News India Live, Digital Desk: Remember in your childhood how your grandmothers used to hold you and massage your head with oil? We used to get teased at that time that we were “sticky”, but the truth is that our hair was so thick and black in those days. Today we are running after expensive serums and conditioners, but hair is still falling. The real shortcoming is not in the “product”, but in our “method”. Hair oiling is not just a ritual, but it is the food and water of the hair. But do you know that applying oil in the wrong way increases the risk of hair breakage? Yes, if you apply oil and rub vigorously, then you are causing harm to your hair and not any benefit. So let us understand in simple words today what is the right method of champi to breathe life into the hair. 1. Not cold, ‘lukewarm’ is magical (Warm it up) Most people take out oil from the box and pour it directly on the head. This is a mistake. Correct method: Always apply the oil in Luke Warm manner. Lightly warm oil opens the pores of the scalp and gets absorbed deep inside. It deeply nourishes the hair.2. Do not rub, caress with love (Be Gentle). Many people become wrestlers while applying oil and rub the head vigorously with their palms. Correct method: Massage should always be done with the fingertips and not with the palms. Massage in circular motion with light hands. This increases blood circulation and provides relaxation, without breaking hair.3. Both roots and ends are important (Roots & Tips). Some people apply oil only superficially, while others apply oil only on the roots. Correct method: Start from the roots because nutrition will be available from there. But don’t forget the ends of the hair. The problem of split ends will reduce only when the ends get adequate moisture.4. How long should you keep the oil? (Duration Matters) Is it necessary to keep oil on overnight? This is a big question. Correct method: Experts say that if your hair is very dry, then it is okay to keep oil overnight. But if you have problem of pimples, then applying oil 1 or 2 hours before bathing is enough. Leaving oil on for a long time causes dust and dirt to stick, which can cause dandruff.5. Do not mess with wet hair. Immediately after applying oil, many people start combing so that the oil spreads. Correct method: This is a blunder! Hair becomes a little delicate after applying oil. Do not comb them immediately or braid them tightly. Leave it loose or make a loose bun.6. Right water for washing: You massaged so hard, but if you wash your head with very hot water, then all the hard work goes in vain. Hot water takes away the natural moisture from the hair. Always shampoo with normal or lukewarm water.
