Hair Oiling

There are a ton of hair oils that you can use as a treatment on your hair. Different oils have different benefits and depend on what you’re looking to achieve. It is an effective method to include in your hair care routine because it’s super easy and simple. It’s as simple as putting the oil in your hair and letting it be absorbed by your locks for about an hour or so, and wash it off with warm water and gentle shampoo. That’s it.

Hair oiling has also been around for ages and is a practice used as a traditional beauty secret in India. Families even make special time for it as a bonding and self-care activity. You might be wondering what their secret is for long, luscious locks. This is it!

A few examples of some oils you can use:

• Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is at the top of the list because it’s something that we all have lying around in our kitchen. It’s cheap, it’s easy to get a hold of, and it’s also one of the best oils you can use on your hair. It's packed with essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals that will help moisturize, thicken, and improve the elasticity of your hair.

• Argan Oil

You may already know argan oil from reading it on various hair care products. That’s because it’s incredibly effective at putting the shine back in your hair, making it soft and smooth, and repairing the damage caused by heat styling or environmental factors. It’s high in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that will nourish your strands.

• Castor Oil

If hair growth is your target, then castor oil is what you want. This oil the main ingredient in hair growth serums for hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes, and the effects are noticeable. Hair grows longer and much faster using this oil because it’s rich in proteins, vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidants. It makes the hair stronger, less prone to hair fall and breakage, and encourages new hairs to grow.

When you use this method, make sure to mix in some other type of oil to balance out its thick consistency.

• Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is another well-kept beauty secret amongst hair, skin, and nail enthusiasts. This oil is a little more lowkey in terms of being advertised in beauty products, but it’s one of the most effective oils for hair growth, strength, and elasticity. Jojoba oil is 97% monounsaturated fats, so if your hair is prone to breaking or brittleness, you can use this oil to bring back strength and encourage growth. Its biological makeup is also the closest you can get to the natural sebum we produce, which makes it absorb so much faster than other oils.
