Hair oiling has become a recent trend online, but it isn’t a new thing. It is actually an ancient practice that has been around for thousands of years. For those unfamiliar, this technique involves the application of nutrient-rich oils to enhance the health of the hair and scalp.
What Does Hair Oil Do?
Lipids (oil is a type of lipid) play a crucial role in hair and scalp health. They help to form a protective and lubricating barrier that covers the scalp’s surface and surrounds the surface and interior of the hair shaft. This barrier keeps the hair and scalp happy, healthy, shiny, soft and strong [1]. Environmental factors and things like over washing can impact the integrity of that barrier. Consistently using something like an herbal hair oil is a great way to replenish and support a strong and functional protective barrier.
Which Oils Are Best for Your Hair?
Oils that have been shown to improve hair and scalp health include almond oil, castor oil, coconut oil, olive oil, amla oil, argan oil, fenugreek oil, sesame oil and mustard oil [2].

How Often Should I Oil My Hair?
For the best results, we recommend hair oiling once a week!
How Long Should I Leave Oil in My Hair Before Washing?
To get the most nourishment from oiling your hair, a good timeframe is to leave it in around 30 minutes to 4 hours, but you can leave it in overnight. In fact, many of our customers like to apply The Hair Oil before bed, then wash their hair in the morning.
Is The Hair Oil Suitable for All Hair Types?
Yes! All hair types can benefit from our hair oil. If you tend to have more of an oily scalp, we just recommend thoroughly washing hair with a clarifying shampoo after oiling treatments.
