The difference is that this oil has conditioning properties that penetrate through the hair's cortex, acting as an emollient and resulting in extremely soft strands. In addition, sunflower oil is high in vitamin E, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids, which can help nurture the hair to remain healthy and strong with continued use.
