How should the hair oil be used, and who is it particularly suitable for? — Vegetable cosmetic oil Wheat germ, 30 ml "AromaSaules"

Wheat germ oil is mainly suitable for dry, brittle or damaged hair, for example after colouring or regular hot styling. It helps to visibly reduce dryness, making strands more manageable and smooth.

Because of its dense texture it is important not to overdo it: for medium-length hair a small amount is usually enough. It is best to apply the oil to the ends, as they are the driest and most damaged, whereas applying it to the roots can make the hair look greasier.

There are several convenient ways to use it:

• Add a small amount to a ready hair mask or conditioner before applying it, which will boost the nourishing effect of your usual product.
• Apply a small amount to damp ends after washing your hair as a leave-in care.
• Use it as an express treatment: apply it to dry ends before bed and wash the hair in the morning.

The oil contains vitamin E and fatty acids, which create a thin protective layer on the hair surface and help reduce the effects of factors that make hair more fragile. This is especially relevant if the hair is often exposed to heat styling.
