For generations, hair oils have been used to stimulate hair growth and to prevent and solve a variety of hair problems. Our grandmothers were very fond of raving about the benefits of hair oils, weren’t they?

FAQs on Hair Oiling

1.     Should you leave your hair oil in overnight?

No, you should not leave oil on your hair for more than 6-8 hours, as it might make things tricky. The oil can lead to the accumulation of a lot of dust, dirt, and grime to your hair. It will take a lot more effort to wash your hair with all the extra stuff to wash off.

2.     How should you oil your hair before shampooing?

First, massage oil into the hair and scalp and leave it on for 30-60 minutes. Now, thoroughly wash off the oil from your hair with a shampoo. Make sure you comb and detangle your hair before and not after massaging the oil into your hair.

Good hair oils contain a potent dose of nutrients (not too potent as to make them harsh on hair) to do what they are supposed to do. Depending on the type of hair oil, it can moisturize and nourish hair, reduce irritation in the scalp, reduce frizz, promote hair growth, protect from hair damage or heal and repair the hair from within. Of course, some oils are capable of more than one of these functions.

Choose oils which can help strengthen, repair, nourish and protect hair from within. We suggest you try Follivita-52 hair oil.

3.     How much hair oil should you use?

Some people soak their hair in so much oil that it starts dripping. Actually, your hair and scalp do not need that much oil. The more oil you use, the more shampoo you will need to rinse it out. This can dry out your hair and can also lead to scalp eczema.

4.     Should you warm the oil first?

Warm oil penetrates better. Since oil molecules tend to be big, it is not easy for them to make their way inside your scalp. If you warm the oil, it will help in breaking these molecules and allow your scalp to get better nourishment.

5.     Should you tie your hair after applying oil?

When you massage your scalp, the hair cuticles open up. This increases the chances of you losing out on strands if you tie your hair too tight.

6.     How should you oil your hair?

Step 1: Apply oil on your scalp and massage the oil into the scalp with your fingertips. Use gentle circular motions.

Step 2: Apply the leftover oil to your hair.

Step 3: Wash off the hair with shampoo

Step 4: Condition as normal.

7.     Which oil should you use?

It is best to use natural oils like coconut oil, almond oil, etc. However, if you suffer from hair loss or hair fall, it is best to use a specific hair oil treatment such as Follivita-52. Follivita-52 is a homeopathic hair treatment that nourishes the roots of the hair and obstructs the production of DHT (hormones responsible for hair loss).  It is a complete 45-day treatment that can give your hair a new life!
