Dull strands? Itchy scalp? Hair that just won’t cooperate? Sounds like a job for hair oil.
Let’s set the record straight—hair oiling isn’t just some age-old ritual passed down through generations. It’s a legit haircare powerhouse. The secret to those glossy, healthy, living-their-best-life locks you see all over your feed? Scalp oiling. And trust us, when done right, it’s a game-changer.
So, if you’re ready to glow up your hair routine, grab your bottle of the best hair oil (spoiler alert: it’s Sauce), and let’s talk about hair oiling—the cool way.
Why Hair Oiling is That Girl
Before we dive into the how, let’s talk about the why. Think of hair oiling like skincare—but for your scalp. And here’s the deal: a happy scalp = thriving hair. Here’s why it deserves a spot in your routine:
Nourishes your scalp – Say goodbye to dryness, itchiness, and flakes. A well-moisturized scalp is the foundation of healthy hair.
Boosts hair growth – Strong roots lead to stronger strands. When your scalp gets the right nutrients, your hair flourishes.
Tames frizz & flyaways – Humidity? Who’s she? A good hair oil seals the cuticle and keeps frizz in check.
Adds shine & softness – If your hair is looking dull and lifeless, oil is the secret weapon for that lit-from-within glow.
Protects against damage – Heat styling, pollution, and harsh shampoos can stress your hair out. A good oil acts like a shield.
Sold? Thought so. Now let’s break down how to oil your hair for max results.
1. How to Oil Your Scalp Like a Pro
Your scalp is the foundation of your hair health—treat it well, and your hair will thrive. Here’s the right way to oil your scalp:
Start with dry hair – Oiling on damp hair? Nah. Dry hair absorbs oil better, ensuring it penetrates deep into the scalp.
Use the right amount – More isn’t always better. A few drops of a good scalp oil are plenty. (We’re going for hydration, not a grease overload.)
Section & apply – Part your hair into sections and apply oil directly to your scalp. Use a dropper or your fingertips to work it in.
Massage it in – This is the step that makes all the difference. Massaging increases blood flow, enhances absorption, and stimulates hair growth.
Let it sit – For a quick boost, 30 minutes before washing works. For deeper nourishment, leave it overnight.
Pro Tip: If your scalp gets greasy quickly, focus on dry areas and avoid overapplying. (We’re aiming for hydrated, not drenched.)
2. The Right Way to Oil Your Hair
Your scalp isn’t the only part that needs love—your strands deserve some attention, too. Here’s how to oil your hair without weighing it down:
Warm it up – Gently heating your hair oil helps it penetrate better. (Think lukewarm, not sizzling.)
Work through the lengths – Start at mid-length and work your way down. The ends are the driest, so give them extra love.
Braid or bun it up – This keeps your hair from picking up dust (or sticking to your face when you’re trying to relax).
Wash it out well – Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to cleanse without stripping your hair of its goodness.
How often should you oil your hair?
Fine/Oily hair: Once a week is plenty.
Thick/Dry hair: 2-3 times a week for extra hydration.
Curly/Coily hair: Every wash day = an oil day.
3. Choosing the Best Hair Oil (Because Not All Oils Are Created Equal)
If you’ve been slathering coconut oil on your hair and wondering why it’s dry AF… let’s talk. The wrong oil can make your hair greasy, heavy, or even more dry.
What makes a hair oil the best?
Lightweight but nourishing – Because heavy, sticky hair is not the move.
Multipurpose – Scalp care, pre-wash, post-wash, frizz control—one oil, all the benefits.
Clean ingredients – No mineral oils, no silicones, no nonsense.
Good thing Sauce checks all the boxes.
