Hair Oiling 101

a lot of people talk about hair oiling. but what even is it, and how do you do it effectively?

this post will help you learn how to properly oil your hair and scalp, as well as suggest products that are good to start out with.

when oiling your hair before bed or before a shower, you want to focus on the ends only. if you focus on the mids or the top of your head, it can leave your hair weighed down and feeling greasy. you will also have to wash it a lot more if you oil up your entire head 😉

using a scalp oil is great, but using it right can benefit you so much more! using a pre-wash scalp oil like this one from JVN Hair can help your hair feel softer and shinier on a wash day. using a rosemary scalp oil can help your hair grow. also, using a scalp scrubber can help you massage the oil in further.

use a lightweight oil like a hemisqualene oil (adds manageability and shine) or a Amaranth seed extract (blocks humidity + replenishes hair’s lipids to provide frizz protection). This lightweight oil from Living Proof is a good one to start with.
