Many of us have forgotten the goodness of oiling hair regularly. While many of you may not know, but regularly oiling hair is super beneficial in the long run. Oiling your hair is a practice that is probably something your grandmother used to stress on and wanted you to do. But in this day and age when we have absolutely no time to take care of our tresses, oiling is often missed out.
Let’s take a look at astonishing benefits of oiling hair regularly:
1.Stimulates hair growth
Oiling your hair increases or stimulates the circulation of blood to the scalp, helps to bring the nutrients to the scalp, which then works by nourishing the hair,” “And it also acts like a stress buster which is also one of the causes of hair fall.”
2.Hydrates the hair and prevents frizz
Oils like castor oil and olive oil that are rich in Vitamin E and fatty acids are able to create a physical barrier around the hair cells, preventing moisture loss which can leave strands looking dull and dry.
3.Protects the hair from pollution
Many of us aren’t aware of the fact that oiling our hair regularly, also helps it against pollution. While we can wash our face every time, washing our hair at regular interval isn’t feasible. Instead oiling it regularly can be useful as a protective layer for the hair, protecting it from various environmental attacks such as dirt, dust, pollution, ultra-violet rays of the sun.
4.Gives your hair a natural shine and lustre
