1. Strengthens Hair

With multi-dimensional effects, hair oiling reduces frizziness, prevents breakage and strengthens the hair follicles. Coating your hair with oiling forms a protective layer over your hair that protects it from external damage.

2. Adds Shine And Lustour

Oiling your hair not only strengthens your hair follicles but also adds moisture and shine to your hair. Hair oils add a layer over your hair that protects them from damage, harmful ultraviolet rays and enhance the shine of your hair. They also add the signature scent of the plant they come from and leave your hair shiny and lustrous.

3. Promotes Hair Growth

Hair oils are induced with essential vitamins which when applied to hair can significantly strengthen your hair. Oils are rich in antioxidants which enhance the health of hair follicles, which in turn promote hair growth.

4. Prevents Split Ends

When you oil your hair the right way, it can work wonders for your hair woes. Split ends happen when the hair becomes brittle, dry and frayed. One of the best home remedies to get rid of split ends is by giving your hair a good oil massage. The antibacterial properties of oils treat dandruff and split ends and leave the hair nourished and moisturised.

5. Protects From UV Rays

According to WebMD, protecting your hair from the sun’s rays is important to keep your hair from getting too dry or frizzy over time. The moisturising properties of hair oils may create a protective barrier against the sun’s UV rays.

Right Way Of Hair Oiling

According to WebMD, you only need a few drops of essential oil. You can mix one or more types in a shampoo or conditioner. Or mix the drops into 2 ounces of carrier oil. After you apply the oil mixture, cover your head with a towel or shower cap. You can wash out the treatment after 30 minutes, leave it on overnight and shampoo in the morning, or use some as a leave-in conditioner.
