About Our Hair Oil Collection
Hair oils sit at the end of a routine. Most are leave-in products applied to towel-dried hair before styling, or to dry hair as a finisher, where they smooth the cuticle, cut down frizz and add shine. Some double as heat protectants, some carry bond-building or keratin technology, and a smaller group is designed for the scalp rather than the lengths.
The biggest difference between oils is weight. Dry oil sprays and silicone-based serums such as KMS HairStay Dry Oil Spray or Goldwell StyleSign Weightless Shine Oil disappear into fine hair. Pure plant oils such as castor, coconut or argan, and rich blends like Davines Authentic Nourishing Oil, give thick or very dry hair more to drink. Use the filters beside the product grid to narrow by brand, price or product type.

Benefits of Using a Hair Oil
- Softer, smoother ends. Oil coats the hair fibre, so dry, rough ends feel softer and look less frayed.
- Less frizz. A thin layer of oil helps hair hold its shape in humid weather and keeps flyaways down.
- More shine. Smoothing the cuticle helps hair reflect light, which is why finishing oils make colour look richer.
- Easier detangling. A drop or two on wet lengths helps a brush or comb glide through, with less snagging.
- Help with heat styling. Many oils, including ghd Sleek Talker and De Lorenzo Defence Thermal Argan Oil, are made to be used before the dryer or irons.
- Extra care for damaged hair. Bond and repair oils from K18, Olaplex, Matrix and L'Oreal Professionnel are designed for bleached and over-processed hair.
- A little goes a long way. Most people use one to three pumps per application, so a 100ml bottle lasts for months.
Hair Oil Buying Guide
Match the weight to your hair. Fine or oily-rooted hair does best with a dry oil spray or a light serum used on the ends only. Medium hair suits most argan oils. Thick, coarse, curly or very dry hair can take richer blends and more product.
Decide what you want it to do. For shine and softness, choose a finishing oil. For frizz, pick a smoothing or anti-humidity oil. For bleach or heat damage, a bond or repair oil makes more sense. For the scalp, use an oil made for scalp massage and wash it out.
Think about colour. Blondes and colour clients often prefer clear, lightweight oils such as Joico Blonde Life Brilliant Glow or Angel En Provence Morocco Colour Protect, which add shine without heaviness.
Check how it is used. Most oils go on damp or dry lengths and stay in. Pre-wash and scalp oils, like the Brillare oils, are massaged in and shampooed out. Sun oils are applied before swimming or time outdoors.
Pick a size. Try a 30ml or 50ml bottle, travel size or sachet first, then move to 100ml or larger once you know it suits. Bundles that pair an oil with the matching shampoo and conditioner are listed in Packs & Bundles.

Hair Oil FAQs
What does hair oil do?
Hair oil coats the hair fibre to smooth the cuticle, soften dry ends, reduce frizz and add shine. Some oils also protect against heat or support repair in damaged hair.
How do I use hair oil?
Warm one to three pumps between your palms and smooth through the mid-lengths and ends of towel-dried or dry hair. Start with less and add more if needed.
Should I put hair oil on wet or dry hair?
Both work. On damp hair, oil helps with detangling and blow-drying; on dry hair, it tames flyaways and adds a finishing shine.
Can I put oil on my roots?
Most finishing oils are best kept to the mid-lengths and ends, as they can make roots look greasy. Scalp oils are the exception and are designed for massage and washing out.
Will hair oil make fine hair greasy?
It can if you use too much or choose a heavy oil. Fine hair suits dry oil sprays and light serums, used sparingly on the ends.
What is the best hair oil for fine hair?
Choose a lightweight formula such as KMS HairStay Dry Oil Spray, Goldwell StyleSign Weightless Shine Oil or Wella Oil Reflections Light Luminous Reflective Oil.
What is the best hair oil for thick or coarse hair?
Thicker hair can take richer oils, such as Davines Authentic Nourishing Oil, Redken All Soft Argan-6 Oil or Davines OI Oil.
What is the best hair oil for frizz?
Smoothing oils such as Wella Ultimate Smooth Miracle Oil Serum, KMS TameFrizz De-Frizz Oil and Schwarzkopf BC Frizz Away Smoothing Oil are made for frizz-prone hair.
What is the best hair oil for damaged hair?
Repair oils such as K18 Molecular Repair Oil, Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil, Matrix Instacure Build-A-Bond Billion Bond Oil and L'Oreal Professionnel Absolut Repair Molecular Oil suit hair damaged by bleach, colour and heat.
Which hair oil is good for curly hair?
Davroe Curlicue Hydrating Hair Oil, Alfaparf Semi Di Lino Curls Multi-Benefit Oil and Matrix A Curl Can Dream Mask Oil add moisture and help curls clump without crunch.
Which hair oil suits coloured hair?
Natural Look ColourArt Kakadu Oil, Angel En Provence Morocco Colour Protect Silky Oil and Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Luster Lock are designed for colour-treated hair.
