Applying too much oil

    Oiling provides nourishment to our hair. But over-oiling may clog our hair follicles and attract dirt. More oil doesn't mean more nourishment.

Leaving oil overnight

    We have always heard, we must leave oil in our hair overnight, but it can weaken our hair roots and clog scalp pores. Instead, limit it to two hours for better results.

Combing hair after oiling

    When we oil and massage our hair, they are more fragile and prone to breakage. Avoid combing your hair after oiling; instead, first comb your hair and then do the oiling.

Tying hair tightly

    When we tie our hair right after oiling, they are more prone to damage. It may cause stress in the roots, which may lead to excessive hairfall. Opt for a loose hairstyle to prevent any damage.

Applying Oil to wet hair

    Applying oil on wet or damp hair can trap the moisture and weaken the roots. Make sure to always apply oil on completely dried hair to get the best benefits.

Vigorous massage

    Always opt for a light and relaxing massage while oiling your hair. Massaging stimulates blood circulation, but being too harsh may cause damage and cause hair to fall out.

Applying cold oil

    Using oil straight from the fridge can shock your scalp and tighten hair follicles. Warm the oil slightly to improve absorption and provide a soothing, nourishing experience.
