Introduction
The most common mistake in using oils is to apply them “randomly” to all the hair and then be surprised at the heaviness, dandruff or lack of result.
The truth is that the right question is: What is your purpose of oil?
- If your goal is to reduce shedding and support follicles → scalp
- If your goal is to moisturize and reduce split ends →
In this article we will explain the difference in detail, and how to apply the oil in the right place depending on your hair type.
First: the difference between scalp and hair
- The scalp = Skin + follicles (place of hair growth)
- Hair (ends) = “Dead” hair does not nourish like the skin, but it needs protection and hydration to reduce brittleness
So: the treatment of flaking starts from the scalp, and the treatment of Split ends starts from the ends.
When to apply oil to the scalp?
Apply oil to the scalp if your goal is:
✅ Gradually reduce flaking
✅ Scalp health support
✅ Revitalize the scalp with massage
✅ Reduce dryness in the scalp (if it is dry)The right way:
- hair section for lines
- Apply a small amount to the scalp
- Knead 3-5 minutes
- Leave the oil according to the type of scalp
- Wash off with a gentle shampoo
When to apply oil only on the ends?
Apply oil to the ends if it is your goal:
✅ Reduce brittleness
✅ Reduce brittleness
✅ Protect dry/dyed hair
✅ Untangle the tangle before washingThe best time for ends: Before washing (Pre-poo)
- Pass a light amount on the ends
- Leave for 1-3 hours and then wash off
This reduces the dryness of the ends and makes the hair softer after washing.
Do I apply oil to the whole hair?
Depends on your hair type:
Dry or brittle hair
Possible: Scalp + ends
But in a balanced amount (no overeating).
Oily hair
The best: The scalp is only in a small amount
And avoid dousing the ends with oil because it weighs down the hair and is difficult to clean.
Hair with dandruff/itching
The best: Short-term scalping + (Light tips if dry)
And avoid leaving it too long or putting a large amount on the scalp.
Curly hair
The best is often: Before washing
- Scalp with light massage
- Lightweight tips to protect from drying out
And avoid applying heavy oil “after washing " because it can weigh down the definition of curls.
