The other day I found a one video where creator claims to be a health expert and saying hair roots doesn’t need any oils to be healthy and that actually blow my mind not only because I know the real science behind the hair oiling but also we heard it from our DADI AND NANI that oils actually strengthen the hair roots and nourish it.
Let’s Check Quickly behind these Topic!!!
• Hair oils improves circulation in the hair scalp and hence helps in strengthening and maintaining its health.
• Hair oils provide moisture to scalp hence it prevents dryness and flakiness of scalp.
• Hair oil before washing acted as protective layer against water harshness.
• Hair oil in the lengths and tips prevent dryness and frizziness and split ends.
• Hair oils with soothing ingredients May reduce stress and helps to calm mind.
Breaking few myths
• Hair oils never cause dandruff, actual cause of dandruff is dryness.
• Hair oils provide overall hair health but it never to claim as increasing hair growth.
• Hair oil cause hair damage is not claim by any research till today.
• A safe ingredients hair oil never be a reason of cancer.
Few things to note:
• Read ingredients of you hair oil before application only use safe and trustable brand.
• Oil your hair 2 to 3 times a week for 2 to 3 hours before head wash.
• If possible apply oils at warm temperature as it boost circulation and soothing scalp.
• Avoid hot shower as it strip away the benefits of oil.
If you are using hair oils keep using it do not follow any claims until it comes from authentic source. Use natural oils with pure ingredients and avoid one which contain high percentage of mineral oil in it.
I grew up hearing about hair oiling from my grandma, and while I know it isn’t a miracle solution for hair growth, it has always helped keep my hair less dry and more manageable. Posts like this encourage us to look beyond social media trends and understand the science behind everyday practices.
Thanks for sharing this. Nowadays, it’s a very controversial topic. Everyone has something to say. This post clears my doubts. I personally prefer hair oiling, as it keeps my hair healthy.
When I was a student, my friends used to bully me for oiling my hair and label me as “broke.” But later, I saw the same people applying hair gels just to look polished. That’s just an opinion of how we look. To be honest, nothing can nourish your hair as effectively as oiling.
Hair oiling is the supportive haircare practice rather than a miracle treatment . Choosing correct oil which is suitable for our scalp is most important
Oiling has done wonders for my hair. I had really frizzy and dry hair and oili ng really changed the game for me. I use it as a pre shampoo treatment and get amazing results
It’s fascinating that our grandparents knew what works without knowing the science behind it. They just believed it, most probably because they were rold the same from their parents or grandparents.
Just goes to show that ancient knowledge is about finding the “what works” and modern science is about "why and how"of the work
Hair oiling can be beneficial, but choosing the right oil is just as important. As you mentioned, selecting an oil that suits our hair type and avoiding unsuitable mineral oils can make a significant difference in maintaining healthy hair.
I like that this post separates myths from evidence instead of taking an extreme position. Hair oil isn’t a magic solution for hair growth, but it can help reduce dryness, protect the hair shaft, and improve scalp comfort when used appropriately. At the same time, persistent hair loss should always be evaluated for underlying causes like nutrition, hormones, or medical conditions. Thanks for sharing a science-based perspective
Great summary! I think the key takeaway is that not everything we see on social media is backed by evidence. Evidence-based information should always come first.
I have an oily scalp, so my dermatologist recommended me not to do frequent oiling and apply oil only for 1-2 hours before hair wash. I think it also depends on whether your scalp is oily or dry. People who have a dry scalp can do frequent oiling; also the type of oil you use matters.
But later, I saw the same people applying hair gels just to look polished. That’s just an opinion of how we look. To be honest, nothing can nourish your hair as effectively as oiling.
