Everyone loves their hair very much which works to make your look attractive. To make hair healthy, women try many types of products on hair, but no one can replace oil. Oil is considered an essential part of giving proper nutrition to the hair. Due to not applying oil to the hair on time, the hair becomes weak and starts breaking. But if oil is not applied to the hair properly, it can cause hair fall, dandruff, and dry hair. So today in this episode we are going to tell you the right way to apply oil. Keeping these in mind, you can make your hair beautiful and thick. Let's know about them...
Choose the Right Hair Oil
While there are many hair oils available in the market, coconut-based hair oils are always preferable. Not only are they suitable for all hair types, but they also have a lot of benefits. Talking about science, coconut-based hair oil is rich in certain molecules that penetrate easily into the hair follicles as well as the hair roots on the scalp. Additionally, coconut oil contains a good amount of lauric acid, which is essential for improving scalp health and reducing hair loss. Also, the aroma of coconut oil has special properties that help in relieving stress and calming the mind.
Heat the oil lightly
Pour about 1-5 pumps of hair oil into a bowl depending on the length of your hair. After this, heat the oil slightly. Make sure it doesn't get too hot. By heating the oil, the penetration is done in the scalp, due to which the results are also good. But it should be mild.
Avoid using palms
While applying oil, keep in mind that do not use palms. If the hair is rubbed with the palms, it can damage the hair. That's why always apply oil with your fingers and do a light massage.
Wrap head in a wet towel
When the oil is well applied to the hair, then heat a bucket of water lightly. Soak a towel in it and squeeze it lightly. Then wrap that towel in the hair. By doing this, the pores of the scalp open up and the oil gets absorbed.
Wide-tooth comb
Before you start oiling your hair, gently comb through the tangles with a wide-tooth comb to detangle them. Make oil only after the hair is well resolved.
Split hairs
For easy and effective oiling, part your hair into two sections with your fingers. If you have curls, divide them into more sections. After this, apply oil and massage the ends with oil.
The right way to massage
Take about one teaspoon of hair oil in your palm. Rub the palms together gently and apply the oil along the parting lines. Then, gently massage the scalp with your fingertips. It helps in blood circulation and helps in hair growth. For best results, make an "L" shape with your hands as you massage your roots and scalp. Massage with medium pressure and take care not to tangle the hair as you massage - this will lead to hair breakage.
On whom to apply oil on wet hair or dry hair
There is no strict rule as far as applying oil to wet or dry hair is concerned. Both are fine as long as your scalp is clean to ensure that the oil is well absorbed. However, in the case of coconut oil, we recommend applying the oil to dry hair so that the larger molecules of the oil can easily penetrate the scalp. To keep the hair healthy, it is necessary to take care of it regularly. Therefore, apply oil to your hair once a week.
