Depending on the type of product, the variant of its application, the exposure time and the feasibility of washing off, the oils are divided into categories, each of which has its own characteristics.

Oil is a highly nutritious fat, where a huge amount of components useful for hair is concentrated.

• The nutritional function is the main one among others. The rich composition of the oil nourishes and saturates the hair structure, fills every millimeter of it and thickens it.

• Heavy or oily. Examples are burdock, castor, shea, which have a high density and are difficult to wash off from the hair and scalp.It is advisable to use oils in their pure form exactly as much as in the composition of a cosmetic product.
• Bold compositions have a lower density and viscosity: almond, olive, avocado oil. They are equally useful for hair and epidermis, can be used separately or in a cosmetic complex.
