Description
The oil will, of course, be ideal for high-porosity hair, which inherently lacks smoothness and shine, but not only.
What is this oil and how does it work on hair?
Although commonly referred to as broccoli oil, this oil is made from cold-pressing only the seeds and not the whole broccoli plant. Nevertheless, it can have a slightly greenish colour and a delicate aroma of this vegetable. Its amazing properties are due to its specific chemical structure. First of all, broccoli oil contains a large amount of monounsaturated erucic acid from the omega-9 group. Hair is therefore shinier, more slippery and smoother, just like silicones.
Who is it best for?
Of course, it’s perfect for highly porous hair, which is naturally lacking in smoothness and shine, but it’s not the only one. It works just as well on medium-porous hair. On medium-porous hair, this smoothing film will also have a positive effect and only those with low-porous hair will be unhappy with it. Here, the film left by the oil can be too heavy and make the hair look dull and lifeless. Blondes also need to be wary of this oil as it has quite a dark, greenish colour!
Not just for hair!
Broccoli oil is also great for mature skin or skin exposed to air pollution. We can also use it for the body, hands, as well as particularly dry areas: elbows, knees or nail cuticles.
Unrefined, cold-pressed oil. Glass bottle with pipette. Best stored in the fridge.
How to use it?
The properties that make broccoli oil similar to silicones make it ideal for protecting the ends and for use after or between washes to smooth and protect the hair. So we can spread a minimal amount of it (2-3 drops) evenly on still damp or already completely dry hair, but not only. Broccoli oil can be added to conditioners or masks that don’t add enough weight to your hair, but it can also be used for traditional oiling. The latter will be particularly appreciated by hair with high porosity.
