You’ll find a lot of discussion forums talking about the importance of keeping your hair nourished with the help of oil. While most hair extension blogs just mention the use of oil and the benefits of it, not many of them point out exactly which ones give exceptional results; especially for those with hair extensions in place!

If you’ve got Remy hair extensions, you’re probably aware of the fact that not every product out there is great for your hair. To get promising results with silky and smooth hair that’s healthy, you need to be picky about the products (and oils) you expose them to.

Here are some of the best oils for Remy hair extensions:

Argan Oil

This Moroccan oil’s quite literally known as liquid gold, the world over. Extracted from the fruit of the Argan tree, Argan oil is a premium ingredient in hair and beauty products. Known for its heavy concentration of healthy fatty acids and rich in vitamin E, this hair oil is one of the best choices to rejuvenate the health of your hair.

You don’t really need more than a couple of drops of Argan oil to replenish the nutrients in your hair or to give it a shine. With regular use, Argan oil helps soothe down frizzy hair. And since it’s not excessively oily, you can use it after washing and drying your hair, to give it softness and sheen.

Coconut Oil


Those of us who choose to reap the benefits of protective styling with weaves and sew-ins know how much our hair needs to stay hydrated. Coconut oil is rich in nutrients and healthy saturated fats. For those of us who suffer from a dry scalp, time and time again, coconut is Heaven–sent nourishment!

This hair oil helps nourish the hair while repairing damage, allowing for hair to thicken and helps combat hair loss. Coconut oil is typically just applied to the length of your hair, although you can apply it to the scalp as well, in case you have a dry scalp.

You should ideally leave it in for about 30 minutes before you wash and rinse it out.

Castor Oil

Pledged the world over as a miraculous oil to help in the regrowth and thickness of hair, castor oil is packed with minerals, vitamin E and proteins. These nutrients accelerate hair growth. For your Remy hair extensions, a couple of drops (not more, since it’s very oily) will give it the perfect shine.

Since castor oil has a viscous consistency, it would help to combine it with another oil to achieve an easier to apply texture.
