How to Use a Hair Oil

There are many ways you can use an oil as part of your hair care and styling routine. Whether you apply it before the shower and using shampoo or to help tame frizzy hair. Hair oil is very versatile, just this one product can do so many different things!

1. As a Pre-Shampoo Treatment

You put your hair through a lot daily—and everything from water to colouring to styling can leave your strands feeling dry. Try using a hair oil as a pre-shampoo treatment to help moisturize your hair before washing which helps your hair retain its natural oils.

Overusing styling products can weigh hair down and even make it look overly oily. Try using a lightweight hair oil that can help add shine and turn dry hair into silky strands without any weigh down. To use hair oil for a lightweight shine, apply a small of oil amount onto dry strands and stay away from your roots, focusing on applying the hair oil to the ends of your hair instead.
