Do you know how 'Oiling' can do miracle to your hair?

Your hair may undergo a lot of trauma everyday due to several factors such as pollution, extreme temperatures, poor habits and lifestyle, imbalanced diet, stress etc. One thing which really relieve your hair from most of the setbacks is the regular application of hair oil.

Why oiling hair is important?

Oiling is must to keep your hair nourished and healthy. A gentle head massage with a natural oil not only helps your hair to grow but also relaxes your mind.

Massaging improves blood circulation, which helps the follicles to receive more nutrition. As hair grows from a root at the bottom of a follicle under your skin, the blood in your scalp goes to the follicle which supplies oxygen and nutrients to the hair root. 

How to apply?

It is a good practice to heat your oil till lukewarm before application. It helps in better absorption, as it increases the penetration capacity of oil. A nice lukewarm oil massage in circular motion will make you feel relaxed and also takes good care of your hair.

Regular oiling (2-3 times a week) your hair and keeping it overnight is known to be extremely beneficial for the hair. As it enhances the lubrication of the shaft and help to prevent hair breakage. You can wash your hair with a mild shampoo and lukewarm water on the next day. It is recommended not to go out after applying the oil. It may attract the dirt and damage the hair. Also avoid applying oil on uncleaned and sweaty hair. 

Most of the people in today's generation face dandruff problems. Dry scalp can lead to dandruff and dandruff eventually results in hair fall. Always spare some time for the oiling, at least twice a week to keep your hair healthy and free from dandruff.

If your hair are extremely dry, you can just apply oil to your hair and then soak a towel in lukewarm water and wrap it around your head. This would make sure that oil penetrates well into the scalp.
