I heard so many people are
actually really scared of using oil in their hair. I always wonder why. I
personally feel that all these expensive shampoo and conditioners only work on
the outer surface of your stands and don’t nourish hair from within. Basically,
hair cells are dead when come out of the scalp; it is actually the scalp which
needs a good look after just like the rest of our body skin. And if scalp is
healthy, hair will automatically look healthy and more manageable. Dry and itchy scalp can lead to thinning out
of hair and finally hair loss.
A good massage with oil (or
if you are lazy like me), just coating your hair with oil can make a huge
difference in hair texture and look. Massage increases the blood flow towards
head and oil easily penetrates deep into the skin and all the goodness from oil add
into blood stream directly. No matter what hair type you have or if having oily
or dry hair, this works wonders for all.
Now the question is which
oil shall we use? Every kind of oil has its own benefits. I am gonna talk about
few here and will tell how to apply. Don’t restrict yourself to these few. You
can oil your locks with any oil you like and following any procedure. There is
no hard and fast rule. Now let’s get started
Almond Oil
Almond oil is one of the
most powerful natural stimulants for growth and strengthening of hair strands
and good source of Vitamin E. It feeds the roots, stimulates regeneration, and
improves hair’s elasticity and shine.
As a scalp scrub, use a little stronger motion when massaging
into scalp. Then wash hair after a few hours. The almond oil will remove dry,
itchy flakes and dirt as you wash your hair. Then apply a few drops to your
hair and scalp when dry to maintain the healthy look and reap the full benefits
of almond oil. A coat of few drops of almond oil before blow dry will protect
hair from heat.
Mustard Oil
Mustard seed oil is loaded with vitamins and minerals,
excellent in stimulating hair growth. It conditions and helps encourage hair
growth in all hair types. It has been believed that mustard oil darken and
deepen hair colour when apply regularly.
Mustard oil is very oily and thick in consistency as
compared to other oils. I will suggest microwaving oil in a container for few
seconds. It’s better to apply oil at night and leave overnight. That’s how when
you asleep, oil will do its job. Then wash your hair in the morning. You may
need to shampoo hair twice to remove oil.
Coconut Oil
I simply love coconut oil.
Smell, after effects, everything. It combats dandruff like no other. Regular
use of coconut oil reduces the protein loss in hair. Hair becomes surprisingly
soft and manageable. It has a bit strong coconut smell, so you may need an
extra wash if not comfortable with the smell.
Coconut oil is in a clear liquid
form but get solid in cold. If that’s the case, put bottle in direct sunlight
and it will melt in no time. Massage in hair in sections and leave it for a
couple of hours and then wash. You will see an instant shine and will notice
less dandruff after first use.
Olive Oil
So many people have talked
about olive oil and its infinite benefits. Good source of vitamin E. Hair
becomes shiny and stronger.
Heat some olive oil in heat
prove container in microwave. Be careful, because olive oil heats up very quickly.
Before applying, make sure temperature of oil is comfortable enough. Massage
liberally. Then take a small towel and dip it in hot water. Wring out the
excess water and wrap hair in towel. The steam from towel will help hair absorb
oil well. Leave it for 30 minutes and then wash hair. Hair will become so soft
to touch. You will not be able to resist.
