Right Way To Oil Your Hair To Prevent Damage

Hair oiling can help increase blood circulation by providing essential vitamins and minerals to the hair follicle

Check out some tips and tricks to oil your hair to prevent damage

Massaging your scalp and hair with warm oil seals the hair cuticle, which helps to strengthen and protect your hair from the roots

Before oiling your hair, comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb and detangle them to avoid hair breakage

Pour the oil on your scalp and gently start massaging, with the tip of your fingers, in circular motions

Apply oil to your scalp and then move towards the lengths of your hair. Take some oil in your palms and gently rub the length of your hair between your palms

Make sure to oil the tips of your hair well to prevent breakage and split ends

Tie your hair into a loose braid and leave it for for two to three hours before washing it with a shampoo

Key points to remember

Use a mix of carrier and essential oils to address your hair problems

Avoid applying oil to wet and damp hair as it leads to hair breakage
