AN ESSENTIAL PRODUCT FOR A SUCCESSFUL HAIR CARE ROUTINE

Why should you incorporate oil treatment into your daily hair care routine? What are its benefits? How should you apply it and rinse it out properly?

Applying oil treatment is an essential step in your hair care routine. To have healthy, silky hair, it’s necessary to saturate them with a blend of vegetable oils before shampooing. In this context, it’s essential to choose the right oils and, most importantly, to observe the correct techniques.

If you want to have beautiful, healthy, and silky hair every day, know that oil treatment is essential for achieving this, but you need to know how to do it properly! Here are all our tips on the oils to use and the correct techniques to follow.

WHY DO AN OIL TREATMENT?

Vegetable oil treatment is a care routine recommended 2 to 4 times a month to deeply nourish and hydrate the scalp. Be careful not to overdo it, or you might suffocate the hair fiber! Those who wash their hair regularly should, therefore, take care to do the oil treatment every other time.

Depending on the type of oil you apply, the oil treatment can help regulate sebum, address breakage issues, stimulate hair growth, reduce or prevent dandruff, soften the hair, nourish the ends, smooth the hair fiber, add volume, eliminate frizz, etc.

Above all, it prevents the hair from becoming dry after shampooing, especially if the shampoo you use is particularly foaming.

WHICH OIL TO CHOOSE FOR YOUR HAIR TYPE?

The type of oil to apply for a hair treatment will depend on its needs. Whatever vegetable oil you choose, it’s essential to opt for a 100% natural product, such as those from the Tsara range, for example, to ensure proper hair care.

To hydrate a dry scalp, you can choose coconut oil, which is renowned for its nourishing, antioxidant, and soothing properties. If you don’t like the smell, you can find coconut oil scented with rose, jasmine, or even vanilla in stores. These scented oils spare you from the sometimes rancid smell of coconut, especially when the product is particularly pure.

To optimize hair growth, don’t hesitate to mix your coconut oil with a bit of castor oil, while to strengthen it, you can add argan oil.

Finally, to repair brittle or particularly damaged hair, for example, due to coloring, don’t hesitate to add a bit of shea butter to your mixture. You can consult this article to learn everything about shea butter and its benefits for hair and body.

HOW TO APPLY OIL TREATMENT BEFORE SHAMPOO?

After selecting the vegetable oils, mix them inside an applicator. Then, dampen your hair with a sprayer or a brush dipped in water and distribute the oil section by section on the scalp. This is where the applicator comes in handy, as it ensures better distribution of the oils. Then, gently massage the scalp. You can also run your oiled fingers through your lengths if you want to treat them.

You know you’ve applied the right amount of oil when a greasy film covers the scalp, there’s no need for it to drip onto your temples and face.

Finally, wrap your hair in a heating cap or a warm towel to allow the oils to penetrate the hair fiber properly. Leave it on overnight or at least for an hour before shampooing.

HOW TO RINSE OUT THE OIL TREATMENT?

Once the waiting time is up, release your hair and run your fingers through it to aerate it and lift the roots. Then use a mild shampoo to clean and remove excess oil.

Make sure to choose a gentle lemon shampoo to remove impurities from the scalp. Papaya shampoo is also recommended for further hair hydration and added shine.

Gently massage the scalp to avoid producing excess sebum: simply lather after slightly dampening the hair. This first dry shampooing removes the bulk of the oil and dirt.

After rinsing with warm water, you can do a second shampoo, but with a little less product. There’s no need to scrub too hard; once again, the idea is to finish cleaning and not remove the light greasy film that may remain on the scalp as it actually serves to hydrate the hair. It will be gradually absorbed by the scalp, which will benefit even more from the active ingredients in the oil.
