Oil is the most effective and pocket-friendly pre-shampoo treatment that adds softness, fullness, and moisture to your hair.
Oiling before washing your hair does raise some questions and that’s what we are here for. Here are some of the most asked questions on pre-shampoo hair oiling and their answers.
- When do you start oiling your hair before washing?
Have dry, damaged, or frizzy hair? If your hair is getting thinner, getting very light in texture, or frizzy to an extent that no product is helping, then a hair oil treatment is very much recommended for you.
- How much oil should be used?
How much oil you should use merely depends on your hair type, but the common measurements are not hard and fast. You need the amount you think is right for you, not too much and not too little. Because you don’t want to apply oil in an amount that gets hard to wash off.
- How often?
Usually, two to three times a week would be enough. Our suggestion: get to know your hair because when you start oiling, it needs more care than usual and know when to stop overdoing it.
- How long to leave it on?
How long the oil needs to be left also depends on the type of oil you’re using, as some of it may be left overnight, while others are just for an hour or two. If you don’t know how long, it’s better to just leave it on for how long you’re comfortable with having oil in your hair.
