5 Hair Oils for Dry Scalp


Dry scalp is very tough to live with as it’s always itchy and flaky.
Dry scalp usually occurs when the pores in our hair are closed, thereby preventing the natural oils from hair follicles to nourish our hairs.


There can be numerous reasons for closed pores such as shampoo buildup or dirty hair.
To solve this problem hair oils can be used to nourish your hairs so that the closed oil pores open up.
1. Coconut Oil
Coconut Oil is pretty much the holy grail of all hair oils.
It acts as a heat protectant, repairs damaged hair and breakage, helps to prevent hair loss, and aids in hair growth.
How to use:
For dry scalp, apply the oil onto the scalp. Since Coconut Oil is solid at room temperature, I suggest you to heat it up and melt it a little, which will make it much easier to apply. Leave it in your hair for 30 minutes to an hour (or even longer) and then rinse with a natural, organic shampoo. Repeat it once a week.
2. Argan Oil
Argan oil, also known as Moroccan oil, is extracted from nuts of the argan tree found in Morocco.
It is jam packed with beneficial ingredients like vitamin E, ferulic acid, and fatty acids, as well as antioxidants, which fight UV rays, and hair cell damage.
Since, Argan oil is not as greasy as Coconut Oil, so it's perfect for more frequent use.
How to use:
Take a few drops to your palm, rub your hands together and distribute evenly on your damp or dry hair, avoiding the roots. Apply it daily for best results.
3. Castor Oil
Castor oil comes from castor beans and is great for hair growth, as it has vital qualities like vitamin E, minerals, and proteins.
Castor oil also contains antioxidants, that supports the keratin in hair, making it stronger, smoother, and healthier.
It offers various great benefits such as controlling hair loss, fighting scalp infections and dandruff (due to its anti-fungal properties), conditioning and moisturizing the hair, and preventing split ends.
How to use:
Since its very thick in consistency, so it's always best to mix just a few drops with a carrier oil (such as olive oil or Coconut Oil), for easier application. Put on a shower cap and leave it on overnight, if possible. Wash and rinse the next morning as usual and repeat weekly or as needed. It also used as a hot oil treatment.
4. Jojoba Oil
This oil is extracted from the jojoba(Pronunciation: ho-ho-ba) plant and is wonderful because its chemical structure resembles the oil that is produced naturally by our scalps - sebum.
This means that your scalp is most likely to readily accept it without showing any side effects.
Jojoba oil, similarly to Coconut Oil, hydrates the hair deep within, moisturizing and treating the hair follicles from the inside.
It also treats dandruff and dry scalp problems, and adds shine and softness.
How to use:
You can use it as a leave-in treatment. Apply it to the scalp before washing your hair and leave in for 30 minutes or even overnight.
Alternatively, you can add a few drops of jojoba oil to your conditioner or apply a little bit to your ends after washing.
5. Olive Oil
Olive oil has rich, moisturizing properties that are amazing for your hair.
It coats the shaft of your hair and acts as a heat protectant, and conceals the damaged hair strands, giving a sleeker look.
Using olive oil for hair will leave it looking stronger, healthier, and shinier.
How to use:
Apply 1-2 tablespoons, once a week, of olive oil to dry or damp hair, distributing it evenly and thoroughly. Wrap in a towel or shower cap and leave on for about half an hour. Rinse with cold water. You can skip the conditioner.
Conclusion
Oiling your hair is the one of the best ways to nourish and massage your hairs. If you wish to read further about Dry Scalp Remedies at Home

Useful Passive Income Ideas 2019

Understand How Passive Income Works The reality is: passive income (at least most forms of it) can take quite a bit of work and effort in the beginning. But it pays off. Why? Because instead of trading money for hours, which is what most freelance designers do, you’re investing hours upfront and then reaping the benefit of your investment for years afterward. Your business models go from this:  Do the work once; get paid once. To this:  Do the work once; get paid forever.
