Hair Oil

Hair oil helps moisturize and nourish both the hair and scalp, leading to healthier, shinier hair. It can also help reduce frizz, prevent hair breakage, and make hair more manageable.

To apply hair oil, start by putting a few drops into your palm, rub your hands together, and then massage the oil into your scalp and hair. You can focus on the ends if they are particularly dry or damaged. It's often recommended to apply oil to damp hair or before washing as a pre-treatment.

While hair oil alone doesn't cause hair to grow, it can help create a healthier scalp environment that is conducive to hair growth. Oils like castor oil and rosemary oil are popularly thought to help promote hair thickness and growth due to their properties.

The frequency depends on your hair type. Oily hair may only need light oiling once a week, while dry or curly hair might benefit from more frequent or heavier oiling.

For dry hair, oils like coconut oil, argan oil, and almond oil are beneficial because they are rich in fatty acids and nutrients that deeply moisturize and nourish hair strands.

Yes, oils like tea tree oil and peppermint oil are known for their antibacterial and soothing properties, which can help maintain scalp health and alleviate issues like dandruff and itchiness.

Yes, it's typically necessary to wash hair after oil treatment to remove excess oil, especially if you've applied a lot. However, you can leave light oils in your hair as a leave-in conditioner if your hair absorbs them well.

Absolutely, hair oil can be beneficial for coloured hair, helping to maintain moisture and shine that might be lost due to colouring processes. Just ensure the oil is colour-safe and doesn’t contain ingredients that could strip the colour.

Natural hair oils are extracted from plants and are generally free from chemicals, making them a healthier choice for hair care. Synthetic oils may contain silicones that provide a temporary gloss and smoothness but don't offer the same nourishing benefits as natural oils.

Consider your hair's needs: Use lighter oils like argan or jojoba oil for fine hair to prevent weighing it down. For thicker, coarser hair, heavier oils like coconut or olive oil can be more effective. If unsure, consult with a hair care professional who can recommend the best oil based on your hair type and condition.
