I’m not a kind of blogger who creates her perfect flawless world online. I always own up to messing up. That’s who I am and I confess to making some risky beauty choices to give you a warning. This way I also have a chance of telling you how to fix mistakes and what things and products actually work.
I’m sure most of you wonder ‘what she’s come up with this time’, I’m getting to the point straightaway. Let me confess: I have a soft spot for hair coloring and flat irons. Giving them up totally seems impossible. Since I had lots of big events and family celebrations recently, I didn’t let my straightener cool down and my hair was like chips on a frying pan 🙂 I stunned people around with silky smooth tresses but then I took a closer look at their condition. It was really sorry to look at my hair. So I put the iron aside and got a hair oil instead. My dearest, best, highest-rated online: Nanoil. Immense prestige. Did it manage to repair my hair? What else did I achieve with Nanoil Sweet Almond Oil? Enjoy the review!
What to use for damaged hair? Why oils prove helpful?
I’m not going to bore you with description of damaged hair. Briefly put, its structure is rugged (visible under microscope), cuticle scales raise, hair looks awful, is stiff, brittle, falls out and doesn’t grow. Damaged hair has increased porosity. Hair structures are held together by disulfide bonds which are broken due to heat tools and consequently hair loses moisture and gets weaker. There’s less water than on the desert so voluminous, luminous and healthy hair is just a dream.
Neither a shampoo nor a conditioner is able to fix this kind of damage because they don’t have the right ingredients and thus don’t work the way they should.
Considering that, why do natural oils work the right way? These natural and greasy substances turn out to know their stuff. They act multidimensionally, that is both inside hair and on its surface, fixing the structure.
Still, you should have no illusions about it. If your hair is totally damaged, over-processed and has split ends (nothing is going to bind them back!), the only thing that can help you is the hair scissors. However, if the hair state is simply bad but it’s not disastrous, you should do your best to save it. Oils equal:
- Protection and improvement of outside structures
- Repair of inner and outside structures
- Strengthening of hair follicles
- Scalp care
The effect of conditioners, masks or balms is limited to no. 1 only. That’s what makes oils unbeatable when it comes to repair action and top-quality hair therapy.
The best damaged hair treatment: Nanoil Almond Oil
There are hundreds of oils so how to choose the best one? Remember that it’s not like ‘the more exotic oil, the better’. The oil must go with your hair type, or hair porosity. Do one of hair porosity tests that the Internet is full of. I did one on Nanoil website as it seemed the most professional and besides I was shopping there so it was quite natural. Of course I’ll give you a link to save you the trouble of searching www.nanoil.co.uk/hair-porosity-test. A few on-point questions and everything gets obvious.
How else can you choose the right oil? If you’ve got damaged hair, it means it has high porosity or it might be medium yet increasing. In this case you should try oils made for highly-porous hair, including avocado oil, evening primrose oil, linseed oil and almond oil. The last one tops the others. It really fascinates me. Repairing my hair isn’t the only reason I rave about it.
Nanoil. Why I chose this oil?
Nanoil Sweet Almond Oil was practically my first choice. Nanoil beauty oils have top quality, they are pure and without any unwanted additives (alcohols, silicones, parabens or fragrances). 100% pure and unrefined oils which keep all amazing ingredients thanks to cold pressing. In the Nanoil mini oils offer you can choose between world’s most famous beauty oils. Each one is exceptional and flawless.
Sweet almond oil became my favorite because, apart from perfect hair repair, it is gentle, suitable for skin, keeping it smooth and hydrated.
How to use Nanoil Sweet Almond Oil?
It’s a pretty tough question because there are limitless ways of using the oil. Just speaking of hair care, you can use it in several ways, combine with conditioners, other oils, semi-products… I needed strong repair so I did usual wet hair oil treatment: applied the oil to damp hair and rubbed it into scalp, put on a shower cap and then a towel turban, left it for an hour (sometimes 30 minutes, 15 minutes a few times when I didn’t have much time), rinsed it with a shampoo; I liked to apply a conditioner afterwards to neutralize the oil and thoroughly wash the hair. That’s it. I slathered my hair with the oil regularly twice a week. I didn’t celebrate this treatment like it’s done in Ayurveda. It’s not at all complicated; the oil glides on hair and covers the entire head. What’s the effect?
Effects after four weeks
To be honest, I saw improvement after just 7 days as my hair stopped looking dull and got smooth and soft. Obviously, you shouldn’t expect a miracle. Hair repair needs more time so I kept using Nanoil. After a month, I spotted hair growing more quickly (especially baby hair), stopped falling out, hair got stronger, I see fewer hairs on the brush and the shine is simply mind-blowing.
Nanoil Almond Oil: reviews and my rating
Nanoil is a masterpiece, the best beauty oil I’ve had so far. All the wonderful words I use for describing it seem to be not enough. I guess the results speak for themselves. I can’t help running fingers through my hair, it’s so soft to touch, smooth and glossy. Dry and brittle tresses are gone. I’ve survived the hair disaster. I give Nanoil Almond Oil an A and I’m not surprised by the rave reviews everywhere.
What are extra benefits of Nanoil?
You don’t need to use it for hair only. Apply Nanoil to skin, face, body, nails… I like to mix my Nanoil with a lotion and spread it all over the body after a bath. I love it when my skin gets back super smoothness, it’s so nice and perfectly moisturized. The lotion doesn’t do the trick on its own. Because almond oil is high in vitamin E, I use it instead of night eye cream and wake up with a flawless, crease-free face without any dark circles.
