The hair oils we’ve picked are lightweight yet moisturising to maintain a balance of hydration and shine throughout the day. They aren’t just for thick, coarse manes; fine frizzy hair can reap its benefits too.

Not just prized for their dietary benefits, chia seed oil, and honey extract are antioxidant-rich ingredients that moisturise and soothe the hair. Botaneco Garden also uses plant keratin, crambe abyssinica seed oil, and sesame oil to protect the hair against heat and sun rays.
