Method 1: Select the oil used.
1, determine how many oils to use. You can apply only one oil to your hair, or you can apply two or three oils. It depends on your budget and the frequency of oiling care you want. There are two basic types of oil-base oil and essential oil.
The base oil is used to mix with higher concentration essential oil.
Many people choose to only apply base oil to their hair. Therefore, you can also not use essential oil.
The concentration of essential oil is higher. After diluted with base oil, apply them to the head, but only to the scalp and hair roots.
2. Select the base oil. Whether it is used to dilute essential oil or directly used, base oil is essential. There are many kinds of base oils to choose from, each of which has advantages and disadvantages. Almond oil: Almond oil is rich in vitamin E and healthy fat that is very beneficial to hair. It has an outstanding effect on treating scalp dryness and dandruff.
Moroccan nut oil: Moroccan nut oil is produced in Morocco and is rich in antioxidants. Although users agree that it can significantly improve hair quality and skin quality, it is more expensive. Cheap Moroccan nut oil on the market is probably a fake and not worth spending money on.
Avocado oil: Avocado hair care essential oil is the most popular among African-Americans with natural hairstyles. Because it has super moisturizing ability, and the price is not expensive!
Castor oil: Castor oil is thought to stimulate hair growth, relieve hair loss, treat dry scalp, prevent hair from splitting, and increase luster. However, castor oil is very viscous, and many people don't like this feeling. If castor oil is used, it must be diluted with clear oil such as grape seed oil.
Coconut oil: Besides moisturizing hair and scalp, coconut oil is also rich in protein. It can repair damaged hair, because the hair is mainly composed of protein. But coconut oil also has a disadvantage, that is, its solidification temperature is relatively low. To melt coconut oil, you can warm it by hand before using it, or put it in the microwave for 2 to 3 seconds.
Extra virgin olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is considered to prevent hair loss, treat scalp dryness, and improve moisture and gloss. It also has antibacterial and antifungal functions, which can protect the scalp from dandruff and other problems. However, it's a little too thick for thin hair.
Grape seed oil: Grape seed oil is relatively thin, which may be the most practical for people who don't need to moisturize their hair. If your hair is healthy, you can use it as a balanced moisturizer.
3. Choose an essential oil. You may think that essential oil is just a little fragrant, but it is far from the truth. Besides improving hair health, different essential oils have different benefits. Using the right essential oil can make you have soft and fragrant hair. Rosmarinus officinalis oil: Rosmarinus officinalis oil has multiple uses, but it is most widely known that it can stimulate blood flow. Applying it to the scalp can improve the health of hair follicles and hair roots. Rosemary is also known as "minoxidil" in plants, which can treat and prevent hair loss. When applying rosemary oil, the scalp will tingle. Rosemary oil is one of the few natural oils that can really moisturize hair.
Grapefruit essential oil: This aromatic essential oil can stimulate hair growth and neutralize the oiliness of hair.
Rose essential oil: Rose essential oil can strengthen hair roots and prevent hair loss. Besides, it smells very good!
Carrot seed oil: Carrot seed oil is rich in vitamins, which can promote the replacement of new cells and really stimulate hair growth.
Lavender oil: Lavender can soothe scalp, relieve dryness, itching and reduce dandruff. In addition, its fragrance can make people feel relaxed.
Lavender oil and tea tree oil are mixed: the mixture of these two oils helps to decompose residual products on hair and make hair lighter. In addition, this formula has a soothing effect, which can reduce the inflammatory reaction and keep the hair moist.
Chamomile oil: Chamomile can soothe and nourish hair and has a calm fragrance.
Eucalyptus oil: Eucalyptus oil can promote hair growth and clean hair. Its best use is to wash your hair occasionally, especially when your scalp is greasy or dandruff. Among other things, it can enhance the luster of hair.
Cedar oil: Cedar oil is very suitable for moisturizing dry hair, which can promote hair growth.
Method 2: Only apply base oil.
1, get your hair ready for oiling. There is only one general practice for oiling hair, that is, combing it smoothly to avoid knotting or staining it. In addition, there is still some controversy about whether hair should be cleaned when oiling. Some people think that if the hair is a little oily and dirty, the effect of oiling will be better, for example, two to three days after washing the hair, while others insist that the effect of oiling is best when the hair is clean and free of dirt after washing the hair. You can try both methods and see which one you like.
2, do a good job of protection, don't let the oil spill everywhere. If you have just started to oil your hair, you will probably make a mess at home. Spread old towels or paper towels in the operation area, including the desktop and floor in the area.
Prepare an extra rag to clean the dripping oil on site.
If there is oil in your hair when you sleep, you can protect your pillow with a plastic pillowcase.
3, care for hair roots and scalp. Pour a teaspoon of oil into your palm. Rub the palm of your hand and wipe off the oil. Fingertips are mainly used when applying oil, so concentrate the oil on this part. Rub the oil on the scalp with your fingertips.
Use massage to apply oil to the scalp and stimulate the scalp. This feeling is great!
Make sure that the entire scalp, including the back of the head, the head-neck junction and the back of the ear, is wiped.
4. Divide the hair into two parts. Starting from the middle of the scalp, put part of the hair on the left shoulder and the other part on the right shoulder. In this way, it will be more convenient to apply base oil to dry hair. You may need to braid some of them to avoid interference when oiling the other part.
