What is hair oiling and why you should be doing it?

Hair oil and hair oiling have become the new hair care buzz words. In 2022 we saw the rise of natural hair care, caring for curly hair and many videos on Instagram & Tiktok talking about ancient hair care practice.

Why should I be oiling my hair?

Hair oiling has been used as a hair care technique for centuries. In Ayurveda (an ancient Indian natural medicine discipline), hair oil and oiling form a part of daily ritual for maximising hair health. 

The use of hair oil is suitable for hair of all types, lengths, and colours - you simply can vary the way you actually use it to suit your needs. 

But how does it work?

The technique of hair oiling helps to provide nourishment to the hair scalp, body and ends. The action of massaging the scalp stimulates blood circulation and activates the hair follicles, which in turn promotes faster hair growth and new hair growth. By oiling the body and ends of the hair, you protect the hair from damage, free radicals and prevent dryness and/or frizz. 

For centuries people have documented the benefits of using certain hair oils and hair massage to reduce hair fall, promote new and healthy hair growth, and prevent other hair related problems such as dryness, frizz, breakage, and colour fading.
