Shampoo
We all want our hair to look shiny and healthy. In this desire, many people apply light oil to get glow after hair wash, while some people do regular oining to nourish hair. But, do you know that applying oil to hair immediately after shampoo can harm your hair instead of benefiting? You might be surprised to hear this, but there are some concrete reasons behind it. Let’s know why it should be done
-
Wet hair does not absorb oil: When shampooing, the hair gets wet with water. If you apply oil immediately, this excess water becomes a barrier for hair. The oil remains on top of the water and is not able to enter the hair scalp deeply. The result of this is that the hair is not fully nourished and starts to feel sticky and heavy. Oil and water do not get well anyway, so applying oil on wet hair is the same as painting on a wet wall.
-
Hair can look sticky and lifeless: The most common complaint after applying oil to washed hair is that they look sticky. This is because the hair does not get time to dry. When the hair is wet, the oil accumulates on the surface and creates an oily layer together with the remaining shampoo or conditioner residues. In such a situation, your hair can look sticky and lifeless instead of shiny and healthy.
-
Dirt can freeze on scalp: Shampoo cleans not only hair, but also your scalp. Applying oil on the scalp immediately after shampooing increases moisture under the oil layer. This spoils the balance of the scalp and causes bacteria to flourish. It can cause problems like itching, burning or even dandruff.
-
Other hair products can be ineffective: If you use many products such as serum, leave-in conditioner, or heat protector for your hair care, applying oil immediately after shampoo can prevent these products from doing your work properly. The oil prevents other products from entering the scalp completely. This means that you do not get full benefit of your styling or nutrition products.
When should the hair be applied?
There is also a right time to oyling in the hair. When you apply oil before shampooing, it gives enough time to nourish your hair and scalp deeply. The oil absorbs well in the hair shaft, providing them moisture and essential nutrients from inside. It also creates a protective layer, which prevents hair from becoming dry and losing excessive moisture during shampoo. After this, when you shampoo, the dirt along with the oil also washes it, which makes the hair feel clean, soft and nourished.
