If you've been searching for a lighter hair oil that won't weigh your hair down, grapeseed oil probably came up. It's one of the most talked about ingredients in botanical hair care right now, and it happens to be one of the key oils in The Formula. Here's what it actually does and how to use it.
What grapeseed oil does for hair
Grapeseed oil comes from the seeds left over after wine making. It's a light oil that soaks in fast instead of sitting on top of your hair. That makes it a good fit for people with fine, thin, or oily hair who want moisture without the heavy, greasy feeling some oils leave behind. It's rich in vitamin E and linoleic acid, both of which support a healthy scalp, and a healthy scalp is the starting point for healthy hair.
The benefits people look for
Lightweight and fast absorbing with no greasy residue. Helps lock in moisture without weighing hair down. Rich in vitamin E, which supports scalp health. Gentle enough to use every day. Works on all hair types, especially fine or oily hair.
How to use grapeseed oil on your hair
A little goes a long way. Start with 2 to 3 drops in your palms, rub your hands together to warm the oil, then work it through your scalp and the length of your hair. If your scalp runs dry, you can use it daily. If it's normal to oily, every other day or 3 to 4 times a week works better. It can go on wet or dry hair, and it layers well with other botanical oils like rosemary.

Common questions
Can I use grapeseed oil on my hair every day?
Yes, especially if your scalp runs dry. If your hair is naturally oily, every other day is usually enough.
Does grapeseed oil help hair grow?
No single oil makes hair grow on its own.
What it does is support a healthier scalp, which is the foundation hair growth depends on. Pairing it with a stimulating oil like rosemary, the way The Formula does, is a more complete approach.
Is grapeseed oil good for fine or thin hair?
Yes. Because it's lightweight, it's one of the better oils for fine or thin hair that gets weighed down easily.
