing, it'll leave your hair looking oily. Use shampoo only once.
  6. Rinse your hair. Rinse out the shampoo and pat your hair with a towel. When it dries, your hair will look silky and shiny.
  7. Do this once a week. It will make your hair strong, smooth and soft. Massaging your scalp will help foster new hair growth over time.

Dry Hair

  1. Comb your hair. Start with dry hair that you've combed until it's sleek. Almond oil is particularly good for thick, dry hair or hair that has been damaged by the sun or dyes. It also helps define curls.
  2. Rub a few drops of almond oil in your palms. Just a few drops, less than half a teaspoon of almond oil, should be enough to coat your hair. You don't want to go overboard, or your hair will end up looking oily for the rest of the day.
  3. Run your fingers through your hair. Start about halfway down your hair shaft, and run your fingers through to the tips. Coating the bottom half of your hair with almond oil will tame flyaways and frizz and give your hair a sleeker look.
    • Start apply it too close to your roots, or your hair will look oily.
  4. Style your hair as usual. Now that you've given your hair an almond oil treatment, style it any way you choose. Apply more almond oil throughout the day as necessary.
  5. Apply it to the tips whenever you want. Using almond oil is a great way to protect your hair from dryness and split ends. Put a few drops on your fingers and apply the oil to the very tips of your hair a few times a day to keep your hair strong and beautiful.

Tips

  • Use regularly as a natural treatment
  • Eating a few almonds everyday, in your cereal, a mid-day snack, or in a salad helps hair health.
  • Try making a moisture mask using 2 tbs organic almond oil, 1tbs extra virgin olive oil, 1tbs raw honey to lock in moisture and mend split ends and two drops of pure tea tree oil to stimulate hair growth and sooth scalp. Allow it to sit 30 mins in a cap or wrapped in a towel to keep it from dripping. Works best on towel dried hair and your should double mixture for long hair.
  • Don't over do the oil. This way, you will have to use more shampoo to remove it. You may strip your scalp of the natural oils it produces.
