Fact or Fiction: The Truth About Hair Oils
They call it Youth Dew—our Scented Organic Hair Oil—and for good reason. This isn’t just another gloss in a bottle. It’s a treatment rooted in the Law of Similars—the principle that “like treats like.” In haircare terms? Pure oils rebalance your scalp’s own oils, teaching it calm instead of chaos.
But with so much misinformation surrounding hair oils, it’s time to separate the myths from the magic.
Let’s play a little game of Fact or Fiction.
“It’s just a styling oil.”
→ Fiction.
Most styling oils simply coat the hair with silicones to mimic gloss. The result is temporary — artificial shine that hides damage rather than healing it.
Our certified organic Scented Organic Hair Oils are different. It’s an alchemy of cold-pressed certified organic oils that penetrate deeply to restore vitality from the inside out.
The Science Behind the Shine:
Cold-pressing retains up to 80% more antioxidants and vitamins than heat-processed oils. This means your hair receives the nutrients it actually needs for regeneration.
Key Ingredients – Scented Organic Hair Oil (Amber Rose):
-
Safflower Seed Oil – rich in linoleic acid, deeply moisturises and strengthens.
-
Rosehip Fruit Oil – high in vitamins A, C, and E for repair and regeneration.
-
Argan Kernel Oil – a source of vitamin E and essential fatty acids to protect and soften.
-
Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil – one of the most nutrient-dense ingredients on earth, containing over 190 active compounds and rare Omega 7, which supports elasticity and cellular renewal.
-
Damask Rose Oil – calms the scalp and adds luminous shine.
-
Rose Geranium Flower Oil – balances oil production.
-
Sweet Orange Peel Oil – brightens mood and stimulates circulation.
-
Ylang Ylang Flower Oil – regulates sebum and enhances growth.
-
Patchouli Leaf Oil – locks in moisture and improves resilience.
-
Goji Berry Extract – antioxidant protection against environmental damage.
This isn’t surface-level beauty — it’s transformation you can feel.
“It smells divine because of synthetic fragrance.”
→ Fiction.
Our scent is entirely natural — an aromatherapeutic infusion of organic botanicals that soothe the mind while nourishing the hair.
The Amber Rose blend combines Damask Rose, Ylang Ylang, Sweet Orange, Geranium, and Patchouli — each chosen for their balancing and mood-lifting properties.
This is slow beauty in action: a sensorial pause that reconnects you with nature and yourself.
“It can actually rejuvenate hair over time.”
→ Fact.
Absolutely.
Our oils are rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants that protect, repair, and reprogram your scalp’s natural rhythms.
How it works:
-
Antioxidants neutralise free radicals that cause follicle ageing.
-
Essential fatty acids (Omega 3, 6, 7 & 9) rebuild the lipid barrier, restoring elasticity.
-
Vitamin-rich oils improve circulation and strengthen the follicle for resilient growth.
Regular oiling is essentially skincare for your scalp — helping it age beautifully alongside you.
“Conventional hair oils outperform organic ones.”
→ Fiction.
Science says otherwise.
Certified organic oils are far more potent than conventional alternatives — they contain higher concentrations of antioxidants, vitamins, and phytonutrients because they’re grown in living soil, free from pesticides.
Example: Sea Buckthorn
This golden-orange oil in our original Youth Dew contains over 190 active compounds, including vitamin C, beta-carotene, and rare Omega 7. Together, these strengthen the scalp barrier and boost collagen — key to maintaining fuller, shinier hair as we age.
By contrast, synthetic oils often rely on silicones to simulate smoothness, which can clog follicles and block true hydration.
Nature doesn’t imitate beauty — it creates it.
“Hair oils make oily hair worse.”
→ Fiction.
Here’s where the Law of Similars comes to life: applying oil to the scalp can actually reduce excess oil over time. When the scalp receives the nourishment it craves, it no longer needs to overproduce sebum.
That’s why we created The Fine & Oily Hair Oil — a lightweight, balancing blend that purifies without heaviness.
Key Ingredients – Fine & Oily Hair Oil:
-
Hempseed Oil – hydrates and strengthens while controlling oil production.
-
Rosehip Fruit Oil – repairs and regenerates.
-
Jojoba Oil – closely mimics natural sebum, rebalancing the scalp.
-
Broccoli Seed Oil – a natural alternative to silicone for lightweight gloss.
-
Damask Rose Oil – enhances shine and scalp health.
-
Sweet Orange Flower Oil & Lemon Oil – gently clarify and add brilliance.
-
Benzoin – antimicrobial protection and soothing comfort.
Result: volume, lightness, and a scalp that stays cleaner for longer.
“Curly or dry hair doesn’t need oiling.”
→ Fiction.
Curly and dry hair are thirsty by nature — craving deep hydration that water alone can’t deliver. Enter our Curly & Dry Hair Oil, designed to infuse moisture, seal the cuticle, and protect curls from frizz.
Key Ingredients – Curly & Dry Hair Oil:
-
Apricot Kernel Oil – seals in moisture and boosts shine.
-
Soybean Oil – rich in vitamin E for softness and strength.
-
Avocado Oil – deeply nourishes with oleic acid and B vitamins.
-
Broccoli Seed Oil – smooths texture and adds definition.
-
Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil – nutrient powerhouse for repair and elasticity.
-
Damask Rose Oil & Geranium – soothe scalp and balance oil.
-
Lemon & Neroli Oils – cleanse gently and add luminosity.
Curls become smooth, hydrated, and defined — never heavy.
“Organic oils can’t deliver professional results.”
→ Fiction.
Every Tabitha JK product was born from a professional salon — so high performance is non-negotiable. Each oil is certified by the Soil Association and COSMOS, vegan, cruelty-free, and made without water to ensure maximum potency.
Because true luxury isn’t synthetic — it’s sustainable.
The Ritual
For midlife women, where hormones shift and scalp changes follow, oiling is more than a treatment — it’s a ritual of reconnection.
To use:
-
Warm one pump in your hands.
-
Massage gently into the scalp and through the mid-lengths.
-
Leave for 30 minutes (or overnight).
-
Wash as usual.
Over time, you’ll see not just healthier hair — but calmer mornings, brighter energy, and a restored sense of self.
Final Thought
Fiction: You can fake healthy hair with synthetic shine.
Fact: Real radiance comes from balance — and balance comes from nature.
So next time you reach for a quick fix, pause. Take a breath.
And remember: your hair — like you — thrives when it’s nurtured, not rushed.
