Best Oil for Keratin Treated Hair
Argan oil
My first choice for keratin-treated hair is Argan oil. This is the oil produced from the kernels of plant Argania Spinosa.
It comprises of 80% monosaturated fatty acid, and 20% saturated fatty acid. These acid nourish your skin barrier to soften it. Additionally, it contains an anti-inflammatory compound like polyphenol that combats inflammation.
Talking about hair, when it is applied to the hair shaft, it reduces the loss of a protein that prevents your cuticle from being damaged.
Apart from it, this oil also protects your hair from heat and hygral fatigue. Aside from that, it contains an emollient property that softens your hair, conditions it, and keep it hydrated.
If you are interested, I will recommend you to use FoxBrim Organic Argan oil.
The best feature of this argan oil is that it completely removes frizziness and makes your hair healthy. It also works exceptionally well for damaged hair from straightening.
However, if you have severe dermatitis, you must skip the use of this oil.
How to apply it?
- Take 1-2 drops of argan oil, depending upon your hair type, after a keratin treatment.
- Apply it to the ends of your hair
- Make sure that it reaches all across your hair.
- Let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Wash it with sulfate-free shampoos.
Coconut oil
Coconut oil is a natural oil extracted from mature coconut that you can use in your hair as a moisturizer.
It has a structure of a low molecular weight that is rich in triglycerides. Specifically, it is very rich in triglyceride lauric acid.
Due to these compounds it provides shine to your hair. Additionally, it also repairs damaged strands of your hair.
It also controls hygral fatigue.
Generally, when you blow-dry your wet hair with a hairdryer -the cuticles saturated with water get removed quickly. As a result, it ruffles the hair cuticle and results in hair breakage.
But when you apply coconut oil, it penetrates the hair very well and seals the cuticles preventing the damage of it.
Although, it can’t totally control the damage but reduces it by 48%.
If you are interested, I will recommend you to use Pura d’Or coconut oil.
What I like about this hair oil is that it completely removes dryness and keeps my hair hydrated. My hair looks healthy afterward, using this oil.
Apart from it, this oil is completely fragrance less, thus blends with keratin-treated hair.
This oil is not too heavy and doesn’t leave any stain as well. Thus, I will recommend this oil to be perfect oil to use with keratin-treated hair.

- Please take a few drops of it.
- Apply it in a circular motion and massage it
- Comb it to make sure that it evenly applies all across your hair

- Wash it with a sulfate-free shampoo.
Olive oil
Olive oil is extracted by grinding olives. It contains 70% monosaturated oleic acid and 15% polyunsaturated linoleic acid with a small amount of fatty acid.
Due to these compounds, it totally removes frizziness, control water loss, moisturizes it, shines it, and keeps it healthy.
I recommend you to use pure olive oil if you have dry hair.
Not only that, but it is also suitable for removing dandruff.
Additionally, you can also use this oil to promote hair growth as well.
If you are interested, I recommend you to use Tropical holistic virgin organic olive oil.

This oil doesn’t contain any chemicals; thus is worthy of keratin-treated hair.

Conclusion
It is hectic to straighten your hair every day using a hot iron comb and straightener, right! As an alternative, you can use keratin treatment. It will last for about six months and will completely remove frizziness. Your hair will be easier to manage, and on top, the hair will shine and look fuller.
While doing keratin treatment, you can also use natural oils like argan oil, coconut oil, olive oil. They will retain the proteins and gives your hair an appealing look.
However, if you use chemically formulated oil – rather than having a sleek hair, you will have more frizzy and dry hair.
Thus, I recommend not to use any products after a keratin treatment. Although you do use it, you need to check its ingredients so that you will keep yourself away from chemicals.
