What oil can do

Oil can make the hair shaft feel softer and smoother and reduce tangles when combing. Many also enjoy a head massage as a relaxing routine.

When you need more than oil

Oil helps the look and moisture of your hair. For weak follicles, a scalp treatment that reactivates them is a better fit. Read hair-loss myths.

Do not leave it on too long

Oil left on the scalp for days, especially in hot weather or under a tudung, can cause residue and itching. Wash it out thoroughly.

Oily scalp?

If your scalp is already oily, apply oil only to the ends. See oily scalp.
