Hair oiling has been an important technique
for woman of any century. Still it is considered an important routine because
it prevent premature greying and strengthen hair roots. Usually women doesn’t
know that their scalp also generates its natural oil that helps in hair
nourishment. Oil massage is necessary because too much oil can block the pores.
Oil massage not only relaxes muscles and body but also keeps
nervous system healthy. Hair oiling keeps calm the mind and also serves as the
headache healer. Warm oil leaves special results and relieves, stress, eases
muscles strain and increases blood circulation in and around head. More active
blood circulation ensures strong hair follicles, hence better hair growth.
Dove celebrity Stylist Mark Townsend says that “Every woman
would benefit from using oils even just once a week. You’ll see a major
difference in your hair.” Oil nourishes hair, and when hair get enough
nourishment, its growth rate improves. Regular hair massage helps regain hair
lost due to use of hair styling machines or chemical treatments.
Mark says that oils are great protectant and great health
booster. He says “The benefit in most of the oils is all the fatty acids, which
replace the lipids in your hair when it starts to get really fine. Right before
it splits, that means there’s nothing holding it together, and all those lipids
are gone so you need to replace them.”
Hair oiling provides hair limitless benefits. There are some
organisms that can attack scalp and damage it. Oil components acts as a barrier
against such organisms. Hair absorbs essential oil nutrients that helps hair to
acquire health, shine and attractiveness. Over-shampooing washes off oil too
that may lead to dullness and dryness.
Oiling keeps hair full of moisture and coconut oil is best to
use. As Mark suggested to use coconut oil for dry and damaged hair. He said
that “I’ve never found anything more moisturizing for the hair than just
straight coconut oil. I even add straight coconut oil to conditioner. Jojoba
oil is an amazing lubricant for the hair. Argan oil has the great benefits of
leaving the hair soft, silky and smooth – that oil will reflect the light,
making your hair look super shiny.”
Dry scalp often leads to dandruff that may cause itching on the
scalp and further result in hair breakage. Hair oiling on the scalp helps
glands to produce enough oil to prevent damage. Massaging hair once a week is
must. Warm oil is preferred by experts to apply on the scalp; it restores the
hair shine and soothes the scalp too.
