Do you have a haircare routine that you follow religiously, yet your hair is dry and frizzy? Is it possible that you are missing out on a vital aspect of your hair care—the hair oil, maybe? Our hair needs natural oils to stay lustrous and healthy.
Frizz isn’t common with healthy hair and with continued mistreatment, hair will end up dry and damaged. The opposite is also true, damaged hair can lead to frizz. Excessive styling, improper hair care routine, use of harsh products and chemical treatments, etc. can cause hair damage.
So ladies, remember to oil your hair regularly and follow a hair care routine that works for you. We suggest you use these homemade hair oils that are perfect for soothing and nurturing your dry locks and calming frizz.

Frizzy hair is when dry hair is formed into independent tightly curled and crimped unruly strands, standing apart from other hair strands around it. It could be due to dry and damaged hair and leads to hair breakage when not handled properly.

Precautions When Using Oils on Your Hair
Some oils tend to cause premature graying when applied to damp hair.
Don’t apply oil excessively, rather, repeat if needed every other day. This way, you won’t weigh down your locks, or send your scalp’s oil levels into overdrive.
Choose hair oil ingredients according to your hair and scalp type when preparing homemade hair oils for best results.
Always mix essential oils with carrier oils before applying. Essential oils should never be applied directly to your scalp or skin. Very few essential oils are exempt from this rule like lavender and tea tree oil.
Always check the expiry dates and consume within the shelf life for best results.
Some oils go rancid easily, prepare smaller batches and store them appropriately to prevent wastage.
Always do a patch test to reduce allergic or adverse reactions.

FAQs
Which oils should not be mixed for hair?
There are no right or wrong combinations. A rule of thumb is to check the shelf life of oils you’re mixing and use accordingly.
Also, dense or high-viscosity oils should be used sparingly or as a pre-shower treatment to avoid build-up or blocking of hair follicles. Examples include castor oil, olive oil (which can clog pores), etc.
Mixing citrus essential oils with a carrier oil and applying them to your hair can leave you open to damage, especially when going out in the sun.
Is it good to put oil on wet hair?
No, it’s not good to apply oil on wet hair. Hair is usually at its weakest when wet and can lead to breakage of hair.
Applying oil to air-dried hair right after showering offers the best results.
Also, some oils cause premature graying when applied to damp or wet hair.
Is oiling hair daily good?
No, you apply only when needed. Usually right after drying your hair post hair wash should be enough for most hair types, with touch during the week if hair is dry or frizzy. Excessive oiling will lead to clogging of pores, reduced circulation, accumulation of dirt and grime, build-up, etc.
