What Are The Benefits Of Using Hair Oil Overnight?

The truth is that oiling your hair overnight provides so many haircare benefits that it should be a must in haircare routine, particularly with hair that needs extra nourishment from a more intensive, long overnight hair oiling treatment. The most simple way to think of it is that we already know the benefits of hair oiling, therefore by leaving the hair oil overnight you can enhance the effectiveness of these benefits. Harir Hair oil is infused with a specially selected blend of oils that work to nourish the hair and scalp overnight; it's lightweight formula absorbs into the hair without weighing the hair down for a comfortable sleep while your hair soaks in the following benefits:

1. Better Absorption

   Often, during the day time you may not have time to leave the hair oil in your hair for the amount of time that would allow the most benefits of the oil to reach your hair, so your hair loses an opportunity to be even more nourished. By applying the hair oil overnight, you give the oil time to absorb into the hair and scalp the best it can, providing its maximum hair benefits. While you sleep, the hair is left in one particular style and the ingredients can work intensively on the hair. The optimum absorption from an overnight hair treatment speeds up the time it will take for your hair to become its healthiest version.

   
   

2. Deep Hydration And Nourishment

Hair oiling overnight provides intense nourishment and hydration to the hair as it absorbs into the hair overnight, hydrating the hair and sealing in moisture to prevent moisture loss. This is beneficial for all hair as it provides extra nourishment, but it can be particularly effective for hair that is dry or damaged and is in need of an intensive hair oil treatment. When applied overnight, the oil can be washed out in the morning as the hair would have had time overnight to gain all of the nutrients from the oil, creating ultra nourished, silky hair.

3. Promotes Consistency

In order for hair oiling to be most effective and to ensure that your hair is consistently healthy, hair oil needs to be applied regularly to either repair new damage or to simply maintain the current results. When applying oil overnight it encourages a regular hair oiling routine as you are able to have an intensive hair oiling treatment without it getting in the way of daily tasks.

As hair oil needs to be applied for at least 1-2 hours before washing to be very effective, and even longer for an intensive treatment, it can discourage people from oiling their hair during the day time due to the time commitment. Overnight hair oiling allows your hair and scalp to have the care and time it needs regularly to repair, hydrate, grow, and maintain a natural shine.

4. Enhanced Natural Shine

After an overnight hair oiling treatment, your hair will be visibly shinier as the hair oil has been working overnight to smooth the cuticles, enhancing natural shine. The lightweight formula of our hydrating hair oil makes it the perfect overnight treatment, as it will improve the natural shine of the hair without making the hair look greasy.

5. Promotes Hair Growth

   With a hair oil that is full of haircare benefits, an overnight treatment gives the nutrients more time to work effectively to nourish the scalp and follicles, encouraging healthy hair growth from the roots.

   
   
   
   
   
   
   

6. Reduces Hair Breakage

   During the night the hair can often be vulnerable to pulling and breakage, due to movement and friction, particularly if the hairis already dry and weaker. By applying a hydrating hair oil overnight there will be more elasticity in the hair, reducing the risk of breakage during the night. An overnight hair treatment helps to protect the hair while you sleep.

   
   

How To Oil Hair Overnight

Hair oiling overnight provides so many haircare benefits and these can be enhanced by following these hair oiling steps when doing an overnight hair oiling treatment:

Oiling At The Right Time

As the overnight hair oiling treatment should be done the night before hair wash day, it is important to not do an overnight hair oiling treatment too soon or too late. If you do an overnight hair oiling treatment before your hair is due to be washed, you could end up over washing your hair, which can strip your hair of a lot of the benefits gained from hair oiling. As everyones hair is different, the exact day for the overnight hair oiling treatment will be different for everyone, but it is important to make sure you do the overnight treatment the night before you would usually wash your hair, and not sooner.

Massage The Scalp

When applying to the scalp it is important to massage the hair oil to enhance absorption and prevent product from transferring onto bedding overnight. Massaging the scalp also promotes blood circulation to the scalp, helping the nutrients in the oil to reach the scalp better overnight.

Applying The Hair Oil

After applying the oil to the scalp, section the hair, allowing you to evenly apply oil to all of the strands, adding more to areas of the hair that are more dry and in need of extra nourishment. Although for a light day treatment 1-2 pumps is the minimum advised, not only will an overnight treatment require a lot more oil, but generally the amount you apply for any treatment type can depend on your hair length, type, or thickness. For the overnight treatment, start by applying 1-2 pumps to each section, and apply more if needed. Finally, style the hair in a loose, but protected style to prevent oil from transferring onto the beddding, allowing it to absorb into the hair and scalp.

Are There Any Disadvantages To Hair Oiling Overnight

Hair oiling overnight provides endless hair benefits, and is a healthy haircare ritual. The oil should be massaged lightly into the hair and scalp to ensure it will continue to penetrate in to the hair overnight, so it is best to avoid over oiling as it this may lead to product buildup on bedding as well as the oil not fully absorbing in to the hair. It is also important to remember to style hair tied up in a loose style as this will prevent oil from transferring onto sheets and it will also enhance absorption of the oil directly on to the hair and scalp.

Best Hair Oil For Overnight

A good overnight hair oil should have the nutrients the hair needs for intensive nourishment. Harir Hair Oil is a blend of natural oils, infused with fatty acids and nutrients to hydrate the hair and scalp, repair damage, reduce frizz and hair breakage, enhance shine, as well as promote hair growth.
