When should we apply oil on hair?

As per Ayurveda, it is better to apply oil to your scalp and hair at night before you take a head bath next morning. If you don't feel like leaving your hair oil overnight, apply oil and massage it into your scalp and hair half an hour to 1 hour prior to your hair wash.

Is oiling really good for your hair?

Apart from hydrating your scalp and stimulating hair growth, hair oiling also strengthens your hair. It provides important minerals and nutrients for the scalp. This may prevent external damage and strengthens the hair as well. Therefore, having strong and healthy hair is also one of the benefits of oiling hair.
