Oiling Your Troubles Away

Most hair problems arise from negligence. Proper attention paid helps nip troubles in the bud. A miracle cure for most hair evils is oil. Regular oiling not only prevents and cures most hair problems, it also restores shine to dull, limp hair.

Regular oil massages stimulate hair growth as circulation is increased and pores open out.

Couple this with a warm towel wrapped over the head, and left on for about fifteen to twenty minutes not only does this benefit the hair, but also relaxes the body and mind.

Do not leave unwashed hair with oil for days if your schedule demands increased exposure to the sun and dust. The stickiness of the oil gathers dust easily and causes it to stick to the hair faster, ad oil also has the tendency to heat the head faster in the sun.

Oiling the hair takes care of problems like dandruff and hairfall. It strengthens hair from the root to the tip.It also helps reduce the formation of split ends. A mixture of lemon and coconut oil on the scalp helps get rid of dandruff. Dry, lusterless hair can be rescued using a mixture of the yolk of one egg with half a cup of lavender and olive oil.

If you have oily hair, watch for the intake of oily foods which contribute to the secretion of oil in the scalp.

The right combination of oil and common sense can keep most problems at bay.
