If you've ever wondered whether you can use beard oil in your hair, you're not alone. It’s common knowledge that beard oil is for your beard and hair oil is for your hair. But what would happen if you were to use your beard oil on your hair? Are these two products interchangeable?

Can You Use Hair Oil on Your Beard & Vice Versa?
Well, you can. But you shouldn’t. However, using beard oil in your hair is totally fine. Here’s why.
Products designed for your hair and scalp are much more abrasive and heavy than products formulated for your face. Your scalp also produces a ton of natural oils that won’t be stripped away by strong shampoos and conditioners. This is not the case for your face.
Now, using beard oil in your hair? That can actually work in your favor.
Beard Oil vs. Hair Oil: What’s the Difference?
What Is Beard Oil?
As you know, beard hair tends to be thicker and coarser than the hair on your head. For this reason, beard oil is mixed with natural oils and moisturizing ingredients to add shine and promote hair growth. Our vegan Nourishing Beard Oil is enriched with herbs and vitamins formulated to soften and strengthen your man mane.
What Is Hair Oil?
Because the hair on your head covers a lot more real estate than your beard, it needs more product than your beard would need. Your scalp also produces more oil than the skin on your face, which means your scalp and hair can handle harsher products. Most hair oils contain fragrance and other strong ingredients like Cyclotetrasiloxane and Cyclopentasiloxane.
3 Tips For Using Beard Oil On Your Hair
Less Is More
If you plan on using beard oil in your hair, take caution in how much you are applying. Too much beard oil can cause your hair to look greasy, so all you’ll need is half a dime-sized amount to evenly moisturize your head and scalp.
Prevent Dryness
Beard oil can work wonders for those with dry scalps. Because of the nourishing and natural ingredients used in beard oil, you can count on it to prevent dryness and beard dandruff buildup.
Plus, it will help your hair retain moisture longer than your average hair oil product. The benefits of beard oil can also work for the hair on your head.
Add Moisture During the Winter
Speaking of moisturizing capabilities, beard oil can keep your hair moisturized during the dry winter months—especially if you have naturally dry hair.
Moisturizing helps prevent beard split ends and breakage. Again, it’s only recommended to use half a dime-sized amount when distributing beard oil throughout your hair.
