The benefits of a hair oil

 

Hair, like the rest of the body, is a living part of our body that requires regular attention and maintenance..

 

Vegetable oils, due to their richness in ceramides, fatty acids and vitamins, provide a number of benefits for the hair, depending on the oil chosen. In general, vegetable oils nourish, strengthen and protect the hair. Externally, it helps to soften them, smooth the hair fiber, remove frizz and make the hair shine. Some also help regulate sebum production, stimulate cell renewal, repair split ends or even stimulate hair growth.

 

The application of a vegetable oil is especially beneficial for dry, brittle and/or damaged hair, in order to limit the damage and regenerate the health of the hair. Frizzy hair, which tends to be drier and more brittle than other hair types, often requires more attention and oil-based care.

 

 

The benefits of an oil bath on the hair

 

One of the many possible applications of a hair oil is the oil bath. It is a deep treatment that nourishes and hydrates the hair in depth, and thus gives the hair the benefit of all the active ingredients of the oil that is used.

 

Be careful not to take the oil bath literally: it's not about literally bathing your hair! We explain to you below in the article how to make an oil bath properly!

How to properly make an oil bath?

 

The oil bath has to be done before a shampoo, on dry or lightly damp hair.

  • Take the equivalent of about one to two tablespoons of the Botanic Oil, and apply to your hair at the lengths. You can use the rest of the oil to give yourself a little hair massage.
  • Leave on for 1 hour minimum, the best is to keep the treatment all night, wrapping your hair in a hot towel. The heat will allow the scales to open and the active ingredients in the oil to penetrate better. To heat the towel, you can simply moisten it and put it in the microwave for 1 min.
  • Finish your oil bath by shampooing as usual. Lather it all over the scalp, and repeat the operation if necessary. Finish rinsing with cold water to close the cuticles of the hair and make them shine.

 

To add a touch of hydration to this treatment, add a small amount of the Hydrating Hair Mask and do the Infinium Ritual!

 

 

 

 

Vigilant points:

 

1/ Be careful that the hair is not dripping, but simply covered with a thin layer of oil. Too much oil does not boost the active ingredients and can, on the contrary, cause unwanted reactions: suffocation and saturation of the scalp, increased production of sebum and dandruff at the roots... So adapt the quantity to your volume of hair!

 

2/ Do not multiply the oil baths to amplify the effects. Adopt this deep treatment as a ritual once a week, that is enough in most cases. You can even space them out for up to two weeks: your hair must have time to benefit from the active ingredients provided to it!

 

3/ SOS colored hair: will the bath cause the color to fade? No way ! The Rodolphe&Co Botanic Oil is completely suitable for colored hair, no risk!