If your hair is thick and curly, it's best to divide it into four parts so that the oil can be spread more evenly. Divide it in the middle and divide it again with the line between the ears as the dividing line.
5. Care for hair from beginning to end. If your hair is long, you may have to pour more oil on your hands. However, this will definitely make oil droplets everywhere. No matter how much hair you want to wipe, pour only one teaspoon of oil into your palm at a time, and add more if it is not enough. Run your hand through your hair, from the scalp to the tip. If you feel your hair is dry, add more oil until it is shiny and bright.
Don't forget the hair at the back of your head.
Method 3: Apply essential oil and base oil.
1, prepare the hair and work area. As with direct priming, comb dry hair to untie all knotted hair. Hair can be freshly washed or washed with shampoo for two or three days. Spread old towels or paper towels around to prevent oil droplets from splashing.
2. Mix base oil and essential oil. The concentration of essential oil is too high to be directly applied to the scalp in large quantities. Even after dilution, your scalp will have a strange tingling sensation. Don't worry, it's normal. This is just the performance that essential oil is taking effect! Pour a teaspoon of the selected base oil into your palm.
Add 2-3 drops of essential oil of your choice.
Rub your hands, mix the two oils together, and apply them to your palms and fingertips.
If you want to mix a little more at a time, you can mix 59 ml (1/4 cup) of base oil with 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of essential oil.
3. Rub the mixture onto the hair roots and scalp. Essential oils have no effect on hair shafts and ends. You should apply essential oil to the scalp, hair follicles and hair roots. Massage the scalp with fingertips to allow the essential oil to penetrate.
Remember to massage the whole scalp, not just the top of your head.
4. comb your hair again and divide it in half. Comb your hair with a wide tooth comb to untie the knotted hair. Doing so can put oil on the hair that your fingers have not touched before. Separate your hands from the middle, so that you can divide your hair into two parts instead of handling all your hair at once.
5. Apply the base oil to your hair from beginning to end. Pour a teaspoon of base oil into your palm. Rub your hands again and apply the oil to your palms and fingertips. If you use castor oil, you will? Teaspoon of castor oil and? Teaspoons of thinner and clearer oil, such as grape seed oil. Castor oil itself is viscous.
Run your fingers and palms through your hair and rub the oil on it.
Start near the scalp after the care of essential oil and base oil.
Wipe your hands all the way to the ends of your hair.
After wiping all the hair on one side, remember to pay attention to the hair on the back of the head.
Wipe the hair on the other side in the same way.
Method 4: Oil your hair for different purposes.
1, a small amount of oil for daily care. If your hair is particularly dry, you may need to oil it every day. For example, many African-Americans with natural hairstyles think that applying oil every day is good for their hair health. It can increase moisture and gloss of hair. Don't grease your scalp every day. The scalp itself secretes oil, so the hair close to the scalp is usually very healthy. Applying oil every day will make the hair roots too greasy, which will do more harm than good.
Apply a thin layer of oil to the hair shaft, focusing on the ends of the hair. The oil secreted by the scalp will extend from the hair root to the hair tip. However, for people with long hair, this process will be even longer, making the hair usually appear dry and easy to break. The ends of curly hair are usually dry, because curling and kinking will prevent oil from spreading down the hair.
If you apply oil every day, be careful not to overdo it. Don't soak your hair thoroughly with oil. This will make your hair look flat and greasy, which is definitely not what you want to see.
2, spray oil on the hair to do daily wash-free care. Buy a small watering can that can spray oil on your hair in a large area. When rubbing with your fingers, the oil on your hair is often uneven, and using a watering can help you solve this problem. Dilute the oil with water to avoid clogging the nozzle. Immediately after taking a shower every day, spray the mixture of oil and water on your hair. At this time, the hair should still be wet. Spray only the tip, not the root.
Comb hair, untie knotted hair, and let oil moisten every strand of hair.
Dry your hair and start dealing with the day's affairs.
3. Use oil as a disposable conditioner. You should do deep hair mask care with oil once a week or every two weeks. Soak your hair with oil. When applying oil every day, it is best to apply only a thin layer, but it should be applied thicker when doing disposable care.
Put your hair in a bun. Doing so can prevent the clothes on the shoulders and back from getting dirty with oil.
If necessary, cover your hair with a shower cap. This is a practical practice, especially when you don't have a plastic pillowcase.
If you don't use a shower cap, you can cover your pillow with a vinyl plastic sleeve or two layers of old towels to prevent it from getting greasy.
Leave the oil in your hair for at least eight hours, or until you take a bath the next day.
4. If the hair is particularly easy to break, apply oil when the hair is wet. Many people find that dry and fragile hair is best oiled when it is wet. Use base oil instead of ordinary conditioner, and apply it to your hair immediately after washing off shampoo, twice a week. Shampoo will wash away the natural oil from the hair and make it dry. This is a good time to strengthen moisturizing. Wash your hair and oil it immediately after you start taking a shower. In the next shower, let the oil soak your hair, and you can continue to bathe.
Try to leave the oil in your hair for 5 to 10 minutes.
Wear a shower cap to prevent the oil from being washed away by water before you are ready.
Be careful when oiling in the shower. When you wash the oil out of your hair, the bathtub will become very slippery.
Tips Massage the scalp with oil can promote hair growth.
Try not to let the oil touch the face, otherwise it will easily cause skin conditions.
