Why Cold-Pressed Oils Are The Secret To Strong Hair

Cold-pressed oils retain 3x more nutrients than refined oils. Here is what they do for your hair and scalp.

Why Cold-Pressed Oils Are The Secret To Strong Hair

Not all hair oils are made equal. Refined oils are heated to very high temperatures during extraction - which destroys most of the fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins your scalp actually needs.

Cold-pressed oils are pressed mechanically at under 50°C. The oils retain their natural color, scent and most importantly, their nutrients - vitamin E, squalene, fatty acids and natural anti-inflammatories.

What you will notice over 3 months: softer lengths, reduced dandruff and itch, fewer split ends and a generally calmer, healthier scalp.

For best absorption, warm oil before use - or simply apply it after a hot shower when your follicles are open.
