We often prioritise skincare and mindfulness practices in life, whilst overlooking the one thing that we wear every single day: our hair. There is a profound psychological link between the health of our hair and our overall sense of wellbeing, as when our crown feels nourished, strong and glossy, it carries a ripple effect into our confidence and mental clarity.
So let’s take a closer look at Phoenix Crown Hair Oil; a purposeful, minimalist elixir designed to bridge the gap between simple grooming and a transformative self-care ritual…
What Is Hair Oil?
Phoenix Crown Hair Oil is a premium, lightweight hair treatment crafted with a less is more philosophy that I appreciate as someone who has fine and frizzy hair myself. A far cry from the long lists of synthetic fillers found in many commercial products, this hair oil relies on a potent blend of three powerhouse natural oils instead.
Argan oil is rich in citamin E and antioxidants to hydrate and protect the hair, whilst coconut oil is well known for its ability to penetrate the hair shaft, adding silkiness and preventing breakage. Finally linseed, or flaxseed, oil is the hidden gem that boosts elasticity and adds a mirror-like shine to locks.
Their formula is vegan friendly, cruelty-free, and free from silicones and parabens, making it an everyday luxury oil for all, conveniently bottled.
How It Works: The Science of the Seal
Damage often occurs when the outer layer of the hair cuticle is raised, allowing moisture to escape and environmental stressors to get in. Phoenix Crown Hair Oil works by smoothing these cuticles back down to create a natural heat barrier against styling tools and locking in moisture. By sealing the hair shaft, it prevents flash-drying from central heating or the sun, and tames flyaways by sealing frizz and split ends without the greasy residue associated with heavier oils.
Who Can Use It?
One of the standout features of this oil is its versatility, as It is formulated for use on all hair types from fine, straight strands to thick, 4C coils. It is specifically recommended for those looking to maintain the longevity and softness of luxury virgin hair extensions, and its natural antioxidants help to maintain colour vibrancy, on colour treated hair, by shielding it against UV damage.
Haircare For Wellbeing
If you have ever noticed how a bad hair day can dampen your mood, then it’s important to understand how our hair is a form of self-expression and identity. Taking five minutes to massage a hair oil into your mid-lengths isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s a mindful ritual. The act of touch, the subtle scent of the oil, and the visual reward of healthy looking hair can lower cortisol levels and provide a much-needed moment of calm in a busy day.
Seasonal Shift: Winter vs. Summer Haircare
Our hair’s needs naturally change as the pages of our calendar turns. In the winter, the air is more dry and indoor heating is aggressive, stripping moisture from the hair which leads to static hair and brittleness. During these months you can use hair oil as a pre-shampoo treatment, which you leave it in for an hour before washing, to provide a deep hydration boost that survives the cold weather.
In summertime, the focus shifts to UV protection and humidity, as summer hair often becomes puffy as it tries to suck moisture from the humid air. A few drops of hair oil on dry hair acts as a shield, blocking out excess humidity and protecting strands from the drying effects of the sun and salt water.
How To Incorporate Hair Oil into Your Routine
Hair oil can be used on damp or dry hair, as well as an intensive mask as and when needed. On damp hair you can apply 2–3 drops after washing to detangle and protect the hair from heat styling. On dry hair you only need a single drop to smooth over any flyaways and add a final polish to your look. And for Sunday resets, I like to apply my hair oil generously from root to tip and leave it on overnight to deeply revitalise my scalp and strands for a glossy Monday morning.
Our hair is undoubtedly every woman’s crown. Whether we’re shielding it from the winter frost or soothing it from the scorching summer sun, a few drops of hair oil ensures that our crown will never lose its lustre. Wishing you all a great hair day!
