But did you know that massaging your scalp with hair oil can also promote hair growth? It's true!
By stimulating blood flow to the scalp and nourishing the hair follicles with essential nutrients, hair oil can help strengthen your hair, prevent breakage, and even stimulate new hair growth.
But I know it always comes back to where I start: what is the right way to massage your head? How to choose the right natural hair growth oil… Let’s get started with answers to some of your questions.
Why is Hair Growth Oil important?
Many people don’t have the time to oil their hair. But if they get some time, they don’t know the right way to reap herbal hair oil benefits. Like, our body needs food, water, and oxygen to stay alive and keep on. In the same way, you must take care of your hair and keep them nourished and hydrated.
What is the right way to massage your head?
Choosing the best herbal hair oil
Choosing a natural hair growth oil according to your hair type is the first step towards natural healthy hair. Most of the hair oils presented in the market are full of harmful chemicals like sulfates, parabens, and petroleum products and are not good for hair. So, choose a natural hair oil like Coconut Oil, Amla Oil, and Bhringraj Oil (boosters for hair growth) before going on to the next step.
Heating up the Hair growth oil
Heating up your oil (a little warm), before applying it on your head opens up the pores of your scalp. Scalp absorbs the nutrients of oil and it goes directly into the roots of hairs. Vitamins like Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Zinc, Iron, Proteins, Omega 3 Fatty Acids, and other nutrients directly come in contact with roots and help to grow stronger, thicker, and shining hair.
Gently Massage the Head with Oil
After heating up the oil, massaging your head increases the blood circulation around the scalp which promotes good hair growth. Massaging also reduces stress levels, relaxes the head, and improves mood. Take the appropriate amount of oil in a clean hand and rub it into your scalp gently with the help of your fingertips. A massage of 3-5 minutes would be enough for anyone.
Cover the Head with a Cloth
Cover your head with any softer and clean cloth and leave an hour for hair to absorb the oil. This reduces the pressure on the scalp generated while holding your hair. Hair becomes heavy for the scalp after oiling because of gravity that pulls hair downwards and generates tension for the scalp. So, it is important to cover your head with a soft cloth like cotton.
Wash Off the Hair
Washing the hair after absorption of oil. The oil that remains on hairs and the scalp is bad and can damage hairs as well as hair follicles and cause many infections, redness, and itching around the scalp. Wash hair with a mild and natural shampoo-conditioner after 2 hours if you have applied oil in the morning, but if it is applied during the night, then wash off your hair next with the same procedure (with a mild and natural shampoo-conditioner).
Suggestion: The temperature of the water, used for washing hairs can also affect hairs badly. So in winter, wash your hair with a little warm water, and in summer, wash you can wash them with cold water.
Now, I know you must be wondering, "But which hair oil is the best for my hair type?" Well, the answer is, it depends!
