There is a fine line between using just the right amount and either flooding or starving your hair with the oils.

So how do you achieve the balance? How do you ensure that you use hair oil in just the right dosage and the right way to reap the myriads of benefits they have on your hair? Here are 5 tips that will guide you on how to use hair oil and get the maximum benefits:

Keep it Organic

Organic hair oil is great for infusing and stimulating your hair follicles. It will give your hair benefits from the range of minerals and extracts. These promote rapid hair growth as well as deal with issues such as scalp irritation or dreaded dandruff.

Use Hair oil as a Pre-wash treatment

The main benefit of hair oil is that it keeps your hair moisturized. When you shampoo your hair, sometimes the natural oils are stripped and your gets dry which leads to breakage. You can use your hair oil as a pre-shampoo treatment to ensure that, even if the natural oils are stripped away, the new oils have already locked the moisture in your hair.

Organic hair oil is the best for locking the moisture in each hair strand. Apply a generous amount to your hair before starting your wash regimen.

Use Hair oil For your weekly treatment

Use your organic hair oil for your hot oil treatments to promote healthy growth from the roots to the tips. You only need to slightly heat the oil up then apply it from the roots to the tips. You can cover the hair with a plastic cap or even just your towel then rinse it out after thirty minutes.

Ditch the Heat

It is no secret that continuous use of heat can be detrimental to the hair. If you want to have your hair manageable in the morning, you can use an overnight oil treatment.  You only need to lather your hair strands, wrap the hair and then wake up in the morning to straight non-frizzy hair.

Use Base Oil

Regardless of the type of oil you decide to use, you need to mix it up with a base oil first. The base oil is able to penetrate the hair shaft and ultimately create the perfect environment for growth and healthy hair. Organic oils are light and can be absorbed in a faster rate.
