Bad hair days no more.

We're in the heat of summer, literally, and the sun is strong. We can promise you that your hair is feeling the heat. Overexposure to the sun can dry out your hair, stripping it of its natural moisture. And even in the other seasons, you may be drying out your hair with hot styling tools, harsh chemicals, and overall aging. Thus, the need for hair oil.

Hair oil can help prevent breakage, as well as add shine, moisture, and luster. We spoke to Arielle Perez, senior stylist and colorist at one of New York's top salons, Vidov West, who filled us in on everything you need to know about using hair oil. " It can double as a product to blow-dry into the hair or as a finisher to add a bit more shine," Perez says. When choosing your oil, she adds that it should be "specifically refined for absorption into the hair so it doesn't weight it down. (Virgin coconut oil is out! It can cause buildup!) Always start off with half a pump to see how much your hair really needs, and keep it toward the mid-shaft and ends of your hair."

Armed with this hair oil knowledge, we rounded up the 11 best hair oils to keep your hair hydrated and healthy all day long. Say goodbye to bad hair days for good.

Coming in as Perez's favorite, Davines's hair oil is top of the line. "It’s so lightweight but packs a punch!" Perez says. She adds, "It actually absorbs into the hair, adding softness, instead of just sitting on it. I finish off all my blowouts and cuts with this oil,-and the smell is amazing!"
