5 hair oils that can protect your strands from daily heat and styling damage

If you often use heat tools, a few drops of oil can be used as a barrier before styling. While they aren’t a complete substitute for heat protectant sprays, oils like argan or almond create a lightweight shield that reduces moisture loss from hot tools. Just remember to apply sparingly and never to soaking wet hair.Hair oiling isn’t about going back to old-school rituals blindly. It’s about using those traditions with intention, choosing the right oils for your hair’s needs, and incorporating them into your modern routine, whether you’re prepping for a big blowout, fixing post-color dryness, or just giving your hair a moment to recover from all the styling we now consider “normal.”So, before your next round of curling, straightening, or pulling your hair into that tight, slicked-back bun, ask yourself: When was the last time I gave my hair what it actually needs?
