Oatmilk is more than just a fancy creamer for your vegan coffee. Now, this lactose-free, high-protein dairy substitute is being poured into your haircare products as well. Why, you ask? While oatmilk is commonly known to work wonders on the skin, it has also been shown to have tons of benefits for hair. Oatmilk contains anti-inflammatory properties, which is why applying oatmilk-based products on your head can soothe your scalp and alleviate issues like irritation and itching. But that is not the only way it serves your precious strands. Even if you are not suffering from an itchy scalp, hHere are some of the other reasons why oatmilk needs to be a part of your haircare regimen:

• Oatmilk is a natural cleanser

Oat milk has a high content of protein, sugars, lipids and vitamins, and has been clinically shown to soothe, cleanse and protect hair, and maintain the natural balance of the scalp. It is also a great plant-based cleanser as it contains saponin, which helps it draw out excess oil from the scalp and remove dandruff, thus giving you a cleaner and fresher head of hair. If you have been on the lookout for a hair cleanser that is free of harsh chemicals, an oatmilk shampoo may be just what you need.

• Oatmilk is highly moisturizing

Add oatmilk to your haircare routine and say goodbye to dry hair. Oatmilk can restore moisture levels in your scalp and hair. It contains Vitamin B, one of the best-known vitamins for healthy hair, which acts as a humectant. A humectant is a substance that draws moisture from the atmosphere. Oatmilk penetrates the cortex, which is the thickest part of your hair, and moisturizes it from within.

• Oatmilk can help repair damaged hair

Due to the high levels of Vitamin B, oatmilk also contributes to nourishing and repairing damaged hair. It works to strengthen your hair, by reducing brittleness and increasing its elasticity. This makes it a great haircare ingredient, especially for people with curly and kinky hair that is more prone to breakage.

Applying pre-formulated haircare products that contain oatmilk, like the Babo Botanicals 6 oz Moisturizing Oatmilk Conditioner, is arguably the best way to allow your hair to benefit from the goodness of this ingredient. Browse through our online store to discover more such oatmilk products.
