Why Learn How To Use Hair Oil?
Hair oiling can help to reduce many haircare problems you may be having, whether you have damaged hair from chemical treatments, or simply just want a way to make your every day hairstyles look even better, learning how to use hair oil properly can make all the difference to the overall results. Of course, the first step is to find a hair oil that has all the benefits needed for your haircare goals, and finally find the best application method to enhance the treatment results.
Hair oil contains powerful ingredients that help to nourish and protect the hair, but results can be even better when combined with the best application techniques. Here are some recommended tips to keep in mind when using hair oil:
Always Apply Hair Oil To Damp Hair
It is best to apply oil to damp hair if possible, as when the hair is damp it is much easier for the oil to spread evenly throughout the hair, equally coating each strand. When the hair is completely dry, it can be difficult to manage the hair and ensure the oil covers every section. It is also best not to apply oil to extremely wet hair as sometimes this can cause the oil to sit on top of the hair or run off the hair, without a chance to absorb into the strands. This is why it is recommended to apply oil to the hair when it is slightly damp, as it is dry enough for the oil not to run off the hair, but the slight moisture from the water will help the application process ensuring no hair is left untreated.
Gently Massage The Scalp When Applying Hair Oil
When applying hair oil to the scalp, the goal is to make sure the nutrients from the hair oil reach the hair follicles to encourage a healthy scalp and healthy hair growth. We recommend gently massaging the oil into the scalp as this slight movement can help to enhance the results of the hair oil by stimulating blood circulation, allowing nutrients from both the hair oil and the body to reach the hair follicles more easily and effectively. This method of application can enhance the results of the hair oil as the extra step further supports the properties of the hair oil which focus on delivering beneficial nutrients to the hair follicle.
Be Consistent With Hair Oil Application
Consistency is an extremely important factor when it comes to seeing your desired haircare results. After one hair oil application it is possible for the hair to be visibly shinier, less dry and overall more healthy, due to the boost in nourishment from the hair oil, but it is important to oil the hair regularly, as the hair benefits more the more it consistently absorbs beneficial nutrients.
When you take time to oil the hair at least once a week, you are not only maintaining your current hair health but you are also replenishing any nourishment that the hair may have lost from heat styling, diet, chemical treatments and dyes, and other environmental factors. Also, over time, when you are consistently oiling your hair, the hair becomes stronger as it has had a lot of time to repair itself due to the repeated protective barrier that has coated the hair during consistent hair oil application, as well as the continuous moisture that the oil has added to the hair. When the hair has been protected and nourished for longer periods of time you will notice that your hair has less and less breakage over time, is healthier, free from dryness, resulting in hair that consistently improves in length, but also looks healthy. Consistent hair oiling of the scalp also encourages new hair growth so that new healthy hair can keep growing.
