Same Bottle, Different Jobs
While both nourish your strands, scalp oil and hair oil serve very different purposes.
Scalp Oils:
-
Lightweight and fast-absorbing
-
Designed to penetrate the skin, not coat it
-
Often infused with stimulating ingredients like rosemary or tea tree
-
Support follicle health and reduce inflammation
Hair Oils:
-
Thicker and more emollient
-
Coat the strands to lock in moisture and shine
-
Protect from heat, UV, and frizz
-
Often contain silicones or heavier plant oils like argan or coconut
Tip: Apply scalp oils directly to the roots, and hair oils to the mid-lengths and ends. Using the right oil, the right way = better results.
