A Guide to Incorporating Hair Oil into Your Hair Care Routine

April 11, 2023

Hair oil can completely transform the health and appearance of your hair, leaving it soft, shiny, and deeply nourished.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to get the most from your current routine, using hair oil the right way can make all the difference. Here are simple yet effective tips to help you seamlessly weave hair oil into your routine and unlock your healthiest, most radiant hair yet.

Start with a Small Amount

When incorporating hair oil into your hair care routine, it's best to start with a small amount and adjust as needed. Begin with a few drops or pea-sized amount of hair oil, and increase or decrease the amount based on your hair length and thickness.

Apply Hair Oil to Damp or Dry Hair

Hair oil can be applied to either damp or dry hair, depending on your preference and the type of hair oil you're using. Applying to damp hair can help seal in moisture and provide added nourishment, while applying to dry hair can help tame frizz and add shine. Experiment with both methods to see which one works best for your hair.

Focus on the Mid-Lengths and Ends
When applying hair oil, focus on the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, as these areas are typically more prone to dryness and damage. Gently work the oil through your hair using your fingers or a wide-toothed comb for even distribution.

Incorporate Hair Oil into Your Scalp Massage Routine

If you're using hair oil for its nourishing properties on the scalp, consider incorporating it into your scalp massage routine. Massaging your scalp with hair oil can help stimulate blood circulation, promote a healthy scalp, and enhance the absorption of the oil. Use your fingertips or scalp massager to gently massage the oil into your scalp in circular motions for a few minutes before rinsing or leaving it on as directed.

Use Hair Oil as a Pre-Shampoo Treatment

Using hair oil as a pre-shampoo treatment can provide extra hydration and protection to your hair. Simply apply the oil to your hair before shampooing and let it sit for about 15-30 minutes, or as directed by the product label. This allows the oil to deeply penetrate the hair shaft and provide nourishment from within. Follow with your regular shampoo and conditioning routine.
