Top 11 Oil Blends For Type 2 Wavy Hair
By Diane Mary · Updated February 8, 2015
Oil blends and serums are incredibly versatile–you can use them as a sealer on wet hair or to enhance dry hair. You can use them as a pre-poo treatment prior to cleansing, before blow-drying to protect your hair from the blow dryer’s heat, as a finishing product to help control and smooth your style or as a touch up on second, third, fourth day hair and beyond to add back shine and help control frizz and flyaways.

A lot of these products also treat and nourish the hair thanks to the benefits of the oils and ingredients inside. Here are some great oil blends for wavy hair.

Briogeo Rosarco Oil

One of my favorite oil blends. This is a blend of rosehip, argan and coconut oils. It penetrates the hair shaft to deliver intensive hydration and nutrients while enhancing shine and vibrancy and smells delicious- very sweet and fresh. It is silicone and paraben free and concentrated- a little goes a very long way.

L’Oreal Mythic Oil: Rich

There are several customized versions of this oil, the one I am referring to here is “Rich Oil” which is designed to give “complete control over rebellious hair” My hair is the most unruly in the world and as soon as my hairdresser used some of this on my last blow out I was so impressed I bought it right then and there (I usually wait, go home and search online to buy it cheaper”> I was literally speechless seeing the puff and frizz on my ends magically decrease. This is made with Rice Bran and Argan oils to provides intense nourishment to make hair more manageable, create a smooth results for an easier blow-dry and quickly absorbs into the hair for intense yet lightweight control, allowing your hair body, if desired.

Ojon Rare Blend Oil

Ojon™ gathered several potent natural oils legendary for their “great healing powers” and infused them into 3 hair-reparative phases: Amber, Crystal and Red. It is important to mix the 3 together before applying. This oil protects and nourishes to repair and transform dull, dry or damaged hair to vibrant health. Hair instantly looks glossier, shinier; suddenly feels softer, silkier, more luxurious. Plus, it smells like coffee! We like that this oil is available in 3 different formulas: light, medium & thick textures. If you have fine hair or a very loose wave, then you’ll probably want to stick to the light.

Watch our editor Devri’s full review of this blend here.

Bumble & Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil

Light-weight and quick-absorbing, this oil featuring a luxurious blend of six oils and two extracts that have a multitude of benefits including to soften, tame flyaways, and add shine immediately and over time. It also helps hair look and feel healthy, smooth, silky, and conditioned while controlling frizz and strengthening hair against breakage. It contains UVA/UVB filters that offer heat styling protection and is a clear formula- so it will not tint or alter any hair colors (yay for us blondes”>.

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum

This is one of my favorite products for blow drying wavy hair straight. It provides a smoother surface and tighter diameter which significantly reduce drying time and speed up styling time. The Super Skinny Complex penetrates deep into the hair shaft where it displaces water and constricts the hair. Lightweight silicones smooth, condition and seal hair with added shine.

Jane Carter Solution Scalp Nourishing Serum Scalp Fortifier

This is a maintenance product for anyone plagued with dry scalp. It is suggested that you use it as a “leave in” scalp nourisher. It is a hybrid safflower oil base, so you only need a small amount. The ylang ylang and cedar extracts reduce fungus and bacteria. The safflower oil sooths the scalp and restores it back to health. This product is 100% natural.

This is another one of my personal favorite oils to use. Super potent, it provides ultimate shine, softness and nourishment, strength and smoothness for all hair types. It contains Kerastase’s “Oleo Complex” of Maize, Pracaxi, Camellia and Argan Oils which also helps to promote cellular renewal with its anti-oxidant active ingredients. This makes a tremendous difference in the amount of frizz I have.
