Hair oil for men: when should you use it?

Do you have dry and fragile hair that easily breaks and does your hair not stay the way you want? Then your hair will probably benefit from some hair oil or hair serum. Hair oil is great when you are looking for more hydration, flexibility, and stronger hair. Your hair becomes smoother, and you will experience less flyaway's.

Fun fact is that more hair oils can also be used as beard oil!

But in this blog post I will talk about the benefits of hair oil for men.

Hair oil for men: best ingredients

Research shows that certain hair oils can thicken your hair and reduce hair loss[1]. In this particular study they added herbs to coconut based hair oils.

Coconut oil

Coconut oil has not been chosen randomly. In a study that compared mineral oil, sunflower seed oil and coconut oil, it turned out that coconut oil was best to prevent damaged hair and to promote strong hair. It helps to retain the proteins in your hair and it does that better than mineral oil or sunflower seed oil[2].

Coconut oil has certain properties that enables it to bind itself to proteins in your hair. Its molecules can penetrate your hair deeply. Mineral oil does not have these properties. That explains why research sees coconut oil as the best protection for your hair and to keep the level of proteins in your hair balanced.

Argan oil

Argan oil is also a very popular oil to use in hair oils for men. Argan oil is also able to bind itself to proteins in your hair. In addition to that argan oil also contains many antioxidants, which help to nourish and protect your hair[3].

Linseed oil

Linseed oil is also a popular ingredient to use, because it can help to fight dandruff and alopecia[4].

Hemp seed oil

And the last oil to mention is hemp seed oil or CBD oil. These are also great for your hair and scalp. It improves the blood circulation of your scalp and that helps to slow down hair loss. And it also contains proteins, fatty acids and minerals to nourish your hair and help with scalp issues.[5].

The only downside is that in some cases drug tests can come back positive when you use these products. So always make sure you mention what kind of CBD products you use when you need a drug test that uses hair[6].

Hair oil for men: how to apply it correctly?

Before you apply hair oil it is important to wash your hair, so that your hair is completely clean and can absorb the important ingredients.

Some hair oils you can apply in damp hair and for other oils it sometimes is better to apply them in dry hair. In the Moquer shop you can always find a product description that will let you know how to use a product.

Take some hair oil in your hands and rub the oil between your hands to warm it up a little bit. This helps the hair oil to penetrate your hair deeper.

Now you massage your hair and scalp with your oiled hands. Make sure to focus on the roots as well. Now comb your hair to distribute the oil more evenly.

You can blow-dry it afterwards or apply a styling product.

Which hair oil works best for me?

In the Moquer shop you can find plenty of hair oils for men, but I will mention some popular ones.

Blumaan Cloud Control Hair Oil

The first hair oil I would like to mention is manufactured by the brand Blumaan. This American brand has any different hair styling products for men, and they have a very popular hair oil, called Cloud Control, as well. This product works very well for men with dry, damaged and/or thick hair.

Blumaan Cloud Control contains numerous natural oil to hydrate your hair. Your hair will become softer and less frizzy after a few weeks of usage.

Erik Brouwers said this about this hair oil on Moquer.nl:

"I have never used hair oil before, but after doing some research online to find styling product for curly hair, I found this one. It is amazing stuff! You only need a little bit and my hair feels great without being sticky."

Shear Revival All Purpose Oil

This is a very versatile product that can be used as a hair oil, beard oil, and even for your skin. The formula is 100% vegan, so all ingredients are plant based. It contains many natural oils to provide a lot of hydration. Your hair will be nourished and soothed for a healthier look and feel.

Shear Revival All Purpose Oil does not contain any parabens or sulphates. The formula has a delicious scent with notes of bergamot, rosemary and amber.

Giuseppe said this about it on Moquer.com:

"Shear Revival is establishing itself as a leading brand in the cosmetics scene. Made with natural plant oils and derivatives, Sawbones is one of the best oils I've ever tried. Great for moisturizing the skin under your beard and mustache, as a hair toner or skin moisturizer after a good shower or even post-shave. It really only takes a few pumps to have well moisturized skin with a pleasant woody scent that doesn't come off as chemical or vaguely synthetic at all. A must have for every man."

Forte Series Hydrating Argan Oil

This last hair oil I mention is definitely not least. It probably is our most popular hair oil, to be honest. Forte Series is the brand of popular hair- and fashion YouTuber, Alex Costa. The formula of is Hydrating Argan Oil is very light and it will not make your hair greasy. It provides a lot of hydration and can even be used as a pre styler.

You hair will be nourished and protected by natural ingredients. It also helps to control difficult or unruly hair.

Ahmad said this about this hair oil on Moquer.com:

"Best hair oil I have ever used. Give smooth shinning texture to hairs. Give fresh look for many hours.. Loving it "

Conclusion

At first instance, hair oil maybe looks a bit like a product that is more for women or men with very long hair, but this blog post showed you it is not. When you have very thick hair or when your hair is dry or damaged, then a hair oil can help to revive your hair again and make it look more vivid by hydrating it extensively.

You also do not have to be afraid that these hair oils are smelling like flowers or other fragrances you associate more with women's products. In the Moquer shop we have many premium and professionally formulated hair oils that are made specifically for men.
