Methods for oiling before washing your hair with shampoo

Dear reader,

This post is just the list of different methods you can prefer for oiling & massaging before you wash your hair with shampoo.

While massaging your scalp with oils/butters, make sure you are using your finger tips for massaging scalp & not your palms. Be gentle with scalp massage.

You can decide the quantity of each blend/mix as per the length of your hair. Use what you have with you, you may add/skip things if you want 😀

Also, depending on your choice, you can -
Either do this pre-poo Oiling/masking an 2 hours before hair wash with Sulfate free shampoo
Or keep it overnight & wash in the morning.

Favorite Oil blends that you can prepare at home:

1) 1 tbs Castor Oil + 2 tbs Coconut/Olive Oil + 1 capsule of Vitamin E (optional)

2)  1 tbs Jamaican Black castor oil + 1tbs Coconut oil + 1 tbs Olive Oil
+ half tbs Jojoba + half tbs Almond Oil + half tbs Grapeseed Oil

3) 2 tbs coconut oil + 1 tbs castor oil + Aloe vera gel - Works great on dandruff & hair fall

4) Coconut oil boiled with fresh clean Curry leaves 🍃🍃🍃 (Use it, ones the oil is lukewarm/cold)

5) coconut oil boiled with fresh clean curry leaves 🍃🍃 + Fenugreek seeds (Use it, ones the oil is lukewarm/cold)

6) Flaxseed gel mixed with Coconut + Castor oil. Check recipe here 

My preferred Hair Mask/Hair butter methods 👇👇👇

1) Use desi ghee (Indian butter) for hair

2) Mango butter from Nature's tattva or from any brand. You can use my code 'SONAM10' & get 10% Off
Melt Mango butter using a double boiler method. Add some coconut oil, Jojoba oil & Amla pulp powder(optional). Mix them & apply on scalp & hair.

3) You can use Shea butter (Use my code 'SONAM10' on Nature's tattva) instead of Mango butter.
But, shea butter doesn't suit many people. Especially those having an acne prune skin. So think before applying shea butter.

3) Sharing few ready made  hair butter products from my trusted brands here.

4. Hope by blendedbotanica. It is an Instagram store by well known blogger Arushi Singhal of @glitternaturally

I have not mentioned addition of any essential oil here, as essential oils are very strong & should be used in correct quantity. It should never be used, more than 2-3 drops per mixture.
Most of the Indian essential oils are either too strong or diluted.
Also, there is no proof that essential oils can actually work on a problem like dandruff, itching or scalp infections.
