Why vegetable oils are the best allies for restoring balance
Introduction: Natural, effective, and sustainable
Compared to hair products that are often too harsh, plant oils offer gentle, powerful solutions that are kind to the scalp. They provide a natural alternative for restoring balance, whether the problem is excess sebum, dryness, or itching. Their high content of fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants makes them essential allies in trichology.
The many virtues of vegetable oils
1. They deeply nourish
Vegetable oils are lipophilic: they penetrate the stratum corneum to nourish the skin from within, without creating dependency or clogging pores.
2. They repair the skin barrier.
An unbalanced scalp often has an impaired lipid barrier. Oils restore this natural film, protecting the scalp from external aggressions.
3. They calm inflammation
Some oils have natural anti-inflammatory properties that soothe redness, itching, and tightness.
4. They regulate sebum production.
Oils such as jojoba and hazelnut are particularly effective at balancing oily scalps without damaging them.
