Oiling your hair in the winter season can be a little off as oil can be cold and sticky. But oiling is an important thing to protect your hair. I’ve known from my grandmother that oiling your hair can help your hair from this harsh environment. Hot oil massage is the best way to pamper your hair in this winter season.
How to do hot oil massage at home
- Take a few spoons of oil ( according to your hair length ) into a bowl and place it on a pan filled with water.
- Warm up the oil for 1 – 2 mins. Check if the hotness is sufficient for your hair.
- Remove the oil from the stove.
- Remove the tangles from your hair before you apply oil.
- You can use your fingers / cotton balls. If it is too hot to use by hand you can dip a cotton ball inside the oil and rub on your scalp.
- Apply the hot oil all over your scalp and massage your scalp gently with your finger for 5 – 10 mins.
- Tie a bun and have shower cap on so that oil doesn’t stick everywhere else.
- You can have it for 1 hour / all night and then shower with hot water.
