The fact that broccoli is a product unique in its vitamin composition is known to many adherents of a healthy diet. But not everyone is familiar with the essential or base oils of broccoli. However, these natural remedies can quickly restore and strengthen the hair, and at the same time make it look amazingly shiny and silky.
Why is broccoli good for hair?
Most likely, you know the principle of the influence of synthetic silicones on the structure of your curls. It is these substances that are added to all cosmetic products that promise the effect of instant radiance and smoothness. And silicones really work, if you don't take into account that all this visual appeal is associated with a destructive effect on the cortex.
Essentially what you get is the notorious "Cinderella effect" and magically beautiful curls, close to the condition of the hair of advertising models, but from the inside, their structure is damaged and gradually destroyed. Hair begins to fall out, split, and simply acquire an unsightly, dry and lifeless appearance.
Broccoli oil is the very tool that will help you achieve the external action of fluids and balms with silicones without violating the strength, integrity and health of your hair. Broccoli seed oil has been used relatively recently, which means that it can hardly be found on the list of ingredients for old folk recipes.
But now girls are actively using it to take care of themselves. It is suitable not only for anointing the hair, but also for improving the quality characteristics of the skin of the face and strengthening the nail plates. This product is saturated with the most valuable nutrients and vitamins, which, moreover, easily and quickly penetrate into the hair scales or the pores of the epidermis.
Broccoli seed oil: properties and features
Broccoli oil is obtained by cold pressing its seeds. The essential oil is obtained by extracting the product using CO2. In the first case, the finished product retains all of its most valuable properties. It has a green tint of different intensity, depending on the method of obtaining. Such oil can be salad or marsh hue.
The product obtained by extraction traditionally has a pure golden color. Broccoli oil has a rather pleasant taste and smell.
It is very valuable for those who adhere to proper nutrition. But even this is not its most remarkable feature.
The health benefits of broccoli oil are legendary. It is really unique in its composition, and contains extremely important vitamins A, E, C and K in a fairly high concentration. It also contains micro and macro elements like calcium, potassium and iron.
The use of this base oil in food compensates for the deficiency of fats characteristic of classic diets, which include the rejection of fatty animal products.
The polyunsaturated fatty acids included in the nutritional composition of the oil deserve special attention:
- Erucovaya;
- Eicosene;
- Linoleic;
- Alpha linoleic;
- Stearic;
- Oleic;
- Palmetine.
In general, the composition of the oil is truly and without any exaggeration "rich".
This composition is remarkable not only for those who eat the product, but also for those who use it in home cosmetology.
As we have already said, the oil is able to provide the hair with the effect of using silicone-containing products, without damaging or destroying the curls. In addition, the oil is not able to make the hair heavier and “fatty” it, so even girls with characteristic problems can use it to restore hair.
Broccoli oil in hair care
So let's take a look at exactly what broccoli oil does for your hair:
- Effectively and quickly smoothes the surface of the hair, making it more straight, shiny and elastic;
- Moisturizes curls along the entire length, from roots to ends;
- Removes static stress (relevant for those whose hair is electrified from synthetic fabric or wool);
- Nourishes the scalp and hair shaft, saturating them with valuable and rare nutrients that are almost never found in other oils;
- Gives the hair a stunning, truly magical radiance;
- Provides curls with strength, firmness and elasticity;
- Literally “solders” split ends;
- Protects hair from negative external influences (thermal devices, styling products, aggressive household chemicals, ultraviolet radiation);
- Facilitates combing and other basic hair care procedures;
- Replaces full-fledged hair care and has the effect of lamination (subject to the rules of the cumulative effect).
In the wake of the general enthusiasm for the use of such a versatile and effective product, cosmetic corporations began to produce shampoos and balms with broccoli oil.
Many fans of this product have already managed to test all their advantages and disadvantages. Experienced people say that the balm, although it can not be compared with pure oil, is still worth using.

The medicinal properties of plants can eliminate many diseases. Therefore, oils and extracts are obtained from them. Broccoli is one such plant. From its seeds, oil is created, which is used in medicine and cosmetology. It contains vitamins, minerals and fatty acids. The product is used to create masks, massage.
Broccoli seed oil, unrefined, can be mixed with various esters. The product is similar in action to natural silicones, as it helps to smooth the skin, eliminate wrinkles. Curls acquire shine and a healthy look. Based on this component, a therapeutic hair balm is prepared.

