About the benefits of natural oils
Of course, heredity can not be fooled. If by nature you are given hair that is not very thick, then, as you can not contrive, and you can not make more splendid hair. However, not everything is so bad - not even the best hair can look amazing if they are healthy, well-groomed and put in the right hairstyle. By the way, their number on the head will not increase even with the most careful care, but they can look more voluminous. This effect will be achieved if your hair becomes elastic and shiny. This will help the oil. Hair - this is characteristic only for mammalian skin education. In their structure they resemble a tree, which has a trunk and a root. The root is hidden in a hair sac surrounded by tissues, blood vessels and glands. All together it forms a hair bulb. But the "aboveground" part is just the hair shaft visible to us, the condition of which largely depends on the nutrition of the hair follicle and the competent care of the scalp. The root of the hair is a living substance, and the part that protrudes above the scalp consists of dead cells-keratin. If we consider this part of the hair under a microscope, we can see that it looks like a hollow rod, the surface of which consists of tightly fitting scales. Between the scales there is a lubricant that affects the density of their fit and, ultimately, the appearance of our hairstyle. So, the use of oils is precisely that they feed the root, normalize the function of the sebaceous glands and improve the quality of the lubricant. And all this is due to the proteins contained in the oils and vitamins, fats and fatty acids, as well as mineral substances. Which of them is the best and most useful? Unequivocally this question can not be answered. After all, in different regions beauties used different oils. In Russia - burdock and linen, in Greece and the Mediterranean - olive, in the East - almond and coconut oil. But today all these useful oils are available and are quite inexpensive. And you can buy them in almost any pharmacy. 
Benefits of Burdock Oil
Burdock oil is considered a universal tool forcare of hair. It contains tannins, which give hair elasticity, useful fatty acids, stimulating their growth, vitamins, mineral salts and protein. This remedy can be called magical, its effect helps if hair falls out, relieves dry skin and dandruff, relieves itching, strengthens the roots, normalizes metabolism, restores damaged hair. With the systematic use of burdock oil, the hair ceases to become entangled and cut off at the tips. It is hypoallergenic, so it is suitable for the care of children's hair. Finished preparations of burdock oil are sold in each pharmacy, but you can prepare this miracle remedy yourself. To do this, you just need to find a fresh root of burdock and grind it on a grater or with a knife. The finished mass must be poured with refined sunflower oil in a ratio of 1 to 10 and leave the mixture in a dark place for a couple of weeks. At the end of this time, the infusion is filtered and used for masks. If you cook an infusion of olive or almond oil, then 1 part of the burdock root should take 3 parts of the oil. The mixture is left to infuse for a day, after which it is boiled and filtered. From burdock oil make nourishing masks. To do this, warm oil is rubbed into the scalp, wraps the head with a film and wrapped with a towel. Half an hour later, the film and towel are removed, the head is massaged, and the hair is combed, spreading the mask along their entire length. After 10 minutes, the remaining oil can be washed off with warm water.

Castor oil - strong and useful
Castor oil (castor oil, castor oil) strengthenshair, softens and nourishes the scalp, helps in the fight against dandruff, but do not recommend it as an independent tool.

But the composition of castor oil includes other useful acids: oleic and linoleic. Castor oil is recommended to be added to the composition of nutritious, moisturizing and firming masks.
