A brief overview of vegetable oils that make hair grow faster
To choose the right vegetable oils to stimulate hair growth and reduce hair loss, you need a good knowledge of how they are made! And finally, it's quite simple: we explain all that to you.
Vegetable seed oils (sesame, sunflower, rapeseed, grape seed, etc.) to activate hair growth
Before becoming vegetable oils, the seeds are cleaned, crushed and heated before being pressed the first time. The oil then extracted will therefore come from “first pressure”. The less heating, the more the benefits of the oils will be preserved. This first pressing will produce a paste containing 12 to 15% crude oil. A second extraction, chemical this time, is possible to obtain more oil. But more is sometimes the enemy of better, and this second pressure is not necessarily the best for the health of the hair!
Vegetable fruit oils (apricot, olive, avocado, coconut, etc.) which boost hair growth
The process is quite similar: after being cleaned and crushed, the fruits produce a paste partly composed of oil. If the mixture is heated, the oil obtained will be called "pressure". In the absence of heating, it will be a "cold pressed" oil. Here again, a second extraction is sometimes possible to recover as much oil as possible: this will be the “extraction oil”. And you understood it... Pressed oil is richer in benefits. The best of the best, of course, is cold pressed oil, which preserves all the active ingredients of the fruits! Your skin and hair will love it!
