Below is a breakdown of all the ingredients in Arewa Hair Styling Oil. Since the oil is handmade fresh, I can customize the ingredients for you.
The only ingredients I would recommend switching up are the main carrier oils. If you don’t like a particular carrier oil, let me know HERE.
I’ll suggest a suitable effective oil to replace it with for you. There will be additional charges for customizing any of the ingredients.
Arewa Hair Styling Oil Ingredients
Vitis Vinifera (Grapeseed) Oil
Grapeseed oil is pressed from the seeds found in grapes after wine production. It contains vitamin E and F, minerals, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.
The oligomeric procyanidin contained in grapeseed oil binds to and facilitates the work of proteins in hair. It also prevents protein loss from hair. The oil is a light texture and is easily absorbed into the hair.
Ricinus Communis (Castor) Oil
Castor oil is cold-pressed from the castor bean native to Africa and Asia. Castor oil contains high amounts of ricinoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid found only in castor oil.
This acid has high levels of anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties. Castor oil also helps hair maintain moisture, combat frizz, and smoothen the cuticles
