Meaning ❉ Plant Oil Science, within the context of textured hair care, carefully examines the botanical lipids derived from nature’s bounty, detailing their unique molecular structures and how these properties influence the health and appearance of coils, curls, and waves. Understanding this science supports the systematization of hair care routines, allowing for the deliberate selection of oils—whether for their penetrative capacity, emollient properties, or occlusive benefits—to address specific hair needs. This knowledge facilitates the practical application of oils, guiding individuals in crafting tailored pre-poo treatments, sealing methods, or scalp care regimens that truly support the inherent strength and moisture balance of Black and mixed-race hair, moving beyond casual use to informed, consistent care.
