GROW YOUR HAIR LONGER WITH HAIR OILING

/

What is hair oiling? Hair oiling has picked up major steam lately thanks to social media spreading the word about its' benefits, but it's actually a tradition dating back thousands of years in many Asian and Indian cultures. 

Who is a good candidate for hair oiling? literally everyone! It's great for creating shine and restoring moisture on any hair, but its especially helpful for anyone who color treats or bleaches, uses heat for styling and has breakage, has curly hair, frizzy or fly away hair, and anyone trying to grow longer hair.

What are the benefits of hair oiling?:

  • Increased moisture & shine

  • Less breakage & split ends

  • Less frizz & fly away hair

  • Faster hair growth

  • Less shedding

How often should you oil? 1 time a week for about 2 hours, overnight is not necessary

What does the process look like?

  1. loosen up the scalp first with a soft scalp massager on dry hair 3-5 minutes

  2. gently detangle hair from the ends working towards scalp on dry hair

  3. section hair into 1/2 inch rows and apply oil using a cotton swab or dropper to entire scalp

  4. use a wide tooth comb and distribute oil downwards 

  5. apply oil to hands then work in oil from ends upward. evenly coat but don't over saturate and avoid combing at this stage when hair is more susceptible to breakage

  6. loosely secure hair up, and wrap in a shower cap or plastic wrap followed by a microfiber towel to hold in the heat

  7. wear for a few hours, but I don't recommend overnight wear

  8. rinse thoroughly with warm water for 2-3 minutes before adding shampoo. Wash as usual focusing on loosening the scalp especially. we don't want to strip all of the oil out we just added in, so avoid detoxing shampoos.

  9. style as usual
