As soon as the winter season arrives, not only the skin but also the hair starts deteriorating. In this season, hair becomes very dry and lifeless. Besides, the problem of dandruff also increases. In such a situation, hair oiling is the best way to keep hair healthy and moisturized. It also improves hair growth and is also helpful in keeping hair healthy. But there are some common mistakes that women often make while applying hair oil to their hair. This also affects hair growth a lot. Oiling done in the right way gives nourishment, strength and natural shine to the hair, whereas wrong way has adverse effect on the health of the hair.

If you are also applying hair oil to your hair, but there is no significant effect on the health of your hair, then it is possible that you too are making these mistakes. In this article, let us tell you in detail about those common mistakes.

1. Using too much oil: Some women use too much oil for oiling. But this is absolutely wrong. Applying too much oil makes the scalp oily and the pores get clogged. Due to this, the hair roots become weak and hair growth starts to stop. Applying excess oil leads to repeated shampooing to remove it, due to which the hair becomes even drier.

2. Do not massage the scalp. It is more important to apply oil not only on the hair but also on the scalp. But some women forget to massage the scalp. If the scalp is not massaged gently, the oil does not reach the roots. Without massage, blood circulation does not increase and hair growth is affected. Therefore, massage the scalp for 510 minutes. It will also nourish the hair well and blood circulation will also improve.

3. Leaving the oil on for too long. Experts also advise that hair should be washed 2 hours after applying hair oil. But many women apply oil and leave it overnight or for several hours, due to which dust and dirt stick to the scalp. This increases the chances of dandruff, itching and scalp infection. It is enough to keep the oil for 45 minutes to 2 hours.

4. Use of wrong hair oil according to hair type: The texture of everyone's hair is different, for which different hair oils are also available. In such a situation, if you do not use hair oil as per your hair type, then there is no use of oiling. If your hair is dry then coconut, sesame or almond oil is good. Jojoba or light coconut oil is a better option for those with oily scalp. At the same time, it is better to use argan or olive oil for damaged hair.
