Unlocking the Secret to Healthier, Stronger Hair Growth — Through Oiling
If your hair feels dry, snaps easily, or refuses to grow past a certain point, your scalp might be asking for a little extra care. And no, it doesn’t mean another serum or a complicated 10-step routine. The answer might be something simple, timeless, and deeply effective — hair oiling.
For centuries, women around the world have used oils to nurture their scalp, strengthen their strands, and encourage lasting growth. Now, science is catching up — confirming what tradition has known all along: a healthy scalp is the foundation for beautiful hair.
Let’s explore why oiling works, how to do it right, and which oils deliver the best results.
Why Hair Oiling Works
Your scalp is skin — and like the rest of your skin, it needs hydration, nutrients, and balance. When it’s dry, tight, or inflamed, your follicles struggle to grow strong hair. Regular oiling helps by:
-
Moisturising and replenishing the scalp
-
Boosting blood flow through massage
-
Delivering vitamins and fatty acids to the follicles
-
Reducing breakage and split ends
-
Creating an optimal environment for healthy growth
A nourished scalp equals stronger roots — and stronger roots equal better hair.
The Key Benefits of Scalp Oiling
1. Encourages Hair Growth
Massaging oil into the scalp boosts circulation, helping nutrients reach your follicles. This keeps them active and encourages consistent, healthy growth.
2. Reduces Shedding and Breakage
Dryness and inflammation can weaken follicles and lead to shedding. Oils like rosemary, bhringraj, and amla help calm irritation and strengthen the hair at the root.
3. Locks In Moisture
Oils act as a barrier, sealing in hydration and keeping the scalp soft while improving elasticity — meaning less breakage over time.
4. Removes Buildup and Balances the Scalp
Lightweight oils help loosen product residue and rebalance oil production, leaving the scalp clean yet nourished.
How to Oil Your Hair — Without the Greasy Mess
You don’t need to drench your hair or leave oil overnight for results. Here’s how to do it effectively:
Step 1 — Timing
Apply oil the night before wash day, or leave it on for at least an hour before showering.
Step 2 — Amount
A few drops are enough. Focus on your scalp and roots, not your lengths.
Step 3 — Massage
Use your fingertips or the Curerest Curescrub to gently work the oil in. This helps stimulate circulation and aids absorption.
Step 4 — Wait
Let it sit for at least 30 minutes. Tie your hair up or use a cap to avoid mess.
Step 5 — Rinse
Wash with a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo. If needed, double-cleanse to remove excess oil.
How Often Should You Oil?
Start once a week and adjust based on your scalp’s needs.
-
Dry or flaky scalp: 2–3 times a week
-
Normal scalp: once weekly
-
Oily or buildup-prone: once every 10 days
Listen to your scalp — it’ll tell you when it’s balanced.
