HOW TO HAIR OIL
For the main event, simply follow these five easy steps to allow your tress to thrive…
Firstly, apply enough of your chosen oil that it covers your scalp and hair – starting from the ends and working your way up. The trick here is to not saturate your tresses. If it's dripping or showing up on your pillow, then it’s too much. We suggest applying a thin layer that coats each length. Next, massage in the formula with fingertips using a circular motion. Then, apply the oil left on your palms to your hair. Follow by covering your head with a towel or shower cap and leave on overnight for it to soak in the goodness. The next day, shampoo hair while dry and rinse thoroughly. Finally condition your locks and style as normal.
HAIR OILING FAQS
We suggest oiling at least twice a week. Do this the night before you plan to wash your hair or, if leaving oil on overnight isn't possible, you can oil your hair and wrap it in a hot towel for an hour before you shower. This will extract nutrition from the oil in a shorter time frame.
It’s as easy as washing your hair with your go-to shampoo not once, but twice. This is the best way to cleanse your scalp and remove excess oil from your treatment. It also ensures you get the most out of oil treatments without over-stripping your hair and causing damage.
Yes, using oils in your hair overnight is good for your hair, and can offer various benefits, such as hydration, nourishment and soothing irritated scalps.
