HOW TO OIL HAIR CORRECTLY

How to oil correctly is usually something we really don't care about because of the greasy look it gives and stickiness it feels. Like skin care , hair care is also important and just shampooing hair is not enough, oiling should also be considered as a main part of hair care. Shampooing hair without even moisturizing it is like making them much prone to damage and dry and to provide that extra nourishment you need to oil them. But oiling hair regularly is also not a good idea. Well i' m here to tell you how you should oil your hair and when.

HOW TO OIL HAIR CORRECTLY

Oil in accordance to your scalp

If your scalp is oily oiling hair too often and keeping it for longer time is a complete "no-no". Firstly understand why your scalp is oily. 

Our skin ( including the scalp) have sebeceous glands which produce an oily substance called sebum. The purpose of sebum is to keep the skin moist. Overproduction (or) hypersecretion of sebum causes the oily scalp. Keeping the oil for too long will cause product build-up on your scalp clogging your hair follicles. So, if you are having an oily scalp keeping the oil for 30-minutes  before hair wash is enough. Similarly Underproduction (or) hyposecretion of sebum causes the dry scalp. For dry scalp oil can be kept for 7-8 hours.

PRO TIP:

-Oiling should be done twice or thrice in a week.

-Applying too much of oil doesn't help in hair growth, apply adequate amount of oil according to your hair length as the amount of oil you apply will make you use too much of shampoo that will again make the hair dry and frizzy.

MASSAGING THE SCALP

Remember when mumma said champi is an unbeatable relaxation. She was and is right the key to get the ultimate benefit of oiling is by massaging it. Never rub oil on your scalp instead massage it in circular motion as massaging your scalp will enhance blood circulation and can even strengthen your follicles. While applying oil you should concentrate more on the scalp rather then lengths.

DEEP CONDITIONG

Now we all are aware of how nourishing deep conditioning is for our hair. Going to the salon and paying for a conditioning is quite a hefty task when all you want to do is netflix and chill on your weekend. But while sitting on your couch you can get a professional like deep conditioning.

Wondering how well its quite easy.
