What is Hair Oiling and Why Should You Be Doing It?
The newest trend in hair care isn’t actually a “trend” at all. Hair oiling is the new craze to enter the ever changing frontier of hair care but it’s actually been an ancient ritual for many, many, many years. Hair oiling is the process of applying warm oil to your scalp and combing it through your locks and leaving it in your hair anywhere from one hour to overnight. Women everywhere are using this technique to grow their hair thicker and longer, repair years of hair damage due to heat and styling and to better the overall health and texture of their hair.
The key is to address your hair needs and to choose the correct oil for your hair. If you’re looking for deep moisturization then coconut oil is your best bet. It deeply penetrates the individual hair shaft and aids in protein loss as well. If you have dry and brittle hair and seek soft tresses then argan oil which is full of fatty acids and antioxidants is the best remedy. As for those of you are quick to color your hair then you’re going to want to reach for almond oil which is packed with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E which is perfect for color treated hair.
After you’ve identified your oil, the process is simple. Comb and section your hair and warm your oil to an appropriate temperature to avoid any burning of your skin. Apply oil at the root and use your brush or comb to distribute the oil to the ends of your hair. Apply oil as needed or desired and leave it on anywhere from an hour to overnight, and voila! Hair transformed. Will you be trying this new hair care trend? Of course you will, who doesn’t want healthy, luxurious hair? Let us know how it works for you.
