You decide about the time you want to devote to hair oiling. When you oil your hair, you decide how often you should (or want to) do it. Think if you are interested in intensive repair or maybe just a treatment that will shield, tame and beautify your hair.

There are lots of hair oiling methods, which is the best thing about hair oil treatment.

There are so many hair oiling methods that you will definitely find your favourite.

You are not forced to use only one method in your hair care. Obviously, you can change or combine them.

In other words: thanks to hair oiling, you create your personal, perfectly thought-out beauty schedule that meets your needs.

Hair oiling can be done any time, even at night.

Before you learn about the best hair oiling methods, you must be aware that a hair oil can be applied to dry as well as damp hair. Therefore, there are two versions of hair oil treatment: wet and dry. Each version offers various methods.

WET HAIR OILING

The particles of an oil will be able to penetrate inside hair if you go for wet hair oiling. Cuticles of damp hair are raised, therefore more particles are able to get inside the hair.

Wet hair oiling can be performed in a variety of ways:

1. Hair oiling before washing

You wet your hair with water or a mixture of herbs (e.g. nettle or horsetail infusion) and apply the oil. You apply it to both hair and scalp in this method. The time you keep the oil in hair is up to you. You can leave it in for a few hours, one hour or 30 minutes. The longer it “lies” in your hair, the better.

Next, you must wash your hair with a delicate shampoo free from comedogenic and dehydrating substances. It can be a shampoo for kids.

2. Hair oiling after washing

Damp hair has raised cuticle scales and better absorption, therefore it is fully prepared for repairing power of oil. When you oil hair after washing, you must remember not to apply the oil to the scalp as it would weigh the hair down. We apply natural oil to strands only; from mid-lengths to ends.

3. Hair oiling with a conditioner

It is a very quick and comfortable oiling method. Recommended for women who are pressed for time. It involves mixing a few drops of the oil with favourite hair conditioner, and applying to hair. The oil will enhance the action of the conditioner. It is a natural substance that can get disturbed with synthetic substances of some cosmetics. That is why, you should invest in a high quality conditioner that includes natural ingredients. At the end of the treatment, you thoroughly wash the mixture off.

4. Hair oiling in water bath (in a bowl)

It is a fast method as well. You pour about 5 ml of oil into a bowl or sink filled with water, and soak your hair in. Oiling in a bowl allows to enrich the treatment: you can add an array of natural substances that beautify a hairdo e.g. herbal infusions, milk, honey, aloe vera juice, lemon. After some time, you must wash your hair. You can also put on a towel for intensified effect and let the oil do its best.

5. Hair oiling with a mist

It is a very delicate form of hair oiling. You mix an oil with water or herbal infusion and spray such a mixture onto fresh-washed damp hair. You need an atomiser bottle to spray the mixture on strands. Make sure you don’t use too much oil. 5 ml of oil and 250 ml of water or infusion will be enough. Avoid the scalp when you spread the oily mist on hair. Hair oiling with a mist protects hair from heat styling and facilitates styling a hairdo.

6. Hair oiling in a sauna (wet compress for hair)

It is an extremely comfortable form of oiling that doesn’t require wet hair. You apply the oil to dry hair and scalp, and put on a towel soaked with warm water. Natural oils love heat because it enhances hair repair and makes oil’s particles move more quickly.

DRY HAIR OILING

This type of oiling involves applying the oil to dry strands or scalp. The main task of the oil is to protect and beautify the hair. It will tame unruly strands and prevent static, add smoothness and radiance. Dry hair oiling is able to repair your hair if you extend the treatment.

Here are the best methods for dry hair oiling:

1. Overnight hair oil treatment

You apply the oil to hair and scalp and leave it in for the whole night so that the product is able to deliver intensive repair. It is advisable to cover the hair with a warm towel or shower cap to avoid smudging the sheets and pillows. Next, you must thoroughly wash your hair with a mild shampoo in the morning. Overnight hair oiling is one of the most strongly repairing hair treatments.

2. Dry hair oiling before washing

This form of oiling is less intensive than the overnight treatment. The difference lies in how long the oil stays on hair, which is our choice. We can leave-in the oil for a few hours if we have a day off. It is also possible to make the treatment shorter – 30-60 minutes. Then, the oil must be thoroughly washed off.

3. Dry hair oiling after washing

This method consists in applying the oil to washed and blow-dried hair. Avoid the scalp while spreading the oil. Otherwise, you will weigh the strands down. This form of dry hair oiling is to shield and nourish as well as prevent dullness and frizz. As a result, your hairdo will look amazing right after the application.

4. Hair oiling before styling

If your hair must deal with regular heat-styling and hot airflow (blow-drier, curling wand, flat iron), it should be protected from damage and extreme dehydration. Hair oiling prior to styling will shield your hair from the action of high temperature and various mechanical damages.

5. Hair oiling after styling

You can apply a bit of oil after styling for charming hairdo - full of gloss, bounce and vitality. The oil will protect from harmful weather conditions and improve hair looks.

6. Oiling hair ends

Hair tips are the most damaged hair parts. We should keep it in shape and regularly rub some hair oil. This hair oiling method can be used even several times a day.
