Why should you apply oil to your hair before washing it? This trick makes women jealous, and it’s easy and affordable

Asian women have been known for centuries for their long, healthy and incredibly shiny hair with just one treatment.
Behind that is a simple trick that every woman should try at least once a month or a week.

Long hair is a source of great pride for many women in India, China, Japan or Korea, so they go to extra lengths to ensure that their hair is not damaged by heat, hard water or the styling tools they use.

For example, in India, where Ayurvedic medicine was born, older women take care of the hair health of younger family members. They spend a lot of time together, bonding as a family and taking care of their outer as well as inner beauty. That is why older women apply oil to the hair of their daughters or grandchildren, then massage their hair and help them wash it.

Just as moisturizing creams and oils are used for the body and face, the hair also needs extra care, especially since it is exposed to environmental influences.
Hair oil not only affects the density of your hair, but also its quality. After using the oil, the hair will be richer and shinier, and it will be easier to style. Hair growth is strongly influenced by brushing, as well as massaging the scalp, so the use of oil will help stimulate the hair follicles and relax them. Given that there are many hair oils on the market, few are suitable for use on all hair types.

Castor oil
One of the most famous oils is castor oil. It has been used for thousands of years to reduce scalp inflammation and promote hair growth.

 Amla oil
Another oil suitable for massaging the scalp is amla oil – which you can find in herbal pharmacies. This oil is rich in vitamin C. Besides helping to stimulate hair growth, it also helps in treating dry and itchy scalp.

In addition to these oils, you can also look for Ayurvedic oils – they are usually based on sesame or coconut oil with the addition of herbs.

      How to use the oil

• Heat a few drops of oil in the palms of your hands and apply them on the top of your head, on completely dry hair.
• Then massage your scalp for a few minutes and use the remaining oil to comb your ends with your fingers for extra hydration.
• For best results, leave the oil on overnight and wash it off in the morning.
• The next day, use your usual shampoo and conditioner and style your hair as usual.
• Repeat the process every week and you will notice that after each use, your hair will become stronger and healthier, and the shedding will decrease.
• While using the oil, you can also use a special massage brush so that the oil penetrates the scalp as well as possible, but do not overdo it so as not to injure the scalp.
