🛢️ Hair Oiling – the secret weapon for healthy, shiny hair!
Anyone who came here to worship the secret owl circle 🦉 is in the wrong place –
the owl lovers’ meeting is in the room next door.
But:
If you’ve ever heard that hair oil is the miracle cure for beautiful hair, you’re in exactly the right place ✨
Today, we’ll break down:
what hair oiling really is
how to do it properly
and whether it works for colorful hair, too 🌈
💡 What is hair oiling, really?
Hair oiling means massaging plant-based oils into the scalp and hair to nourish and protect it.
Popular oils include:
🥥 Coconut oil
🌰 Argan oil
🌼 Jojoba oil
🌱 Castor oil
These oils contain:
Vitamins
Fatty acids
Antioxidants
👉 They form a protective layer around the hair,
👉 help lock moisture inside the hair,
👉 and make it more resilient, especially after coloring or bleaching.
⚠️ Important:
Oil does not add moisture. It seals in the moisture already there.
That’s why hair oiling works best on slightly damp hair or combined with other care products.
🌪️ Why hair care is necessary at all
Our hair goes through a lot:
Environment & weather 🌦️
Styling products & heat 🔥
Coloring, toning, bleaching 🎨
Bleaching in particular is hardcore for your hair structure.
And yes, those of us with outrageously good-looking colorful hair know this all too well 😏🌈
