In desi households, the practice of oiling hair every weekend has become a cherished tradition prior to washing. For generations, families have shared hair oil recipes aimed at achieving luscious and silky locks. The typical routine involves applying oil, massaging it into the hair and scalp, and rinsing it out after about an hour. However, celebrity hairstylist Jawed Habib suggests that this method may not be optimal.

In a recent interview with Galatta India, shared on YouTube on March 15, Jawed indicated that applying oil to damp hair yields the best results. Let us explore his insights further.

'Oil doesn't work on dry hair…'

In the video, Jawed expressed in Hindi, “Oil is ineffective on dry hair; this is something that has never been considered before. When you use conditioner, your hair is wet. When you apply soap, your hair is wet. When you use shampoo, your hair is wet. So, why do we apply oil to dry hair?”

How to apply hair oil?

Emphasizing the significance of applying hair oil to damp hair, the hairstylist outlined the necessary steps to follow before and after the oiling process. According to Jawed, the first step is to moisten the hair with lukewarm water, ensuring that it is neither excessively hot nor too cold. After the hair is adequately dampened, the next step is to apply the oil.

Per the hairstylist, the best oil for your hair is mustard oil. Once you are done oiling your locks, comb or brush your hair. Wait for five minutes and then wash it using any shampoo you like. In the end, he added, “If you do this daily, [I guarantee], you won't have hair fall. As long as you are alive, your hair will remain [healthy].”
