How to prepare for oiling hair? Here is a short instruction consisting of three essential steps that should help you perform hair oiling the first time.

1. Determine your hair type

It is worth pointing out that hair is built the same way – but only in theory. Even hair on the same head might differ from each other. Professionally, it is called ‘different types of porosity’. Hair can be low, medium and highly porous. Hair porosity is a reflexion of the level of damage. It is affected by the outer hair layer called the cuticle, which determines how easily moisture and oils pass in and out of your hair. This means that depending on the porosity, various hair types require different types of oils. Therefore, before you start hair oil treatment, make sure to determine the type of your own hair.

Finding an oil which particles will be matching the structure of our hair is the key to success. It will be faster absorbed so it won’t work only on the surface but also from within. Properly matched oil will not weigh it down. Hair porosity is a helpful tip because:

• low porosity hair is fond of butter, eg shea, mango or coconut oil,
• medium-porous hair gets along with, for example, jojoba oil, sunflower oil, pumpkin oil,
• high porosity hair requires, for example, evening primrose oil, argan oil, almond oil.

The last step concerns selecting the method of hair oiling. It is a slightly less significant matter than matching oils to the hair structure, nevertheless, it is still worth mentioning. High porosity hair – damaged will be reinforced faster if we go for hot oil treatment or leave the oil in the hair throughout the night. When it comes to thin and less demanding hair, oiling with a mist will be enough. Also, you can apply a bit of the oil to the hair ends before styling, to prevent damage.
