Benefits of oiling:
- It lubricates and conditions the scalp, helping to prevent flakes and dry scalp without the use of harsh chemical shampoos.

- It helps to enhance blood circulation in the head and neck area. When the scalp becomes 'tensed' from stress, circulation and hair growth impedes.

- It helps in softening and conditioning the hair, making it more manageable.

- Increases hair lustre and vibrancy.

- Prevents hair from falling and removes dandruff.

- It helps in protecting hair from the damaging effects of the sun and harsh weather by improving resiliency over time.

- It is replenishing and rejuvenating for dry, damaged hair, and helps prevent excessive brittleness and split-ends.

- It also helps reduce body heat in general, especially if you have been up late a few nights or your eyes are burning from too much work on the computer or reading.

- The massage can help promote sound sleep at night.


Scalp and hair self-massage:

Pour some oil into a bowl and warm the oil by placing the bowl in hot water. The oil should be warm and not hot. Using the tips of your fingers, apply the oil little by little to different parts of your scalp, parting your hair as needed. Also work some oil along the length of your hair. Then, work the oil into your scalp, using circular motions. Slow, deliberate movements are relaxing while steady but vigorous movement helps enhance energy and circulation. Cover your entire scalp, all the way down the sides to your ears and at the back to your neck. Leave the oil on for at least 30 or longer if you can. If you like, you can dip a towel in hot water, wring it out, and wrap it around your head after your massage for added conditioning. You can even leave the oil on overnight - place a thick towel over your pillow to protect your linens. Shampoo out with a gentle, natural shampoo.

Oiling your hair everyday would be too much to ask for. But do this at least thrice a week. It does make a lot of difference if you keep doing this regularly as it is bound to show on your hair. Having thick and beautiful hair is no more a dream. With proper hair care and oiling one can achieve lustrous hair.
