"Modernism" has its own "demands". If it makes you well-groomed, showy and appealing, then you may need to bear some of its consequences as well. For example, a hair style, which may earn you praises in a late night party, may go on to cause a bad hair day the very next morning. Tangles, dryness and hair fall may keep you busy with your comb and brush after you return home and just before you come to hear the Rooster.
At this point, you might be searching for a "forgotten" hair oil bottle, which you may have kept somewhere quite "unconsciously". And why shouldn't it be - after all today's modern folks do not like "stickiness". Hence, hair oils and their applications have just remained as a subject of advice for parents and grandparents.
The Benefits of Using Hair Oils
- Oil serves the purpose of a hair conditioner, moistens the hair and adds softness to it.
- A head massage with hair oil boosts your circulation and helps your body to relax.
- Oil helps in hair growth by supplying it with every nutrient that it needs.
- Applying hair oil everyday will help you to prevent dandruff, which results if the scalp suffers from dryness.
- If you are concerned about split ends, then you should apply hair oil regularly. This will moisturize your hair and will add weight to it.
- You can add shine to your hair by applying hair oil daily. And this is of greater relevance for you if you are bothered about your dull hair.
Tips to Oil Your Hair Effectively
Yes, there are certain smart techniques of applying hair oil which will enable you to get the optimal results. Here's what you may need to follow:
- Hot oil therapy works best and hence heat some oil till it becomes warm.
- Take a comb and partition your hair as much as you can. The greater the number of these partitions, the higher the accessibility of the oil to the scalp.
- Don't use excessive oil. Take small amounts and begin to apply in each of the partitions. Massage gently.
- Wet your fingertips with oil. Then use your fingertips to massage the scalp. Continue massaging with your fingers for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
- It's better to let the oil stay on your hair for one whole day. This will help the scalp to absorb it better. But some individuals may not find it good to move around with a sticky, oily hair and they can apply the oil at night before going to bed. The oil can be washed off the next morning.
- Massage the oil on the hair roots to facilitate blood circulation. This will make your hair "silky-strong".
- Apply oil to your hair for at least once weekly. But this may need to be increased to twice weekly if you have extremely dry hair.
Some Effective Hair Oils
- Coconut Oil: Coconut oil works by lubricating hair. It serves as a treatment for damaged hair because of its hair strengthening properties.
- Jojoba Oil: Jojoba oil treats hair dryness. It adds softness to hair and helps detangle it before applying a shampoo.
- Olive Oil: It strengthens hair by providing necessary nutrients to it.
- Rosemary Herbal Oil: It is one of the most effective remedies for dandruff problems.
Looking good is always welcomed. And shocking others through a new look is even more motivating. And no one can be as cruel as to stop you from experimenting with your looks. Go ahead with your adventures in perming, coloring, blow drying and straightening. Go ahead with bizarre hair styles and set up a different identity. But take care to keep a bottle of your favorite hair oil in some easily accessible place. You'll need it someday.
