Sweet Almond Oil hydrates and nourishes hair, restoring its protective barrier, cleansing the hair follicles and making hair lustrous and healthy. It reduces breakage and split ends, and moisturises the scalp, soothing itchiness and softening dry roots.
Applying Sweet Almond oil to your scalp also increases blood flow to your head so that it can absorb the potent antioxidants in the oil.

To smooth fly-away hair, after shampooing, apply about 5 drops to the ends before drying. This hydrates, tames frizz and makes styling easy.

Antibacterial and fungicidal properties allow Sweet Almond Oil to balance the yeast that causes dandruff.
Massaging the scalp for at least 10 minutes with about 5–7 drops of Sweet Almond oil loosens the build-up of dead cells, which you can then wash out easily.