Due to its medicinal properties, the oil is used to improve hair. It is easily absorbed, and after the procedure there are no unpleasant greasy marks. Ether can be used to care for all types of curls.
The healing properties of hair oil include:
- smoothing strands,
- improving the elasticity of curls,

Using a seed extract is similar to using a modern professional conditioner. The ether is perfectly absorbed and does not weigh down the curls. It is very easy to take care of it. After the procedure, the hair becomes smooth and elastic. The hood is great for treating curly strands. Hair balm will be an excellent care product.
Oil application
Masks, balms, hair conditioners are created from the vegetable ether. Broccoli extract is mixed with other esters, natural ingredients. To restore hair, you can use the following methods.
The remedy has become popular all over the world due to its effect on the condition of the skin and hair. It can serve as a replacement for a conventional air conditioner. Based on the product, a healing balm was created.
Balm use
Balm can be used to treat hair. A popular tool is the quality products of Olesya Mustaeva's Workshop. Products with a delicate texture are designed for skin and curls care. It does not contain parabens and mineral oils.
The balm does not contain silicones and harmful components. After its use, combing is facilitated, electrostatic stress is reduced, curls become soft. The balm is one of the "natural silicones", because with it the strands become shiny and durable. The product has undergone research, according to which it was found that it is similar to the action of silicones. As a result, the curls become shiny, smooth, soft.
The balm is enriched with a moisturizing complex and essential oils. The tool is economical to use. Apply the balm to clean hair with massage movements, and after a few minutes it should be washed off. Cosmetics are available in containers of 120 ml.
Applying oil to the skin
Broccoli oil can be used for different skin types. It has a calming, regenerating, moisturizing effect. The skin becomes shiny. The product is used for recovery after dermatological ailments. It is used to strengthen eyelashes, vessel walls, and eliminate varicose veins.
Other uses for hair
- This method is considered one of the simplest. You need to add some oil to the shampoo. The same can be done with a balm or conditioner. Even ordinary tools will be more useful.
- Perfectly works on curls combing. This procedure can replace the use of air conditioning. Hair becomes smooth and shiny. Continuous use enriches them with nutrients.
To do this, you need a wooden comb. A little ether is applied to it, after which you can comb each strand. Wash your hair after this procedure is not worth it. The product is completely safe. - To perform the wrap, you will need to mix ether (1 spoon) with olive oil (2 spoons). The composition must be heated so that the beneficial substances are better absorbed. Then it needs to be distributed over dry curls. After warming, 1 hour should pass, and then the hair should be washed. You need to perform the procedure after 3 days.
Good afternoon, my dear friends and readers! ღღღ
Probably, there is not a single person left on the Aircommend website who has not heard about the miraculous properties of broccoli oil - natural silicone , as everyone likes to call it. I will tell and show you the effect of broccoli oil not only on the hair, but also on the skin of the face . Unfortunately, I did not see the latest information in this thread.
Where can I buy: on Aroma-Zone (French online store of natural cosmetics, components for soap and cream making). But delivery there is very expensive, at least to me in Kazakhstan. That's why I personally buy products from this wonderful site. in a joint venture with Aroma-Zone in Kazakhstan (if interesting, I will give a link to the VKontakte group). It turns out much more profitable, since orders from a certain amount are sent for free. You can also look at other IMs in your country that usually resell Aroma-Zone products.
Price: depends on volume. Broccoli oil is sold in two volumes - 10 ml. costs 1.50 euros , A for 30 ml. will have to pay for 4.50€. All prices are inclusive of VAT, but again I repeat that I indicate prices with VAT (VAT), which apply only to residents of EU countries, and for you and me on the site you can calculate the cost without VAT by entering your country in the appropriate box.
Package: I have 30 ml. bottle and he must say quite comfortable.
This is, firstly, the correct bottle is made of dark glass (!), not plastic
, like many other oils from Aroma-Zone.
What is very important to me the bottle has a dropper.
How I miss such a simple dropper from other bottles from this site!
The bottle had first opening control.
I like the design of the bottle. Information on a minimum, but the most necessary is. There is a composition, expiration date, batch number, but the place of growth and from which part of the plant the oil was obtained, like other oils, is not indicated. Although it is no brainer that broccoli oil is obtained from seeds.
Compound: 100% pure broccoli oil first cold pressed
100% Brassica oleracea italica oil
The composition of the oil from the Aroma-Zone website. Translation made by Google.
Composition of fatty acids - Gas phase chromatography:
- Essential fatty acids polyunsaturated (PUFA or AGE) or vitamin F: linoleic acid (omega-6) (11.08%), linolenic acid (11.79%), éicosenoïque acids (4.05%)
- Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) : erucic acid (45.92%), oleic acid (omega-9) (8.74%)
- Saturated Fatty Acids (AGS): Palmitic Acid (3.31%)
Best before date: listed on the bottle and website. There are also codes on the bottles, and how to decipher them is indicated on the site itself. So, in these codes, the dates of manufacture and the expiration date are also encrypted.
Tek stura, smell, taste: by consistency it yellow oil.
It has bright cabbage smell.
