The 10 Best Oils to Use for Every Hair Situation

This oil has a cult following, and for good reason. While Marjan recommends it for color-treated hair — saying it adds softness and shine while repairing color-damage — its lightweight and fast-absorbing formula also seals split ends, protects hair from harmful UV rays, and has rich, nourishing ingredients, making it ideal for all hair types.

Marjan recommends this oil as it  it adds shine and moisture while smoothing frizz and flyaways. "I love that it's a clean beauty brand, and a small amount goes a long way," she adds. Just a few drops of it as a last step on damp hair, or as a last step after styling, will do the trick.

Marjan says that because this oil is infused with keratin protein and marula oil, it combats some of the most evident signs of hair damage, such as a dull appearance, lack of shine, and lackluster color.

Alsaadi says this oil is perfect for fine hair as it contains baobab oil, collagen, and is specifically formulated to fortify and thicken each strand. Plus, she says it acts as a heat protectant and helps achieve major fullness and volume when styling hair.

Marjan says she loves this oil as an all-over, multi-purpose oil that can be used in hair to soften, add shine, and help curls and coils to separate sans frizz. You can even combine with your favorite curl cream or other products to make it more nourishing.

Wavy hair types tend to be finer, so Marjan says you should use a hair oil that is lightweight so as to not weigh down waves. Bumble and bumble hairdresser's invisible oil fits the bill, as it offers a lightweight shine and hydration without making hair feel heavy or greasy.

Marjan says curly hair is naturally drier than other hair types, but this oil is thick enough to replenish its moisture levels to give hair bounce and shine. It's infused  with antioxidant-rich argan oil and shine-boosting vitamins —a god-tier combo.

Oil that is pigmented gold or orange will dull bright blondes, so Alsaadi says it's super important to use a product that's either transparent or has a slightly purple tint.
