CHANDIGARH
We have been told for ages how important oiling hair is. Going proper oiling to the hair roots is Granny’s all-time trick to reduce hair loss and grey. But this myth is not entirely accurate, as oil’s molecular weight prevents it from penetrating the scalp and limits its ability to promote healthy hair development.
Inflammation of the scalp brought on by dandruff and malassezia development from heavy oiling can result in hair loss.
- A deep massage
Strenuous oil massages can promote quick breaking by causing friction between the hair strands. Long-term hair massages strain your hair and damage your strands.
Only five minutes of post-oiling scalp massaging are necessary for hair development.
- Creating tight hairstyles
Resist pulling your hair firmly back into a bun or ponytail after applying oil since this raises the risk of damaging the root and resulting in substantial damage, including hair loss.
In the long run, it may potentially cause traction alopecia. When hair is oiled, it is the most delicate. Your strands may get easily damaged by the pressure of tying it up. Split ends can also form for this reason.
- Applying large amounts of oil
Applying oil doesn’t need using the entire bottle at once. Instead of adding extra oil to an already-oily scalp and leaving it there overnight, use oil sparingly and work your way up. Excess oil implies using more shampoo to remove it from the hair, which is also detrimental to the hair’s health. People with oily hair should only leave their hair in for 2-4 hours since it will be nourished and vitamin-enriched.
As wet oil can block pores, avoid putting hair in it as well.
- Using cold oil.
Applying heated oil is always preferable since it is more effective and quickly absorbs your scalp and hair. Heat oil promotes healthier hair by increasing blood flow to the scalp. Additionally, it supports and strengthens hair follicles.
- Oil kept overnight
When you let your hair remain in oil for longer than 12 hours, your scalp’s natural oil and debris mix together. In addition to making your hair oily and cling, oil on your hair will probably attract dust off your pillow and bed. As a result, it may result in loss of hair and other issues with the hair.
