Grape seed oil is a very valuable substance used in cooking and cosmetics. It is extracted through cold-pressing of grape seeds.

What are the effects of grape oil hair mask treatment? Your hair is soft to the touch, shiny and easy to style. Antioxidants, included in the oil, make hair and scalp look young and healthy. What is more, the product reduces free radicals, slows down ageing processes, hinders premature greying and stops hair loss. Grape oil controls the work of hair follicles, reduces excessive sebum production and prevents greasy scalp. Moreover, it smooths, adds shine and doesn’t weigh hair down.

Do you know that grape oil is ideal for hair oiling? It contains omega-6 and omega-3 acids, therefore it is a polyunsaturated oil. It is recommended for high porosity hair. Hair oil treatment should be very short – hair with highly raised cuticles absorbs water and other liquid substances quickly. Apply a large amount of grape oil to dry hair; remember about scalp and hair ends. Leave the product in for a few hours or overnight. Wash hair thoroughly in the morning and let it dry naturally.

Which grape oil should you choose? The unrefined and cold-pressed ones are the best. Pay attention to storage, shelf life and organic certificates while shopping. Grape oil should be stored in a dark glass bottle, away from light, dampness and air. Only then will it bring satisfactory effects.
