What most information on haircare fail to emphasize is the use of the right hair oil that is devoid of chemicals and rich in natural ingredients that truly benefit the hair. The market is brimming with hair care products, mainly hair oils but the truth is very few deliver the results that they claim to. The prime reason can be asserted to the flawedindustrial methods implemented towards extraction and purification of those oils. In addition, manufacturersuse of harsh chemicals to enhance the aroma, colour and appeal of these commercial hair oils that impair their authentic qualities. As a result, instead of reducing the hair problems, the problem exists or gets worse with time.
