To use dry oil on your hair, apply a few drops to damp hair and then comb it through.
Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Dry Oil
Using dry oil can be a great way to add moisture and shine to your hair without making it feel greasy. Here's how to do it:
- Choose the Right Oil: Look for dry oils that are high in monounsaturated fats, like avocado oil. These are easily absorbed by the hair.
- Start with Damp Hair: After washing your hair and towel-drying, your hair should be damp, not soaking wet. This allows the oil to spread evenly and absorb better.
- Apply a Few Drops: Begin with just a few drops of dry oil in the palm of your hand. You can always add more if needed, but it’s easier to start small and avoid overdoing it.
- Rub Between Hands: Gently rub your hands together to distribute the oil evenly on your palms.
- Apply to Hair: Run your hands through your hair, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends. Avoid applying the oil directly to your scalp as it can cause build-up.
- Comb Through: Use a wide-tooth comb to distribute the oil evenly throughout your hair. This also helps detangle and prevent clumps.
- Style as Usual: You can now style your hair as you normally would.
