Hair Oiling for Hair Loss & Maintaining Healthy Hair in 2023
Hair oiling is the practice of pouring oil onto hair and massaging it into the scalp to increase moisture, strength, and shine. Hair oiling can soften the hair and provide vitamins and minerals that get stripped from frequent washing.
This natural practice used for centuries and is recommended in Ayurvedic medicine, is now becoming mainstream with lots of differing opinions on Tik Tok.
Oils play an important role in protecting hair from everyday stresses like pollution, chemicals, blow drying, straightening and even over washing.
Oiling hair regularly reduces drying of hair as oils protect the follicle and contain fatty acids that help replace lipids in the hair - making the hair look and feel healthy.
Here is how we suggest start your Hair Oil Rituals:
First, we suggest to pick a day of the week for some slow, self-care you time. Try to block out the time to really pamper yourself. Then;
- Apply oil on your scalp and massage with fingertips using a circular motion.
- Apply the oil left over to the end strands of your hair.
- Leave for 15 minutes up to 2 hours
- Finish by your usual shampoo & condition and rinse thoroughly.
Tip #1: Best practice is to not comb through the oil but allow it to sit as a mask on our hair.
Tip#2: Repeat as much as every week. We like including in our Sunday evening self care rituals.
