While hair oil is a new concept to many, it actually dates back thousands of years. Originating in India, ‘hair
oiling’ is an ancient Ayurvedic practice meant to strengthen and nourish not only the hair and scalp, but
also the mind and spirit. Hair oiling involves pouring oil onto the hair and scalp, deeply massaging it in,
and leaving the oil on for a few hours before rinsing. With continued use, the oil will strengthen and protect the
hair follicle and strand, condition the scalp skin, stimulate healthy hair growth, and leave
softness, fullness, and shine. And of course, tame those pesky flyaways!
Some of Silken's star ingredients are:
• Rosemary Seed oil which has strong anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant
properties that help in healing and detoxing the scalp, keeping it clean and healthy, thus
promoting hair growth and treating hair loss and breakage.
• Pumpkin Seed oil is rich in minerals and contains phytosterols, which promote hair growth. It’s
also reputed for it’s antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties which benefit anyone with
scalp concerns such as dandruff, thinning hair, or hair loss.
• Broccoli Seed oil which is fast becoming the preferred oil known for it’s distinctive shine and has
been informally referred to as a 'natural' dimethicone.
• Shea Nut oil has a myriad of hydration and moisturization benefits, providing a protective
barrier from external drying agents.
• Camellia Oil is known to soften hair, minimize oil production, improve the skin barrier function
of the scalp and soothe inflammation. This oil dates back to the ancient ages and is believed that
geishas used the oil to maintain their hair health.
We also have the impressive benefits of argan oil, moringa, almond and avocado oils to
help restore moisture levels, strengthen strands and improve elasticity, density and volume, as well as
shine. Other key essential oils used are lemongrass, tea tree, cedarwood, clary sage and lavender – all brilliant
clarifying agents, and each providing extraordinary benefits to the follicle and strand resulting in thicker,
stronger hair.