This odor can be masked by the use of essential oils and disappears fairly quickly after application.
Which is absolutely accurate information and verified from our own experience.
And immediately ABOUT MY INITIAL DATA.
About my skin: problematic, sensitive, oily , But there are also peelings, with enlarged pores, black dots, permanent rashes, age spots and rosacea.
About my hair: mixed type - oily roots, dry ends, hair thin, curly, tinted with henna.
From the manufacturer: translated by google.
Broccoli vegetable oil is a true source of natural shine And softness for your hair.
His action comparable to silicones and gives the hair softness And shine without weighing them down.
His smoothing effect allows you to control small curls and curls. Broccoli vegetable oil facilitates combing with a brush.
it's the same excellent source of nutrients for hair and skin.
My impressions:
If in all previous reviews of oils I wrote "BEFORE USING THE OIL, IT IS MANDATORY TO DO A SENSITIVITY TEST!", then here I don’t even know if it makes sense to write like this, because This oil is intended for dry and irritated skin.
In general, I ordered this oil, so to speak, "to the heap." Well, like "where everything is, there I am." After all The reviews for this oil are fantastic. Planned to use for hair as a "natural silicone". Although my hair, to be honest, loves ordinary silicones. And at first this oil lay idle, because skepticism about this oil did not subside in my soul. Then I started using broccoli face oil
I use it in its purest form. , that is, I do not make oil blends of mixtures.
I would like to point out right away that broccoli oil - very light , I can compare it in lightness with papaya oil. Therefore, with my oily skin, it went with a bang! It has an excellent absorbent effect and does not leave a feeling of the presence of a film on the face after application. The main thing is to apply it correctly! A I apply oils EXCLUSIVELY ON WET SKIN! Or immediately after washing or, by blotting your face with a towel, then I spray thermal water or hydrolat on my face, and then oil. With this application, the oil, firstly, easy to distribute , and secondly, absolutely does not overload the already oily skin.
Concerning effects of this oil on problem skin , then it does not aggravate her condition at all. Does not clog pores, does not provoke inflammation. But it doesn't cure breakouts either. But it reduces the activity of the sebaceous glands.
In addition, it perfectly nourishes the skin.
Here's what I found about broccoli oil...
The use of this tool is also possible for the skin on the face of a sensitive type. This is due to the high concentration of vitamin E and fatty acids in broccoli oil. With it, you can achieve an amazing effect for the face.
- Softening and deep moisturizing of the skin surface.
- Elimination of redness and irritation.
- Elimination of peeling and cracking of the skin.
- Smoothing out small wrinkles that lie in the area around the eyes.
I just have sensitive skin. Here eliminate redness and irritation , By the way, didn't notice at all. Concerning smoothing wrinkles in the eye area , then with good care I have them and so imperceptibly. Think, broccoli oil also contributes to this.
Besides , this oil is recommended for use in rosacea.Even the bottle says "strengthens capillaries". So far, I don’t see any obvious progress, I don’t use it regularly, but rather from time to time. Perhaps otherwise there would be a noticeable result.
This is what my skin looks like with broccoli oil.
Now my skin is not in the best condition, but still better than when I did not use oils at all.
In general, I believe that 30+ oils in skin care are a must! And oily skin is no exception! However, this is just my humble opinion.)
To enhance the effect of using broccoli oil, you can make an oil mixture with fats that have a transport function. These products include shea or jojoba butter, cocoa, coconut and macadamia nuts. By applying these oils, you can also massage the skin on your face every evening.
So, putting aside all your skepticism, I decided to try broccoli hair oil as a leave-in. When applied receded from the roots and applied only to the length. And of course, on still wet hair!
In the process of applying, I still could not believe in the miraculous outcome of this case. I did not believe until the last in the promised effect, but it turns out it is.
Let's Let's compare the effect of broccoli oil and the well-known silicone leave-in. I have the most common from Avon. But in the photo with Avon leave-in, the hair is dried with a hair dryer, and with broccoli oil in a natural way, so the hair is not so smooth.
Here's what I found about broccoli hair oil...
This product contains a large amount of fatty acids, which include two fairly rare species, eicosenoic and erucic acid. The use of these acids together with carotenoids and vitamin complexes, which are also part of the oil, has an amazing effect on the hair.
- Bulb strengthening.
- Eliminate static electricity from hair.
- Facilitates styling and combing.
- The effect is similar to the effect of silicone, but without weighing down the hair.
- Fat control.
- Gives smoothness, elasticity and shine.
From all this I can say that hair is combed and styled as easily as after silicone products. Hair is really smooth, shiny, elastic. Everything is true here.
But everything else regarding the strengthening of the bulbs and the control of fat content , then I can not say anything, because I did not use this oil in masks.
True oil keeps the tips in decent shape.
Summing up, I will say that broccoli oil is really worth a try! It is universal - suitable for both face and hair. I think everyone will find his most effective use for it. That's why I recommend!
Not necessarily this brand of oil, but just I trust this brand 100% and I can confidently say that oils are of the highest quality. , and at affordable prices, even with the current exchange rate.
Thank you for your attention to my review! ツ

