Let's Talk Oils: Grapeseed Oil

In my opinion grapeseed oil is an underdog when it comes to hair oil in the natural hair community. Most women prefer other common products such as olive or coconut oil. Grapeseed oil however can provide many benefits and is proven to be a great sealant if used properly. Grapeseed oil is extracted from the seeds of grapes and is often used in cooking. It's an odorless lightweight oil with a tinted green color. I've personally used grapeseed oil as a hot oil treatment and heat protectant. It gave my hair shine without feeling weighed down. It's loaded with fatty acids which makes it great for conditioning and strengthening hair. Don't fall asleep on grapeseed oil ladies!!! Here are some other benefits.
