5 Reasons Why Oiling Your Tresses Is The Holy Grail Of Haircare

Dry, frigid weather, constant use of styling tools and an unbalanced  diet and lifestyle can all be the reason your hair feels dry, dull and  lifeless. While your nani and dadi’s advice to oil it  every single day isn’t half bad, it isn’t suitable for all hair types.  So how do you keep your hair healthy, shiny, bouncy and hydrated without  spending a ton on store-bought products? Here are some easy DIYs to  maintain your lovely tresses and prevent them from turning dry, damaged,  and coarse.

5 Reasons Why Oiling Your Tresses Is The Holy Grail Of Haircare

1. Your Curly Hair Looks Dull & Lacks Shine Parched, dehydrated locks, irrespective of the texture, will look  lifeless and lack sheen. If your hair looks over-dry and aged, it’s a  sign your tresses need added moisture and nourishment.

2. Your Hair Feels Rough If your hair has begun to feel straw-like when you run your fingers  through it, it needs hydration. Rough hair is more prone to breakage,  damage, split ends, and tangled curls.

3. Your Hair Feels Frizzy Lack of hydration makes your curls frizzy. The only way to tame  gravity-defying curls is to use products that give them some  moisture-packed hold.

4. Your Hair Is Breaking It’s a matter of cause and effect. If your hair is dry, unmanageable,  gets tangled easily and feels rough, it is going to break. Losing  between 100 and 150 hair strands a day is considered normal but if you  find tufts of hair in the shower drain, on your pillowcase or on your  floor, it’s a sign your haircare routine is not working.

5. Your Hair Elasticity Is Compromised A sign of healthy curls is their ability to bounce back. A quick tip  to gauge your hair’s health is to check its elasticity. Try stretching  your curls by gently pulling from the tip and watching them recoil back  to their original shape. The more elastic your hair, the better is its  health. Healthy curls snap back into shape without overstretching or  breaking.