Is there a hair oil for blonde hair?
Yes. Joico Blonde Life Brilliant Glow Brightening Oil and Schwarzkopf BlondMe Bondfinity Deep Repair Oil are made with lightened hair in mind.
What is argan oil?
Argan oil is pressed from the kernels of the Moroccan argan tree. It is one of the most popular hair oils because it softens and adds shine without feeling heavy on most hair types.
Which argan oils do you stock?
We stock Milk Shake Argan Oil, Morocco Argan Oil, Argan Sublime Argan Oil Elixir, HQ Professional Argan Oil, Floractive Marroco Golden Plus Argan Oil, Natural Look Static Free Unplugged Argan Oil and Angel En Provence Argan Active Oxygen oil.
What is the difference between a hair oil and a hair serum?
Oils are usually based on plant oils, while serums often rely on silicones for slip and shine. In practice the categories overlap, and many products, such as Wella Ultimate Smooth Miracle Oil Serum, combine both.
What is a dry oil?
A dry oil absorbs quickly and leaves little residue, so hair looks shiny rather than oily. KMS HairStay Dry Oil Spray is a good example.
Can hair oil protect against heat?
Some can. ghd Sleek Talker, De Lorenzo Defence Thermal Argan Oil and Olaplex No.7 Bonding Oil are made to be used before heat styling. If your oil does not say so, use a separate heat protectant.
Can I use hair oil before straightening?
Only if the oil is designed for heat. Otherwise apply a heat protectant first and use oil afterwards as a finisher.
What are Brillare oil shots?
They are single-use 6ml vials of concentrated oil, sold in packs of eight. Brillare makes rosemary, onion and bakuchiol, tea tree and salicylic, and argan and phytolipid versions.
How do I use a pre-wash scalp oil?
Massage it into a dry scalp, leave it on for the time stated on the pack, then shampoo thoroughly. You may need two washes to remove all the oil.
Do hair oils make hair grow?
Cosmetic oils cannot change how hair grows. Scalp oils such as rosemary blends are popular for scalp massage and care; for sudden or patchy hair loss, see your GP.
Can hair oil help a dry, itchy scalp?
A scalp oil such as Holistic Hair Scalp Treatment Oil can make a dry scalp feel more comfortable. If irritation continues, see your GP or pharmacist.
Is coconut oil good for hair?
Coconut oil is a rich oil that many people use as a pre-wash treatment for dry hair. Brillare Pure Coconut Oil and Murrays Cocosoft coconut oil dressings are in this collection.
What are Murrays Cocosoft products?
They are traditional coconut oil hair dressings in 354g tubs, used for conditioning, shine and light hold. They are popular for textured hair and classic barber styles.
Can I use hair oil on my beard?
A light hair oil can soften a short beard, but beard oils are designed for facial hair and the skin underneath. See our Beard Oil collection.
Can I use hair oil on my body?
Some oils, such as Lust Luxury Oil and the Brillare pure almond, castor and coconut oils, are made for hair and body. Check the product description first.
Is there a hair oil for babies?
Yes. Baby Forest Nanhi Champi is a baby hair massage oil. Do a small patch test first and stop if your baby's skin reacts.
Are there vegan or unscented hair oils?
Hanz De Fuko Hair Oil is vegan and unscented. For other products, check the individual description, as claims vary by brand.
How much hair oil should I use?
One pump suits short or fine hair, two or three suit long or thick hair. Too much leaves hair looking greasy, so build up slowly.
How often should I use hair oil?
Finishing oils can be used every time you style. Pre-wash and treatment oils are usually used once or twice a week.
Can I leave oil in overnight?
Many people leave a pre-wash or nourishing oil on overnight as a treatment, then shampoo in the morning. Protect your pillowcase with a towel.
Should I use hair oil with a conditioner?
Yes. Conditioner does most of the softening in the shower, and oil finishes the job after you towel-dry. They work well together.
Can I mix hair oil with other styling products?
Yes. Many people mix a drop of oil into a cream or leave-in to add slip and shine. Apply heat protectant before heat styling.
Does hair oil expire?
Yes. Most oils have a period-after-opening symbol on the pack, often 6 to 12 months. Keep the lid closed and store out of direct sun.
Can I travel with hair oil?
Yes. 30ml and 50ml bottles, sachets and the HH Simonsen travel and sachet sizes suit carry-on luggage. See Travel Sizes for more.
Are there hair oil bundles?
Yes. Many brands pair an oil with the matching shampoo, conditioner and mask in trio and quad bundles, such as the Davines Nounou, KMS AllSmooth and Natural Look ColourArt bundles.
Do you sell hair oil gift packs?
Yes. K18 Repair + Protect, L'Oreal Professionnel Absolut Repair, Davines OI and Kevin Murphy Repair Revival trio gift packs are in this collection.
What is the price range for hair oils?
