introduction

Many people apply oil directly to the scalp and then complain: “My dandruff has increased,” or “My hair has become oily and heavy,” or “I haven’t seen any results.”

The reason is often simple: the scalp already had a buildup of oils/dandruff/products .

Cleansing the scalp before oiling is the most important step for faster results because it prepares the scalp to benefit from the routine, and reduces itching and dandruff, especially for oily scalps.

Why is scalp cleansing before oiling important?

Because it helps to:

• Removes grease buildup, flakes, and product residue
• Reduces clogged pores and scalp irritation
• Improve the scalp's absorption of massage and oil
• Reduce the likelihood of increased dandruff after oiling
• It made hair lighter and easier to wash after oiling.

The rule: Oil on an "unclean" scalp = higher probability of itching, dandruff and heaviness .

How do you know if your scalp needs cleaning before oiling?

If you have one or more of the following:

• Clear rind or sticky flakes
• oily scalp quickly
• persistent itching
• Many gels/sprays/styling products are used
• Your hair becomes heavy quickly after any oil

The correct way to clean the scalp (without drying)

1) Lukewarm water

Avoid hot water as it increases dryness and itching.

2) Gentle shampoo (or dandruff shampoo depending on the case)
