London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/27/2011 -- Hair is the crowning glory for most women. Thick and beautiful hair represents youth and health and beauty. Although as we age our hair ages too, it becomes drier and the density may suffer too. Many women complain of thinning hair as they cross into menopause or when experiencing hormonal changes. Hair depends on many factors, stress; diet, harsh hair treatments and age all play a part. However there are the lucky few with great genes and whose hair remains glossy and thick throughout their lives.

There are so many cold pressed and unrefined hair oils available today, whether nut oils, seed oils, flower oils and more, there seems to be a surge in demand for oils for both hair and skin care. Popular oils include the Japanese Camellia oil, a hair and skin oil used by Japanese women over centuries to preserve their beauty. In India and Sri Lanka one of the most popular hair oils is Coconut oil. This is massaged three to four times a week into the scalp and left overnight or even for a few days to nourish and replenish the hair and scalp. Jojoba oil is wonderful oil for hair too, and is particularly popular for Afro hair, as is Shea butter.

The good thing about most oils as they are beneficial for both skin and hair and can be used for both. Argan oil for example, this Moroccan nut oil has been used by the Berber women of Morocco for hundreds of years to beautify their skin and hair. Many oils can also be used internally and oils like the virgin coconut hair oil and Aragn oil are healthy food oils to which can provide inner nutrition for the hair and skin as well.

The process of massaging the oil into the hair is also most important as this is where you can help stimulate hair growth and rejuvenate the hair follicles. Indian head massage is a treatment where the masseuse applies oils for you and is part of many spa menus these days. Whilst massaging hair oil, be sure to part your hair and distribute the oil equally to all parts of the scalp, from the back to the crown and to the temples. Another great tip is to wrap a steaming hot towel around the head; this opens up the follicles and the oils seeps in deeply. Warm oil is also preferable to cold oil as this sinks into the skin much more easily and provides a very therapeutic sensation too.

Many hair care products are now using oil as part of their ingredients, Serums and hair masks contain oils and many hair balms contain oils like Avocado oil to repair dry and damaged hair.
