The Compatibility of Glycolic Acid and Hair Oil
Since modern times, people have paid much attention to the way of skin care and hair care. Glycolic acid, in the field of skin care, is often the choice for rejuvenating and improving skin quality; while hair oil is specially designed to nourish and soften hair. However, whether the two can be used together is quite doubtful.

Glycolic acid, with acidic properties, can promote keratin renewal on the skin, making the skin delicate and smooth. However, it should be used with caution on the scalp or hair strands. Scalp skin, compared to facial skin, although different, it also needs careful care. Hair oil, mostly containing natural oils, such as olive oil and argan oil, is designed to moisturize the hair and prevent it from drying up and bifurcating.

If glycolic acid is used in combination with hair oil, consider the interaction between the two. The acidity of glycolic acid may affect the stability of the oil in hair oil. For oils, it can survive in a specific acid-base environment. Too acidic, or cause oil hydrolysis, losing its nourishing effect. And if the concentration of glycolic acid is too high, it may damage the scalp barrier. If hair oil is used at this time, it may increase the burden on the scalp and cause discomfort, such as itching, redness and swelling.

If it is used properly, it is not impossible. If the concentration of glycolic acid is very low, and the composition of hair oil is mild, after a small-scale trial, there is no adverse reaction, or you can try to use it at intervals. Use glycolic acid to care for the scalp first, and after its effect is exerted and washed, then use hair oil to nourish the hair. In this way, you may have the benefits of both glycolic acid rejuvenation and hair oil nourishment.

In short, whether glycolic acid and hair oil can be used in combination should be carefully chosen according to the condition of the individual scalp and hair. Use a small amount of product for local trial first, and observe its reaction. It is a safe way. Do not mix it rashly, so as not to damage the health of the scalp and hair.
