Grapeseed Oil: the Secret to Shiny, Healthy Hair

Looking for a nourishing hair ingredient that will add shine without weighing it down? Grapeseed oil might just be the solution to your dilemma. Noted for being fairly lightweight, grapeseed oil is packed with natural benefits that can truly elevate your hair routine. Yet, for being such a great solution, few people know about it. Here’s everything you need to know about what grapeseed oil is, who should be using it, the benefits of using it, as well as how to incorporate it into your daily routine.

What is Grapeseed Oil?

As the name implies, grapeseed oil is a byproduct of the winemaking process, where the oil is extracted from the seeds of grapes. Since it is a natural product, this also means that the oil is full of key nutrients like vitamin E, fatty acids, and antioxidants, all while remaining relatively lightweight in form. Because of its hydrating properties, grapeseed oil is often used as an essential ingredient in high-quality hair care products to smooth hair without weighing it down. For affordable hair products with grapeseed oil that will bring out sleek, shiny, and healthy-looking hair without the grease, try Shampoohotel's Paris Collection. 

Who Should Be Using Grapeseed Oil?

While grapeseed oil is recognized for being the perfect solution for a wide range of hair types and textures, it is especially beneficial for individuals with dry, damaged, frizzy, or fine hair. 

• Dry Hair: Grapeseed oil is the perfect solution for anyone looking for some additional moisture for their hair.

• Damaged Hair: If your hair is damaged from heat styling or other environmental factors, grapeseed oil can help revive and nourish it.

• Frizzy Hair: Known largely for its smoothing effects, grapeseed oil can help tame unwanted frizz. 

• Fine Hair: Unlike other heavier oils, grapeseed oil doesn’t weigh hair down, making it the perfect solution for already fine or oily hair.

If your natural hair type falls into any of these categories, grapeseed oil could be the perfect addition to your hair care routine.

What are the Grapeseed Oil Benefits for Hair?

Grapeseed oil is certainly known for its ability to add shine to hair, but it has a variety of other benefits beyond appearance. Regardless of your hair type or typical hair routine, grapeseed oil can be a valuable addition. In addition to smoothing and adding shine, grapeseed oil promotes hair growth, strengthens hair, and protects against environmental factors. Here’s how its benefits work together to give you your healthiest hair: 

Adds Shine and Smoothness

First and foremost, grapeseed oil adds a natural shine to your hair. More specifically, the oil helps smooth the cuticle layer of your hair, meaning your hair is able to reflect light better, in turn, leading to a sleeker and shinier finish to your hair. If you’re looking to improve the health and appearance of your hair, products in the Paris Collection will give you the results you are looking for. 

Strengthens Hair

Due to its fatty acid components, grapeseed oil strengthens the hair shaft, improves overall elasticity, and consequently, reduces your hair’s risk for breakage. With consistent use, your hair will become stronger and more resilient to actions that would otherwise cause breakage and damage.

Protects Against Environmental Factors

Over time, pollution and UV rays can cause damage to your hair. This can cause your hair to dry out, appear dull, or even break. Grapeseed oil addresses this problem by casting a protective barrier around your hair follicles, guarding against oxidative stress, which is the primary cause of that original dryness. 

With consistent grapeseed oil use, all these benefits combined will help promote your healthiest and shiniest hair.

FAQs About Grapeseed Oil:

Is grapeseed oil good for hair growth?

While grapeseed oil doesn’t directly contribute to hair growth, it does promote a healthy environment for hair growth by nourishing the scalp and strengthening hair strands. Combined, these factors can support hair growth and less breakage.

How long should you leave grapeseed oil in your hair?

As with most hair care products, be sure to follow the product’s instructions to ensure the best results. If you are using an oil treatment, plan to leave your treatment on anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on your needs or hair type. If you are using a shampoo or conditioner, apply as regularly and follow the product instructions. 

Do you put grapeseed oil on wet or dry hair?

Whether applied to wet or dry hair, grapeseed oil still produces similar results. For the most moisture, apply grapeseed oil to damp, freshly-washed hair. To smooth frizz or add shine, apply to dry hair. For both, consider using a shampoo and conditioner combination, such as the Paris Collection by Shampoohotel.
