Do you know that from the method of applying hair oil to the choice, everything is very different? That's why you should know how, when and how much to apply oil. Today in this article, we will tell you some important things related to applying hair oil.

Choose the right oil

You should not use any oil in your hair. First, know what the condition of your hair is. Only after this choose the oil. Coconut, olive and argan oil are mostly used in hair. If you want long and shiny hair, then use coconut and olive oil.

Make oil lukewarm

Do you also apply cold oil to your hair? If yes, then change this habit. Instead of cold oil, lukewarm oil should be applied to the hair. The lukewarm oil penetrates easily into the hair shaft. Not only this, but it will also make you feel relaxed. Use hot water to heat the oil. Pour oil into a container and put it over hot water. If you want, you can also heat the oil in the microwave for a few seconds.

Apply oil to the length of the hair

Scalp massage should be done with oil. Whenever you apply oil to your hair, start applying it in length. After applying oil, use a wide toothcomb. With this, the oil will be applied well throughout the hair. Don't forget to apply oil on the roots as well.

Keep these things in mind

  • Use oil according to the length and thickness of the hair. Applying more oil to the hair will make the hair stickier. It is not easy to wash sticky hair. Even after shampooing several times, the oil does not get removed.
  • How many times week oil should be used on hair depends on the condition of your hair. Also, on your personal preference.
  • Do not forget to shampoo and conditioner after applying oil to your hair. Use non-sulphate and gentle shampoo. It causes less damage to your hair.
  • Bedsheets get spoiled due to oil. So after applying oil, cover the hair with a shower cap or a normal foil.
  • Leave the oil in the hair only for 15-30 minutes. After this wash the hair thoroughly. Take special care of the weather too. For example, during the monsoon, there is moisture in the atmosphere due to which the hair becomes sticky. In this case, you should do oiling only once a week.
