nanoil hair oil our review and tests

Two Heads, Two Hair Types and Two Nanoils – Double Test!

Girls, today’s post is a bit different. My friend Caroline got involved in the article. I needed Caroline (her hair, in fact). My fine and quite healthy hair is in a better condition so her dry and (as she said) straw-like hairdo is a perfect material for testing two new Nanoil hair oils I bought.

I love natural oils in hair care. I think there’s nothing better for conditioning and repairing hair. I oil my hair regularly and can’t imagine hair care without it. Oils penetrate the parts of the hair that a regular conditioner, mask or balm can’t reach. An ideal hair oil takes care of hair bulbs because it can be applied to the scalp. Hair becomes healthy from roots to ends.

Nanoil high porosity

To be honest, I was looking forward to receiving the package and testing them. The design of the oils is enchanting. The ingredients and choice of oils were also a positive surprise. Why did I order two oils out of the three versions available on the website (nanoil.co.uk)? You’ll be surprised. One thing, I’m practical and like the fact I pay less for two products. Although the online porosity test told me my hair has medium porosity, I know my hair and how it behaves. Besides, I made it a point of honor to save Caroline’s brittle, stiff and over-processed hair. I wanted to show her there was hope for her bleached strands.

I got Nanoil package very quickly, two days after placing the order. I must say… the oils look as spectacular in reality as they do on the website. They’re amazing. But… does the beautiful design reflect the beauty inside the bottle? In this case, it does!

Nanoil - my choose

Then, I called Caroline and made a date on one weekend evening to have at least two hours for hair oiling, a good movie and chatting.

Before the hair oil treatment, Caroline listened to a short and straightforward talk about hair, porosity, oils and their particles. Surprisingly, she listened very attentively. Let me present you the things I told her. It will be useful for those who begin their adventure with oils and hair oiling.

nanoil best oil for hair

To provide hair with maximum care, you must wisely choose products. We have different types of hair, which is most visible when you look at the cuticle scales covering the hair. The tighter the cuticle layer, the healthier the hair. The gaps and holes in the external layer of scales define hair porosity. If you want to nourish our hair properly, you should use natural oils – their particles have the ability to match each of the three types of hair porosity. They penetrate between the scales and nourish hair inside and outside. You must pick an oil composed of particles that match your hair porosity (like two elements of a puzzle). Sadly, a mismatched oil can weigh hair down or make it frizzy.

That’s why I think Nanoil hair oil is a revolutionary and brilliant product. Finally, somebody thought about hair and its needs! Nanoil hair oils match hair structure so that it can make the most out of the treatment. Each of the three versions is made up of properly and precisely composed oils enriched with lots of extra substances (also matching the needs of a given porosity type). You can clearly see that someone smart has created Nanoil.

Nanoil - hair oiling

Let’s go back to oiling:

We applied Nanoil in the evening, covering the scalp and each strand evenly. I made sure Caroline wasn’t applying the whole bottle 🙂 Oils shouldn’t drip off the hair but cover it gently instead. Nanoil has a lightweight consistency so it’s thick and very easy to apply. 4 pumps were enough for one oiling. Caroline used 5-6 pumps for her dry and long hair.

We decided that two hours were enough for the first oiling with a new product. Next, we washed off Nanoil (me – medium porosity version, Caroline – Nanoil for high porosity hair).

We blow-dried the hair to get quicker effects.

I must admit I didn’t see wow effect on my hair after the first oiling but Caroline’s hairdo was dazzling! Her hair was no longer coarse and straw-like; it got elastic, shiny and supple. Caroline applied two more drops of the oil to ends to make them smooth. I looked at her and knew… Nanoil will always be with her.

And me? I was jealous of the effects and did another oiling two days later but I used Nanoil for high porosity hair this time. It was a jackpot! My fine and weak hair must have needed a larger dose of power, and bigger and heavier particles.

After the second oiling treatment, my hair was luminous and elastic, very smooth and soft to the touch. No longer frizzy or tangled.

Nanoil hair oil – how do I use it?

Nanoil - how to use

Now, I use Nanoil for medium and high porosity by turns. I use them to oil my hair: apply and leave in overnight and wash off in the morning (the oil is easy to wash with a delicate SLS-free shampoo). When I don’t have so much time or I know I’ll be in a rush in the morning, I leave the oil for 1-2 hours or at least 30 minutes, and always wash it off with a shampoo. When I know I’ll blow-dry my hair, I apply a drop of Nanoil to hair tips to protect them from heat damage. The oil doesn’t work for me as a serum applied to dry strands… my hair is easily weighed down. On the other hand, Caroline applies 2-3 drops of Nanoil to dry hair and it really works: it’s easier to style and makes hair look much better.

Nanoil hair oil – effects

Smooth, shiny and nourished hair full of bounce – this is what Nanoil presents us with at the very beginning. After a month of use, I’m delighted. My hair hasn’t been so beautiful for a long time. What’s more, I noticed that tiny hair on my forehead (that always bothered me) started growing!

Nanoil hair oil – effects

In other words, I checked it myself, Nanoil is something more than natural oils. It’s a beautifying and healing hair product. The oil repairs and boosts growth. Recommend to all girls! Without exception!

Lastly… a few tips

If you don’t know your hair porosity, there are lots of online tests that will help you choose the right oil version. Remember: if your hair has medium porosity yet it leans towards weak and thin hair, you can freely reach out for Nanoil for high porosity hair – a stronger dose of repair plus keratin and lanolin.

Nanoil website gives you detailed info on hair porosity and the ingredients of each version. You must take a look!

    I’m happy to come across your article! I got Nanoil as a present and last night I used it for the first time. I kept it just for an hour because I was so impatient 😉 and at first there was no wow effect. Now I know that I have to apply it one more time and for 2 hours this time 😀 Thanks 🙂

    I’m extremely lazy and don’t want to get into all this hair oiling but I have very dry hair, that is why I apply a bit by the end of blow drying and hair look great 🙂

    It best to apply it overnight, go to bed in a towel and wash it down in the morning. Then you don’t have to apply any conditioner.

      As it happens, oils are very old hair care method. In the past women used it to take care of their hair. Now we luckily go back to these methods more and more.

      There’s no comparison! Hair after you use oil is so much better than after the conditioner. Check it yourself and you’ll see.
