Pros and cons

Sweet almond oil contains a large number of healing ingredients that allow you to cope with various imperfections of the scalp and hair. The following elements have the most pronounced effect:

1. organic acids that restore damaged hair and enhance cell regeneration;
2. protein substances that give shine and silkiness;
3. fatty acids that improve root nutrition;
4. niacin, which strengthens the roots and normalizes the functioning of the sebaceous glands;
5. folic acid, which protects hair and skin from external factors;
6. carotene, which has a moisturizing effect;
7. tocopherol, which enhances metabolic processes in cells;
8. squalene, which softens the hair and gives it elasticity.

The combination of these ingredients makes almond oil a versatile product, as it can be applied regardless of the characteristics of the hair. The product is equally well suited for oily, brittle, damaged, colored curls and will help to achieve the following results:

1. improve the condition of the tips;
2. prevent hair loss;
3. activate follicles;
4. eliminate fat content without overdrying;
5. give curls silkiness and smoothness.

Many people note that the effect after using the product is comparable to salon lamination - the shine and softness of the hair is increased several times. They are easier to comb and become stronger.

The product has an equally important effect on the scalp, solving the following problems:

1. excessive fat content;
2. dandruff and seborrhea;
3. dryness and flaking;
4. inflammatory manifestations;
5. irritation and itching.

Since the health of the hair directly depends on the condition of the scalp, every time you use the oil, it is important to thoroughly rub the product into the root area, performing a gentle massage. This will not only enhance the penetration of nutrients into the skin, but also activate metabolic processes to accelerate hair growth.

Application instructions

The oil is applied separately when performing massage and aroma combing, as well as in masks that enhance the effect of the procedure. It can also be added to shampoo if the product does not contain almond oil.

The tool is prohibited for use only with individual intolerance. Before distributing the product all over the scalp and hair, you need to test your reaction to its components by applying a couple of drops to a small area behind the ear.

If there are no unusual manifestations within 24 hours, for example, rash, redness or itching, you can apply the composition.

There are restrictions on the frequency of use of the oil. Any application of the product in pure or mixed form should be carried out no more than 2 times a week. Moreover, the duration of one course should not exceed 1.5–2 months. After a break of 2 months, you can return to using the product again.

Pure: massage and aroma combing

Perhaps the aroma-combing massage gives the best results. The procedure can be performed both separately with the application of only almond oil, and when using it in masks. During the rubbing of the composition into the skin, the follicles and cells are actively saturated with healing components, and the blood flow also increases, which has a positive effect on strengthening the roots.

Massage your scalp with oil as follows:

1. Pre-comb dry strands to facilitate the procedure.
2. Pour almond oil (1-2 tablespoons are enough, focus on the length of your hair) into a small container and heat in a water bath to a warm temperature.
3. Part it and use a hairdressing brush to apply the product to the skin.
4. Step 1.5 cm from the first part and do the next, parting the hairline to distribute the oil over the new area.
5. Continue applying the composition until you have covered the entire scalp.
6. Massage your skin, gently rubbing the oil in circular motions, for 7-10 minutes.
7. Pull your hair back and comb the entire length with a wooden comb for better oil distribution.
8. Check if the ends are well treated with the product.
9. Make a bun and use a plastic cap, and cover your hair with a warm towel on top.
10. Wait about 1 hour and wash off with shampoo. If you cannot completely remove the oil the first time, rinse your hair again.

These instructions can be followed when applying the mask, if the recipe does not imply the distribution of the mixture only on the tips. For dry curls, it is recommended to apply the product to clean hair, and for oily curls - 1-2 hours before rinsing.

Use as part of masks

Benefits and properties

The oil is obtained from the nuts of bitter and sweet almonds. In the first case, the agent is used as an ether, since bitter almonds are poisonous, and the squeeze from the product is concentrated and without nutrients. The ester is rich in flavonoids and has a delicate scent that is pleasing to the skin.

In the second case, when oil is squeezed out of sweet almonds, a cosmetic oil is obtained. In this case, the agent is almost colorless or has a light yellow tint and is odorless.

