The use of oils to enhance hair health was probably one of the greatest ideas of man. Not only does it improve the health of your hair by conditioning and nourishing it, it also solves a variety of hair problems. However, it can sometimes be difficult to find a suitable oil for your hair. While cold-pressed organic oils are usually the best choice, you can improve your hair-care game by making your own oil blends at home. Below I have compiled a list of 6 homemade hair oils for various hair problems.
