Is Oiling Hair Overnight Good or Bad?

Taking good care of your hair can sometimes feel like a full-time job. Researching products and using different methods to nourish your hair can be overwhelming. One of the topics that are at the center of mixed reviews is oiling hair overnight. 

DEEP CONDITIONING: Oiling your hair overnight, as opposed to 15 minutes, provides the ultimate deep condition. This is different from an overnight hair mask because the oil penetrates the strands and seals the cuticles down. Porous hair is when the hair cuticles open up. This allows for moisture in but also allows for it to seep out just as quickly, often leaving hair dry. Hair oiling helps seal down the hair cuticles, which allows it to condition the strands past the outer layer deeply. By keeping it on overnight, you allow longer absorption. Oiling hair overnight can also: –Enhance Hair Growth –Reduce Hair shedding –Improve Scalp Health –Natural Shine and Lustre –Split End Prevention –Softer and More Manageable Hair.

SHOULD WE BE USING SPF ON OUR SCALP AND HAIR?

Summer is here, and let’s protect our scalp and hair from the UV rays. Your scalp is especially prone to sunburn and UV damage, which is why about 10% of melanomas occur on the scalp. As you get older and your hair starts to thin, that’s when you become a little more susceptible because you don’t have as much natural protection of the scalp. Here are some examples of great products you can find to protect yourself head to toe.