It is maximally saturated with nutrients and includes:

1. fatty acid. Promotes hair growth, protect curls from damage. Gently solder damaged and split ends;
2. vitamins A, E, F and C - retinol straightens the hair along its entire length, in combination with tocopherol, restores the protective layer of the hair, and vitamin C nourishes the cellular structure. Vitamin F helps to smooth out all irregularities in the hair, and nourishes dry brittle curls;
3. cortinoids and lycopene - coloring microelements that revitalize hair and give it a natural shade;
4. flavonoids - volatile substances, which, due to their light structure, are able to penetrate deep into the hair shaft and retain moisture inside it;
5. proteins - promote the growth of hair. Penetrating inside, they participate in the synthesis of collagen and other building fibers that are necessary for the health of curls;
6. amino acids - substances that have an antiseptic effect. With the help of these substances, the oil can have a hydrophilic effect on curly hair.

Almond extract is perfect for oily curls, as it normalizes fat metabolism in tissues, prevents the appearance of rashes and other inflammations on the scalp. Fights dandruff and is suitable for removing dry dermis.

In addition, almond extract is hypoallergenic, which means that it can be used for split ends, applied to the roots, wiped off the face, applied for the eyelids - it copes with its functions easily without harming the skin.

Indications for use:

1. brittle hair - the oil thickens the structure;
2. hair bundles - it is eliminated by soldering the scales after applying masks based on almond extract;
3. excessive fat content - passes after several applications of special compresses;
4. overdried curls - intensive nutrition and hydration is achieved through the use of almond concentrates;
5. severe damage - eliminated by heat compresses on the hair and scalp after two to three times;
6. dandruff - oil removes fungus during long-term use. The course of treatment with almond extract should be about 1 month;
7. skin diseases - disappear with successive procedures.

How to choose

Since almond oil is of several types - sweet and bitter extract, when choosing, you should decide what exactly the product is being bought for. If it is necessary for the treatment of hair and scalp, then you need to choose a virgin (cold) oil from a sweet bone.

If the oil is needed for simpler purposes and will not be used often, then almond essential oil, which is obtained from bitter seeds, can be purchased. In this case, it will be a concentrate, which can be added in a few drops to masks and care products.

It should also be remembered that essential oil has a large amount of volatile compounds and should not be used in its pure form - it must be diluted with basic, hypoallergenic oil, for example, peach or grape seed. After applying the ether on the skin, you should not go out into the sun, as the rays create concentrates when they come into contact with the skin.

On the contrary, cosmetic oil made from sweet almonds does not have many esters, so its use is possible in its pure form, as a base, or as an additional ingredient.

When buying, you should pay attention:

1. package - the oil should be stored in a glass bottle, preferably dark in color. This is necessary so that the beneficial trace elements in the composition are not oxidized. Buying a product in such a bottle, you can extend its shelf life up to several months;
2. best before date - indicated on the back of the package. It is better if the date of not only the expiration date, but also the packaging of the goods is spelled out. Store the opened product in the refrigerator or dark cool place;
3. information on the label - you need to carefully read the fine print and designations of the oil itself. Refined oil goes through several stages of purification, after which the oil has no useful properties, ethers also have a limited effect. But unrefined almond substrate is an excellent remedy for medical masks for hair and scalp.

Contraindications

Almond oil has no contraindications, it can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The only thing that needs to be done is to check the squeeze for individual intolerance: drop the oil on the wrist and wait for a response from the body for several hours. In case of an allergic reaction (skin rash, sharp redness, swelling, tears or runny nose), the oil should not be used. However, such cases are rare.

For pregnant women, the only obstacle is the smell of stone seed oil, which can aggravate toxicosis. Almond ether is contraindicated in this case.

How to use

In order for the nutrients to completely enter the hair, it is necessary to remember about some tricks:

1. the oil should be applied to slightly damp hair. If the product is used for oily hair, then it is better to apply it before shampooing, and if for dry, brittle and damaged hair, then after;
2. almond squeeze is best applied to curls in a pure form for the whole night;
3. it is necessary to use only a cold-pressed product - in such a product there is literally a vitamin concentrate that nourishes the hair and protects it from the negative effects of the external environment;
4. for colored curls, masks based on almond and jojoba oil should be used - since the compositions interact as efficiently as possible, and the substances complement each other and have a quick recovery effect;
5. from spots after ingrown hair, pigment or freckles, it is necessary to make compresses - almond oil can lighten the skin and remove toxins. Thanks to flavonoids and natural dyes, the skin acquires an even tone, and small specks brighten and disappear with regular use of masks;
6. the effectiveness of the oil is influenced by its temperature: in order for the moisturizing components to act quickly, it is better to warm the agent in a water bath to room temperature. It is necessary to check the heating with the little finger - it feels like it should not be either cool or hot, but equal to body temperature.
