Gooseberry Delight Hair Oil #Squigs Beauty

Color: Blue

What it is?

Squigs’ award-winning headcare treatment for strong, shiny hair and a healthy scalp. Derived from the gooseberry plant, amla oil has been used as a beauty treatment in Indian communities for centuries, but many modern formulations contain unnecessary fragrances and dyes that can potentially cause a dry, itchy, and irritated scalp. After years of testing, we finally formulated the amla hair oil of our dreams: effective, lightweight (a.k.a. not greasy and easy to wash out), and safe for sensitive skin.

Key Benefits

GOOD TO KNOW: In addition to using as a treatment, you can also use a few drops on the fly to style your hair and smooth frizz.

Highlighted Ingredients

• Amla Extract has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties that may help soothe a dry or flaky scalp and protect hair from environmental stressors (you know, stuff like pollution, UV radiation, and dust). It is also generally believed to prevent hair loss and promote new hair growth. TL;DR: a true beautitasker.

• Coconut Oil has a unique blend of fatty acids and vitamins that protect and repair your hair. A special shout out to lauric acid in particular — it’s so obsessed with hair proteins that it actually penetrates into the hair shaft, which is why coconut oil is such an effective provider of long-lasting moisture.

• Apricot Oil is super high in Omega 9 essential acids, which help keep hair moisturized and supple. It’s also a humectant, which means it absorbs small amounts of water from the air’s humidity that may help maintain a barrier of hydration inside each strand of hair and on your scalp.

• Orange Peel is chock-full of antioxidants that are believed to have natural hair-conditioning properties. It may also reduce dandruff and manage excess oil on your scalp. Oh, and did we mention it smells amazing? 

• Kalonji Oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties that may help resolve scalp imbalances such as eczema and psoriasis. It also contains high amounts of an antihistamine called — fun word alert! — thymoquinone, which is believed to promote hair growth.
