Rejuvenate your hair: Why oiling is the key to glossy locks

Oiling is a long-established method that gives hair shine. Women started using it intuitively and quickly noticed the results – their hair became not only healthy and strong but also nourished.

Despite the availability of numerous hair care products on the market, oiling has not lost its popularity over the years. What exactly does this method involve? It's nothing more than applying suitable oils to the hair to nourish the strands and make them softer.

There are several popular methods of hair oiling:

• Oiling on dry hair: Oil is applied to unwashed hair, which is an easy and quick method, ideal for beginners. However, the hair must not be weighed down with styling products.
• Oiling on wet hair: Oil is applied to damp, washed hair. Wrapping the hair in a towel is also recommended to intensify the oil's action with warmth. Another option is to dip the hair in warm water with added oil.
• Oiling in broth: This involves soaking the hair in a bowl of warm water and oil. This method allows for the even distribution of the oil and better absorption.

Regardless of hair type, oiling brings many benefits. The effects will be seen quickly: the hair will stop frizzing, and the ends won't split. Oiling protects against adverse weather conditions and helps combat dandruff and scalp inflammations. A good oil works like the best conditioner. It facilitates detangling, reduces static, and decreases susceptibility to mechanical damage. It also positively affects hair growth.

Selecting the right oil is crucial for achieving the best results. It's worth choosing it according to hair porosity. Oils with large molecules, such as flaxseed, hemp, or pumpkin seed oil, are best for high-porosity hair. Oils with medium-sized molecules, like hazelnut oil or olive oil, work well for medium-porosity hair. Low-porosity hair benefits the most from small-molecule oils, such as lauric or myristic acid.
