5. Conditioning oils

Although the conditioners we talked about before are very effective, it is likely that somewhere you want something faster. In that case, the best alternative is natural oils.

These penetrate the surface of the scalp and help repair existing damage and prevent new problems, in addition, they provide softness and shine. The most effective oils are:

Avocado oil

It is an excellent conditioner since its fatty acids and vitamin E facilitate growth and increase hair shine.

• Ideally, apply the avocado oil warm or hot (without burning).
• Let it act for 30 minutes and rinse or leave it to act overnight and wash the next day.

 Olive oil

Olive oil is a great emollient and acts much better on hair than other oils. When we use hot olive oil, its ability to improve hair texture and quality is greatly increased.

• Use a tablespoon of warm olive oil to massage your hair.
• Cover with a shower cap or plastic bag.
• Wait 40 minutes and rinse with warm water and shampoo.

There is no excuse for living with a neglected or battered mane. The reality is that with very little money and some time we can improve the texture and quality of our hair.

We just have to remember to be patient. Just as the hair took time to reach the damaged state in which we have it, we will also need time to regain its healthy appearance.

We can use one of these conditioners twice a month, although you can choose to do it more often if the damage is extreme.
