I Am Having A Love Affair With Vitamin E Oil And I Do Not Care What My Other Oils Think About It

I have a confession, I have been walking right by the coconut oil* in the grocery store knowing full well I have no more in my cabinet at home…I have been cooking with my olive oil* and not stealing any of it for my hair…I have even had the nerve to turn my nose up at the grapeseed oil* they have on sale every other week even though I loved it the two times in my life that I tried it.

These days I have a new oil I have been playing with, our relationship happened by accident just like anything long lasting and worth blogging about.

I was looking for something to add to my son’s skin regimen to help him with his eczema. I use natural oils* on his skin and I try to keep his skin as moisturized as I can.

While looking at some of the products they have on the market, a bottle of vitamin E oil caught my eye. For your skin, this oil is as good as it gets and it was on sale so I grabbed two bottles.

His skin loves it, the brand I chose isn’t pure oil, while it had no harsh additives it did have a slight scent and made my son comfortable at night.

I already knew the other bottle was for me, after all the oil has some serious benefits for my own skin even though I do not suffer with any major ailments.

It is anti aging and we all know how great that is. It is also a great bath oil and the list goes on and on, but I know you are all here for the hair.

I added the oil to my hair for giggles I did it as an oil rinse one night and I added it to my hair as part of my night time routine on most nights the last few months and I have to say I LOVE it.

Before I spout off a bunch of stuff that sounds like endless rambling let me give you the low down under some headings so this post can look somewhat professional.

My hair is so soft

The quality of my hair strand has improved since using the oil. This means my hair is naturally shiny, feels smooth and soft and most of all not greasy.

You can tell when your hair strand is different, it looks different, it is stronger, it doesn’t snap easily and even your frizz looks amazing!

Vitamin E* when added to your oil mix or when used alone can improve the quality of your hair strand making your hair look and feel on point.

Great oil for scalp massages

I have pretty fine hair so light oils are really awesome for me when I want to use one on an everyday basis. The oil goes on light but is known for increasing circulation of blood to the scalp.

This means that for increased hair growth, using this awesome oil for massaging your scalp is ideal. For all of you women doing the inversion method to speed up growth it is time to sit right side up and just rub your scalp as normal. Or if you want to continue ‘inverting’ then try Vitamin E oil on for size to see the magic happen.

Great for scalp disorders

I do not have a scalp disorder so this is just an added benefit for me. If you are suffering from any sort of scalp ailment or even hair loss this oil can help you to add moisture and heal the scalp.

The scalp is an extension of the skin, and because vitamin E* helps with sunburns, cuts, psoriasis, eczema it can also help with any sort of scalp irritation including dry scalp.

Prevents premature greying

Remember when I mentioned ant-aging earlier, well that fact also extends to your hair. Vitamin E oil is known to prevent premature greying of the hair which might happen when you have oxidation of your tissues.

The antioxidants present in the oil prevents the corrosion of tissues and by extension reduces the chances of premature greying.

Repairs split ends

You did not hear this from me but it repairs split and damaged ends that might happen when your hair is constantly manipulated by heat, color, and curling.

Here is the thing, I do believe that as a preventative measure vitamin E oil can be great for fortifying the hair which will help it to withstand damage.

However if you already have split ends, the only cure is snip snip; removal and then treating your hair with care preventing damage.

Overall the oil can lead to dramatic improvements to the quality of your hair and when used alone or in conjunction with other oils, it can be pretty darn awesome. You did not think I would end this post without a recipe did you? Of course not!

An awesome vitamin E Hot Oil treatment

If you want to include vitamin E into your wash day, try a hot oil treatment with equal parts of vitamin E oil, olive oil*, coconut oil*, jojoba oil* and hemp oil*.

Make your oil mix and use an applicator bottle* to apply all over your hair. Don a plastic cap and use a over head dryer for about 20-30 minutes before you shampoo your hair.

This will be one of the most fabulous and simple hot oil treatments you can try on your hair, and while you are at it, add a little to your skin as well.

Have you tried pure vitamin E* lately?
