Almond oil contains all kinds of ingredients that are healthy for the hair. Consider, for example, omega 3 fatty acids, phospholipids, vitamin E and magnesium. Almond oil nourishes and strengthens the hair, and is very effective in the treatment of hair loss and damaged hair. Just a few drops of almond oil can restore softness and shine to the hair and nourish the scalp. Preferably use pure almond oil; most products in the store contain only a small concentration of almond oil and a large amount of petroleum paraffin.

To step

Method 1 of 2: Wet hair

1. Wet and brush your hair. Almond oil is best absorbed when the hair is wet. Use a brush to detangle the hair before applying the almond oil as a conditioner
2. Heat the almond oil. Place a bowl of almond oil in the microwave and heat for 10 seconds at a time until warm but not too hot. You want it to feel warm so that the heat opens up the outer cuticles of your hair. This makes it easier for moisture to penetrate your strands.
   • Test the heat of the oil by holding the back of your hand a few inches away from the oil so you don't burn.
3. Rub the oil into the scalp. Put a small amount of almond oil in your palm and apply the oil on the scalp at the roots of the hair. Gently massage the oil into the scalp with your fingers. This will stimulate new hair growth, nurture the roots and protect the hair.
   • Massaging oil into the roots can also help prevent dandruff.
4. Use a comb to spread the oil. Comb from the root to the tip. Make sure to cover all hair with a small amount of oil.
5. Cover the hair. Put on a bathing cap and leave the oil on the scalp and hair for about an hour. If you have the time, you can also let the oil sit overnight.
6. Wash your hair with shampoo. Use shampoo to wash the oil off the hair. If you rinse the hair without shampoo, it will start to look greasy. Only use the shampoo once.
7. Rinse your hair. Rinse the shampoo from your hair and pat dry with a towel. When the hair dries, it will look silky and shiny.
8. Do this once a week. This treatment ensures that your hair becomes strong, soft and supple. By massaging the scalp, hair growth will eventually be promoted.

Method 2 of 2: Dry hair

1. Comb your hair. Start with dry hair that you have combed until it is smooth. Almond oil is especially good for thick, dry hair, and hair damaged by the sun or hair dye. It also makes curls stand out better.
2. Put a few drops of almond oil in the palm of your hand. A few drops, less than half a teaspoon of almond oil, should be enough to oil the hair. You shouldn't overdo it or else your hair will look greasy all day long.
3. Run your fingers through your hair. Start about halfway down the hair shaft and run your fingers through the hair all the way to the ends. By applying a layer of oil to the lower half of the hair, the hair will become less static and less frizz, which will make it look smoother and softer.
   • Do not apply the oil too close to the root or the hair will only look greasy.
4. Apply the oil to the ends whenever you want. Using almond oil is an excellent way to protect hair from dryness and split ends. Put a few drops on your fingers and apply the oil to the very tips of the hair a few times a day - to keep it strong and beautiful.

Tips

• Opt for this natural treatment regularly.
• Eating almonds, for example in the muesli, as a snack, or as a salad, can promote hair health.
• Try making a hair mask with 2 tablespoons of organic almond oil, 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of raw honey (to lock in moisture and restore split ends) and two drops of pure tea tree oil to promote hair growth and soften the scalp. Let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes, and wrap a towel around your hair to prevent dripping. You can also choose to put on a swimming cap. This works best on towel-dried hair. If you have long hair you can double the amount of the hair mask.
