How to Use Hair Oil: Expert Advice for Silky Locks

Hair oil is more than just a finishing touch - it’s a transformative treatment that can elevate your whole haircare routine. Our VELVET Nourishing Hair Oil is crafted to deliver instant softness, long-lasting shine, and deep nourishment - without weighing hair down. Here’s how to use hair oil for optimal results:

How do you use hair oil?

Always start by adding a small amount of hair oil to the palm of your hands, then rub together to warm the oil. This allows for easier distribution through your locks. Work through damp or dry hair, focusing on the ends and mid-lengths. Whether you’re using hair oil as a pre-dry treatment or as a finishing product, here are the ways that you can apply:

On damp hair for protection and hydration

Hair oil can be applied to damp hair before drying and styling. Here is how:

1. Apply to damp hair

After washing your hair, gently towel dry and apply 1-2 pumps of hair oil to mid-lengths and ends. This locks moisture, detangles and reduces frizz.

2. Let hair dry

Either slowly let your hair air dry, or use a hairdryer like our HERØ Ionic Technology Hairdryer to quickly dry locks. We’d recommend using a heat protection treatment such as our MIRACLE Rapid Blow-Dry Mist, which can speed up blow dry time by up to 50%, whilst also locking in moisture and protecting against heat. Shake well to activate, then spray over hair section-by-section from mids to ends.

3. Style as desired

Choose your selected style, with the knowledge that your look will be complete with smooth, silky locks that have no flyaways. Find out more about our styling and finishing products for every hair type: Styling & Finishing Products

On dry hair to smooth and finish

Use hair oil on dry hair to complete your look with a smooth, sleek finish. Find out more:

1. Apply to dry hair

After washing your hair with a nourishing shampoo and conditioner like our HYDRATE Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner, and drying with a hair dryer like our HERØ Ionic Technology Hairdryer, hair oil can now be applied. Apply a smaller amount of hair oil than you would to damp hair, to smooth hair and instantly add shine.

2. Style it up

Whether you’re leaving your hair natural, or styling with braids and accessories, hair oil will elevate every one of your looks.

How often should you oil your hair?

The frequency you should use hair oil depends on your hair type and needs. For dry or damaged hair, apply 3-4 times a week to help maintain softness and strength. If you have oily hair, you may want to reduce this down to 1-2 times a week. Our VELVET Nourishing Hair Oil is gentle enough to be used regularly,  no matter your routine.

What does hair oil do?

Hair oil works to smooth, soften and instantly add shine - transforming the look and feel of your locks. It makes hair silky and radiant, without any heaviness or residue in your strands. Here’s some of the benefits:

1. Reduces frizz

Frizz is usually caused by lack of moisture in the air, which disrupts the hair’s cuticle. Ingredients like avocado oil can help to hydrate hair, creating a protective barrier around each strand that locks in smoothness.

2. Smooths flyaways

Unruly flyaways can be really annoying for finished looks. Hair oils that include jojoba oil and argan oil can tame stray strands, for a flawless result. This works especially well when applied to dry hair.

3. Enhances shine

Shiny hair looks and feels healthier. Hair oil smooths the hair cuticle, which allows hair to reflect the light evenly across each strand - resulting in a glossy, luminous finish.

4. Helps with manageability

Hair oil can soften hair, which can detangle and make it easier to style. This makes brushing, blow-drying and shaping hair effortless, with a beautiful style.

Is hair oil good for hair?

Yes! The blend of oils in premium hair oils can enhance hair’s overall health. Ingredients like argan, jojoba and avocado oil can replenish moisture in your locks, and some oils can even offer UV protection against sun damage.

Why Choose our VELVET Nourishing Hair Oil?

Unlike many hair oils that feel heavy or sticky, VELVET Nourishing Hair Oil absorbs quickly and leaves hair luxuriously soft, not weighed down. With its indulgent blend of natural oils and our signature fragrance, it’s the perfect fusion of performance and luxury. It’s also vegan, cruelty-free, and formulated without sulphates or parabens - a refined choice that cares for both your hair and the planet.
