Are you also among those who blindly believe in the advice of your grandmothers 'Apply oil, grow hair'? Moreover, do you make the mistake of applying oil to your hair immediately after shampooing? If your answer is yes, then know that you are knowingly or unknowingly damaging your hair instead of benefiting it.
This is a common misconception that has been going on for years. We think that shampooing takes away the moisture from the hair, and applying oil immediately will bring it back, but the truth is exactly the opposite. This method can weaken your hair, which increases hair fall even more. Let us know why applying oil after shampoo is wrong and what the right way to take care of your hair is (Hair Oiling Tips).
Why is oiling immediately after shampooing wrong?
When we shampoo, the pores of our hair and scalp open up. In such a situation, if we apply oil immediately, then these open pores easily absorb dust, dirt, and pollution. This causes dirt to accumulate on the scalp, which can cause many problems, such as:
Build-up on the scalp: A mixture of oil and dirt forms a layer on the scalp, which clogs the pores.
Hair loss: Due to closed pores, nutrition does not reach the hair roots, resulting in the hair becoming weak and starting to break.
Dandruff and infection: Dirt and moisture can cause bacteria to grow, which can cause problems like dandruff and itching in the scalp.
In addition, hair is wet and delicate after shampooing. In such a situation, applying oil and tying or combing the hair causes them to break more.
What is the right way to oil?
The right way is to do oiling before shampooing, not after. This will also provide ample nutrition to your hair and will not cause any harm.
Heat the oil lightly: Heating any oil (like coconut, almond, or olive) lightly makes its nutrients even more effective. Do not heat it directly over fire, but keep it in a bowl and put it in hot water.
Massage the scalp: With the help of your fingers, massage the warm oil on the scalp with light hands. Do not rub vigorously. Massaging increases blood circulation, which strengthens the hair roots and reduces hair fall.
Leave it overnight: After applying the oil, tie the hair in a loose braid. Leave the oil on for at least 2 to 3 hours, or if possible, for the whole night. This allows the oil to penetrate the hair roots well.
Wash in the morning: Wash the hair with a mild shampoo the next morning. Make sure to wet the hair well before shampooing. Make sure to use a conditioner after shampooing.
This shampoo will keep your hair strong, shiny, and healthy, and will also reduce hair fall