If you start using conditioner with broccoli oil, supplementing such regular care with lubricating curls with a clean product, you will soon be able to heal even the most “killed” hair by paints and styling.
Oil should be used immediately after shampooing. Simply apply it neat to damp hair and comb through with a wide-toothed wooden or plastic comb all the way through. This method is acceptable for the laziest.
And of course, if you do not shy away from using homemade masks for the effective treatment of curls, add this oil to their usual composition as the main component. It is very useful to combine it with egg yolk, rose or tea tree essential oil, even natural clay!
Honey mask lovers can diversify their usual broccoli oil treatments for truly delicious results.
Transform and let your hair shine with health!

Broccoli Hair Oil
Silicone is a unique material. Wherever it is used. Including it was widely used in cosmetologists, especially in hair products.
But it smells strongly of something artificial, unnatural. Therefore, there is no complete confidence in its safety.
Broccoli Hair Oil is an excellent substitute for this very silicone.
Broccoli Oil for Hair: Benefits and Applications
It also wonderfully transforms split ends, does not allow curls to become electrified, smoothes them and creates a protective shell.
In a word, it can successfully perform all the same functions as industrial silicone added to a variety of care products.
But at the same time, it also compares favorably in that it does not weigh down curls, simultaneously nourishes them, moisturizes, and is an absolutely natural product.
Broccoli hair oil contains a lot of useful things. These are vitamins: tocopherol (vitamin E), retinol (vitamin A), ascorbic acid. Standard beauty kit And trace elements: potassium, iron, as well as calcium. And most importantly, fatty acids, including essential ones.
Particularly valuable are linoleic and linolenic, more familiar as Omega-3 and -6. But no less important for the hair are oleic, palmitic, stearic. And there is also erucic acid, otherwise called Omega-9.
It is thanks to her that broccoli oil can act as silicone for hair.
The described oil is not obtained from the cabbage itself, as one might assume. Although this product has great nutritional value, eating broccoli is undoubtedly beneficial, including for the beauty of curls.
But the oil itself is produced by direct cold pressing from the seeds of this unique plant. At the same time, a light oil with a greenish up to marsh hue comes out.
The smell of this product is insignificant, but the taste is very pleasant.
Broccoli hair oil can be used and another - obtained by extraction (golden color). But the benefits of it are somewhat less. In food, it is better to use only a high-quality direct-pressed product.
The use of this tool brings only positive emotions.
Because unlike many other vegetable oils, it has a very light texture and therefore rinses out of the hair quite easily.
It can also be used as a conditioner after shampooing. With proper and moderate application, it does not weigh down the hair at all and does not create the effect of greasy strands.
In a word, not oil, but a find! And it can be applied in a variety of ways. To do this, you just need to purchase a quality product and familiarize yourself with the available recipes.
Using broccoli oil for hair

So, just a few drops of the product are enough to add to the shampoo immediately before washing your hair. The same can be done with a balm or conditioner. Just do not be zealous and add it to everything at once.
So the usual products with the addition of broccoli oil for hair will become much more useful.

This procedure allows you to abandon the conditioner, makes the hair smooth, enhances the shine of the strands, and in addition solves the problem of electrification.
And regular carrying out of such a simple action allows you to improve the hair and nourish the curls day after day.
You will need an ordinary comb (it is better if it is wooden or made of bone) and oil directly.
Sprinkle a few drops of it (3-5) on the comb and carefully comb through each strand. There is no need to wash curls after such a care procedure.
After all, broccoli oil is safe for hair and is almost instantly absorbed without a trace.
The third method will require a little time. This is an oil wrap. It is best to mix it with olive oil for this, for example, if moisturizing is required. Or with burdock, if desired, accelerate the growth of curls.
