Ingredients: 100% pure mineral oil

Mineral Oil is a colorless oil, made from liquid petroleum. While mineral oil is sometimes said to be inferior to plant-based oils, there are several benefits of using mineral oil for hair. Like many types of hair oil, mineral oil will lock in moisture, prevent frizz, and add shine to the hair. What sets mineral oil apart is its affordable price and light, non-greasy texture. Mineral oil will define curls and improve the appearance of hair without leaving behind an oily film.

One of the greatest benefits of using mineral oil for hair is its ability to hold in moisture. When mineral oil is applied to the hair, it creates a barrier over the cuticles. This prevents moisture from escaping and keeps the hair hydrated. It also prevents additional moisture from penetrating the hair strand. Hair oil should be applied to damp or well-hydrated hair to prevent dryness.

Since mineral oil prevents moisture from penetrating the strands, it also prevents frizz. Frizz occurs when moisture penetrates the hair’s cortex and causes it to swell. This often results in a coarse, unhealthy appearance. Using mineral oil on hair creates a barrier that protects against frizz and reflects light. Instead of appearing dry and dull, the hair should appear healthy and shiny.
