Benefits of oiling hair

Benefits of oiling hair

 ·          Hot oil treatments are perfect for those suffering from dry scalp conditions like dandruff. However, they are only a temporary fix and must be done regularly to gain benefits.
 
 ·          Those with curly hair need a moisture boost and oiling provides a protective layer against damage such as split ends and reduces frizz leaving the hair soft and supple.
 
 ·          One of the time-tested solutions for hair loss is an oil massage. You can use almond oil, olive oil, coconut oil or even olive. Just ensure that the oil is warm when you apply it as warm oil works on the hair roots faster.
 
 ·          Steaming the hair after applying oil helps to rejuvenate the scalp and stimulate circulation. Take a towel, dip it in hot water, squeeze the excess water and wrap around the head like a turban. Repeat the process. This will help open the pores and allow the oil to penetrate inside the scalp promoting hair growth.
 

 ·          A well-performed scalp massage can increase the blood circulation to the hair follicles, decrease tension, condition the scalp, and improve the strength of the hair roots. The pressure applied by a massage warms the skin and opens up blood vessels to increase blood flow.

·          If you have brittle hair that is prone to breakage you can use almond oil to nourish the hair shaft and skin. Those suffering from thinning hair can opt for coconut oil. Coconut oil slows down the hair shedding process.
