Sugarcane-derived hemisqualane, rosemary extract, turmeric, moringa seed oil, and basic root extract work in conjunction to minimize hair loss, stimulate the scalp, and improve hair health over time. You’ll be crying Queer Eye-level tears when you see how soft and shiny your hair looks after application.
Bread Beauty Supply‘s Macadamia Oil is a Best of Beauty winner for a multitude of reasons, the main one being its ability to deeply penetrate the hair shaft and nourish hair from within. This gloss is considered a “light” oil that’s easily absorbable and non-greasy, making it ideal for all hair types. It’s rich in triglycerides and Kakadu plum oil, which can help to moisturize, repair, and strengthen the hair, while also adding shine.
For thousands of years, Indian women have used hair oil massages to stimulate blood flow to the hair follicles, which in turn promotes hair growth and healthier, longer hair.

Made from just five ingredients, including tsubaki and meadowfoam seed oils, Crown Affair’s The Hair Oil provides intense moisture, enhances shine, and fortifies and smoothens hair fibers for optimal hair health.

While it may err on the pricier side, this luxury pick from Augustinus Bader, simply dubbed The Hair Oil, is a miracle product for anyone struggling with dry, damaged, or brittle hair. Formulated with the brand’s proprietary TFC8 technology, which is a combination of natural oils, vitamins, and amino acids, this hair oil helps to nourish and strengthen the hair, while also protecting it from damage. Our tester called this oil the “superstar product of the entire [Augustinus Bader hair-care] range” as well as billing it as one of the best hair oils she’d tried, period. “It was intensely conditioning and moisturizing, leaving my curls feeling both soft and strong,” she summarized.
