Sesame Oil: Where to look for it, how to replace it?

Sesame oil is extruded from well-known, generally available and common Sesame seeds. The tiny seeds hide the strength and power of the phytosterols, antioxidants, vitamins A, E, B6 and a range of minerals like calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc.

Such a selection of valuable elements makes the oil perfect for hair. The diversity of vitamins prevents excessive hair loss, premature greying and loss of resilience. Minerals ensure protection, nourishment, reinforcement and are able to replenish cavities in the hair structure.

Proper synchronisation of fatty acids (about 50% of omega-9 palmitic acid and 37% of omega-6 linoleic acid) makes it perfect for dry, damaged hair of low porosity as well as for thin, brittle, frizzy and falling out – medium porous.

Moreover, Sesame Oil provides protection against adverse weather conditions, and a range of harmful substances; it will also shield hair during blow-drying.

It is best to use Sesame oil in combination with other hair oils. This way your hair will gain even more benefits. Many oils abound in squalane – a very useful component that balances the sebum secretion on the scalp.

It is worth mentioning that Sesame Oil can slightly burden medium porosity hair. Therefore, in such case, a good alternative is to replace it with Argan Oil, Sweet Almond Oil or Olive Oil.

Many cosmetic companies offer hair care and styling products with a blend of several natural oils. If you are planning to purchase one of those products, keep on reading to find out what cosmetics are worth paying attention to.
