introduction
The most common mistake in using oils is applying them “randomly” to all of the hair and then being surprised by the heaviness, dandruff, or lack of result.
The truth is, the correct question is: What is your goal with the oil?
- If your goal is to reduce hair loss and support hair follicles → scalp
- If your goal is to moisturize and reduce split ends
In this article we explain the difference in detail, and how to apply the oil in the right place according to your hair type.
First: The difference between the scalp and the hair
- Scalp = Skin + Follicles (place of hair growth)
- Hair (ends) = “dead” hair that is not nourished like skin, but needs protection and hydration to reduce breakage
Therefore: Treatment for hair loss starts from the scalp, and treatment for split ends starts from the tips.
