Oils for the care of hair shafts, e.g. for dry, unruly or otherwise frizzy hair, i.e. so-called frizz. Hair oils can be applied to damp hair, but also to dry hair. They should not be applied to the roots, only to the hair shaft and ends. When applied to damp hair, they serve as hair protection against environmental influences, dehydration and UV damage; when applied to dry hair, they give the hair more shine.

Grape seed oil, jojoba oil, rosemary oil, argan oil and, for dry hair, coconut oil and almond oil are used.
