A step-by-step guide to oiling your hair

Many people, as they age, get caught up in hectic schedules and household responsibilities, and begin to care less and pay hardly any attention to their hair health. They begin to oil their hair less frequently, or even stop doing it altogether. As a result, it leads to brittle, lifeless hair. However, if you genuinely care about the health of your hair and want to keep it well-nourished and well-maintained, you need to give it a thorough hair oil massage at least twice per week. 

Needless to say, you should know how to oil your hair the right way in order to get the desired results, otherwise, a vigorous hair oil massage or daily rushed hair oil massages can lead to breakage and accumulation of dirt. Oiling your hair not only keeps your hair well-nourished and healthy, but also enhances the health of your scalp since it enhances blood circulation. So, as a reliable maker of a variety of non-sticky, natural hair oils, we have prepared a step-by-step guide below, on how you should oil your hair effectively. 

Step 1: Brush your hair thoroughly 

The first step involves brushing your hair properly to untangle any hair knots, or else it might lead to more frequent hair loss. This will enable you to apply oil thoroughly onto your hair as well as into the scalp. 

Step 2: Use warm oil 

You might have seen your elders warming up the oil a little, before giving themselves a long hair oil massage. Warming the hair oil will help it penetrate your scalp in a much more effective manner. 

Step 3: Apply oil with a cotton pad, then massage

Now, use a cotton pad to apply the oil effectively by dipping it in the oil and then, apply it on your scalp evenly. And then massage your hair scalp gently by using your fingertips, for around 20 minutes. This will give your hair the nourishment it deserves, right from its root to its tip. Try not to be rough or vigorous while massaging your hair, as it can damage your hair. 

Step 4: Use a hot towel for better oil penetration

Once you are done with massaging your hair, take a towel, immerse it in warm water and then squeeze out the water, to make sure it is still warm enough, but not dripping wet. Next, wrap your head with the hot towel so that the steam from it opens up your scalp pores, which leads to better penetration of the oil. 

So, if you are at home, wondering how to keep your hair healthy during the lockdown (as well as after that), simply follow this hair massage routine twice a week. It would make you realize how good it inherently feels to have good, healthy, well-nourished hair.
