Beauty brands the world over have cottoned on to the fact that we’re actually rather fond of an oil for our tresses. An oil is easy to use and normally incredibly effective to boot. Here are a few of our favourites.

This Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturising Oil (£17.50) is the go-to oil for those with thick and coarse hair. It’s ultra moisturising and is infused with buriti oil to maintain hair’s suppleness. If you have dry, thick, unruly hair then this is the one for you.

For those with fine hair, oils can often be a little too much, dragging hair down and making it look a little lifeless. Moroccanoil Treatment Light (£31.85) is formulated to counteract this side-effect, so that you can nourish hair with all the intensity of a normal oil, whilst maintaining volume and movement.

Due to launch in May, this Clarins Sun Care Oil UVB/UVA Spray SPF 30 (£19.00) is the must-have multi-tasker this summer. Made up of a blend of nyamplung fruit oil, senna, plane tree extract and aloe vera, this new Clarins addition has everything it needs to keep both your hair and skin nourished and protected this summer. If you’re travelling, pack it. No questions asked. It will keep your hair and skin moisturised and protected from those harmful rays in a single spray. That’s a serious suitcase space saver!

The Pantene Pro-V Smooth & Sleek Dry Oil with Argan Oil (£6.99) is a nifty little product to keep in your dressing room. Its unique formula promotes a healthy glossy head of hair, and the argan oil it is infused with promises to keep hair hydrated for 24 hours. The price is pretty darned lovely too!

The Jojoba Company Jojoba Oil (£12.99) is 100% natural. And that’s a big deal for us. No parabens, no silicone infusions, this vile of golden liquid is beauty at its purest. Apply this Australia sourced wonder to skin, hair and cuticles.
