It is also good for hair to have a good shampoo.
The most common method is to add oil to the shampoo. You do not need to add immediately to the entire bottle, but with each shampoo, apply a few drops to the shampoo and wash your hair with this mass. Another way is to add essential oils to a balm or hair mask in the same way. But it would be better to add essential oils to homemade and natural masksrather than industrial.
Essential oils are an excellent addition to homemade cosmetic hair masks. It is enough to mix 2-5 tablespoons of any fatty oil with 4-6 drops of the required essential oil. The resulting mixture of oils must be applied to dirty, dry hair. Keep under a plastic wrap or shower cap for several hours and rinse. The effect is amazing.
Aroma combing has an excellent strengthening effect - apply 4-6 drops of your favorite oil to a wooden comb and comb dry or slightly damp clean hair.
Another excellent method for strengthening hair roots is a homemade scalp scrub made with coarse salt and an essential oil such as patchouli, ylang ylang or rosemary. Thus, the scalp is cleansed, blood flow improves, and oils strengthen the hair roots from the inside, thereby enhancing growth and preventing hair loss.

Natural oils are also useful after dyeing hair, they will make the color brighter and more saturated, prevent overdrying.
Hair oil, methods of application.
There are several ways to use the oil. The easiest way is to distribute hair oil to damp strands immediately after washing. Such a procedure will not only facilitate combing, but will also act as thermal protection. Apply oil immediately after styling to moisturize the strands for a natural glow. It is also recommended to apply hair oil to the strands as a protective agent before going to the beach or pool. There is one nuance here: first, you need to hold the oil a little on your palms, rub it between them, warming it, then you can apply it to your hair. It is very good to add oils to ready-made cosmetic products, this increases their effectiveness several times. To restore damage, the oil is rubbed into the roots, applied to the strands, paying special attention to the ends. The oil is preheated and applied in a warm form.

How does leave-in oil work?
To avoid disappointment, first of all, you need to understand that indelible cosmetic oils give only visual grooming. They are not intended for the treatment and restoration of hair, but as a preventive measure, they are simply ideal.
As a rule, in the first place in the composition of such products are silicones, and thanks to their enveloping ability, it is they who even out the hair, give it the vaunted smoothness, silk softness and gloss, remove electrification. Silicones also help other components to distribute evenly along the length.
The second required ingredient is directly base natural oils, of which there may be several. They nourish and moisturize hair, make it more manageable, enhance the natural shine, reduce dryness of the ends, and allow the cut after a haircut to stay alive and fresh longer.
Also, manufacturers saturate funds additional additives - vitamins, esters, sunscreens, special pearlescent pigments for a more glossy shine.
Features of the use of indelible oils
Such oils by no means do not apply to hair roots and scalp! This can clog the pores and prevent adequate oxygen from reaching the bulbs.
In addition, one must observe the dosage - it is easy to overdo it with indelible oil, and instead of sleek curls, get sadly hanging fat icicles. Usually, two or three taps on the pump are enough, but it all depends on the type and length of the hair and the degree of damage. Each girl will have to use trial and error to determine her individual one-time portion of the product.
Silicone oils are distributed along the length from about the middle of wet or dry hair, moving towards the ends and paying special attention to them. Beforehand, you can slightly warm up the mass in your palms.
