Do I need to wash off the hair oil?

Depending on the specific situation, essential oil hair care generally has two types: use before shampooing and use after shampooing.

1. Before shampooing

Most hair care essential oils are liquid preparations extracted from plant distillation. They contain a large amount of plant base oils and a large amount of fatty physiological components. If you use hair care essential oils before shampooing, the amount of essential oils used is generally large, which can easily cause human hair to be greasy and not refreshing and need to be washed. Secondly, before shampooing, using essential oils will also involve head massage, and the essential oils will penetrate into the roots of human hair. If they are not washed, it will be harmful to human health.

2. After washing your hair

Generally speaking, when using essential oils after shampooing, the amount of essential oil used is not too much, and the hair can absorb it. In this case, the essential oil does not need to be washed off, which will neither cause greasy hair nor pose a threat to human health.

When to use hair care essential oil

Hair care oil is generally used after shampooing. After you clean your hair with shampoo, you can apply the hair care oil on your hair, massage for 20 minutes, and wrap it with plastic wrap to allow your hair to fully absorb the essential oil ingredients. When using hair care oil, the more important step is to fully massage the hair and scalp after applying the essential oil, so as to achieve the best hair care effect. But everyone should pay attention that hair care oil can be used 1-2 times a week, and it is not necessary to use it every day.

How to use essential oils for hair care

1. Before shampooing

When the hair is damaged, you should use the essential oils needed by the scalp before using shampoo (such as: use lavender, chamomile, geranium, rose, and jasmine to moisturize and repair dandruff; use tea tree, lavender and chamomile to treat fungi, but tea tree is the best choice; when hair loss is particularly high, rosemary and geranium can be used to help hair growth; geranium can be used to treat baldness and promote blood circulation). Apply hair care oil to the epidermis and easily damaged hair ends, massage the scalp carefully. If the scalp is particularly dry, add base oil to blend, massage with a yoga stick until absorbed, then roll it up with a hot towel. This will better help moisturize and repair, and finally rinse with clean water.

2. When washing your hair

When using shampoo, try to use neutral shampoo, which is conducive to protecting hair and repairing it and helping the scalp detoxify. Because essential oils play 40-70% of the function of paste, and hair itself contains protein, gel shampoo can easily cause hair burns and scorching. On the contrary, essential oils in paste shampoo can make hair smoother and more shiny. Use shampoo (neutral) to blend 2-3 drops of essential oil and massage for 10-15 minutes, which helps the essential oil absorb and detoxify. After washing, rinse repeatedly with clean water until there is no shampoo on the hair.

3. After shampooing

After shampooing, wipe off the moisture with a towel, then gather the hair little by little and use a hair dryer until it is half dry. You can make various hairstyles according to your personal preferences. If the hair is relatively dry, you can apply jojoba oil, wheat germ or sweet almond oil to repair and reshape it. It can also be added to the styling agent to shape it, which is moisturizing and textured. It can be blended into elasticizer and gel to prevent the hair from drying, so as to avoid static friction when combing. When blowing, you must control the temperature of the hair dryer. For people with soft hair, when combing the hairstyle, spray a few drops of single essential oil base oil on the hair when spraying the moisturizing styling lotion on the hair. It will exert elasticity and strength, make the hairstyle last, and increase the repair and fluffy feeling of the hair. If the hair is tangled, you can wipe a little base oil on the hair tip or comb to repair the hair scales instead of pulling it off forcefully.
