For as long as I can remember me and hair oil have had a long standing love-hate relationship. My fine, thinning hair could only really handle the most lightweight options. Here’s every hair oil for thinning hair I’ve tried, honestly rated.
Hair oils for thinning hair: every one I’ve tried, rated
Kerastase Aura Botanical Essence Hair Oil Mist — my absolute favourite hair oil for thinning hair. Lightweight, silicone free, spritz from mid-length to ends. A spritz or two is all you need.
Kerastase Aura Botanica Concentre Essential — a thicker version, perfect as a pre-shampoo overnight treatment for both bio hair and toppers. Noticeably more bounce and softness.
Oribe Gold Lust Oil — big fat expensive nope. Felt more like silicone than oil, left me greasy and limp no matter how little I used. Sitting on the shelf gathering dust.
Ouai Hair Oil — decent, light, silicone-based option. My happy middle. Wouldn’t repurchase but it’s fine if you have it.
Kerastase Aura Botanica Baume — essentially scented coconut oil at a luxury price. You can get a tub of coconut oil anywhere for much cheaper and get the same effect.
Moroccanoil Treatment Light — a classic I used for a long time on my bio hair. Contains silicones so apply sparingly. Decent but I’ve since found things I prefer.
Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil — tiny bottle, huge results. Incredibly lightweight, fine hair friendly, and works amazingly on hair toppers. My Lusta topper eats this stuff up. Genuinely love it.
