How to use hair oil? Oiling your hair for the best results

You've probably already dealt with dry, damaged or even frizzy hair, haven't you? You're not alone. Environmental aggressors, chemical treatments and frequent use of heated tools can all contribute to these hair problems. But have you ever considered hair oil as a solution? Whether for daily care or as an intensive treatment, hair oil can truly work wonders.

In this article, we dive into the world of hair oil: from its protective and strengthening abilities to its many uses for the best results. Discover all our tips for healthy hair and regain confidence in your hair 🤍

WHY HAIR OIL?

Hair oil can be a versatile addition to your daily hair care and styling routine, adapted to different hair lengths. For shorter cuts, start with one or two drops, while longer hair may need three drops or more.

Explore different ways to add hair oil to your daily routine to support growth, boost shine, get rid of frizz and protect your hair against breakage and damage:

Pre-shampoo treatment

Using oil as a pre-shampoo treatment can protect your hair from drying out and, with a 5-minute massage, help stimulate the scalp. Apply generously, leave on for 15–30 minutes, then wash your hair.

Apply to damp hair

For better absorption, apply the oil to damp hair. This helps lock in hydration and add shine.

The last step of your styling routine

After styling, apply a small amount of oil to the ends to add shine, tame frizz and protect your hair from everyday micro-damage!

Refresh your style between washes

If you want to space out your washes while refreshing your style, hair oil is an excellent solution. By applying one or two drops to the mid-lengths and ends, you can redefine your hair and bring back its shine without washing it. To scent your lengths between washes, pair it with an alcohol-free hair mist.

HOW TO USE HAIR OIL

How can you give your hair an intensive treatment with a hair oil? This method, used to deeply nourish dry or damaged hair and the scalp, cares for both your lengths and your scalp.

How to oil your hair step by step:

✨ Step 1: Applying the oil

Section your hair and apply the oil generously from root to tip. Gently massage the oil into the scalp to stimulate blood circulation and improve scalp health. Use a wide-tooth comb to spread the oil evenly through your hair.

✨ Step 2: Leave-in time

Leave the oil on for at least an hour, or even overnight for an intensive treatment. You can cover your hair with a shower cap or a towel for better absorption and to protect your bedding while you sleep.

✨ Step 3: Rinse and condition

Rinse your hair with a gentle shampoo, washing twice if necessary. Then apply a conditioner to detangle, hydrate and seal the cuticle. Style as usual.

✨ How often?

How often you should oil your hair depends on your hair type and needs. Generally, once a week is recommended. However, very dry or damaged hair may need more frequent treatments, while oily hair may only need a monthly treatment or one before special occasions.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING HAIR OIL?

A multi-purpose, effective hair oil? Discover the many benefits the Maree Immortelle Infused Hair Oil can offer: stronger hair, a scalp stimulated by massage, and protection against breakage and frizz – find out how hair oil can transform your beauty routine.

A massage that supports growth

Used as a massage before shampooing, Maree's Immortelle Infused Hair Oil helps stimulate microcirculation in the scalp, a gesture that creates an environment favourable to growth. Corsican Immortelle is valued for its soothing properties, and massaging with your fingertips spreads the treatment right to the roots. A stimulated, comfortable scalp combined with well-nourished lengths helps strengthen your hair.

Preventing breakage

By strengthening the hair shaft and providing essential nutrients, hair oil helps prevent breakage – especially important if you want longer hair. Coconut and argan oils are particularly recognised for their effectiveness against breakage.

Nourishing the hair

Hair oils are packed with vitamins and essential fatty acids that deeply nourish the hair. Argan oil, for example, is famous for its moisturising and nourishing properties, leaving hair soft, supple and radiant. At Maree, we boost our formula with vitamin E for complete care.

Reducing frizz

By creating a protective barrier around the hair, hair oils help block out humidity and smooth the cuticle, significantly reducing frizz. Light oils such as coconut oil and light emollients are particularly effective for taming flyaways and giving hair a smooth, silky finish!

TYPES OF HAIR OILS

Let's now explore some of the most popular hair oils and their specific characteristics. Each hair oil offers unique properties and benefits, making it easier to find the one that best suits your needs.

• Argan oil: Extracted from the nuts of the argan tree, this oil is rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Ideal for dry or damaged hair, it improves the texture, shine and elasticity of hair while protecting it from damage.

• Jojoba oil: Light and non-greasy, this oil is similar to the scalp's natural oils. It suits all hair types, hydrates, reduces dandruff and prevents breakage, while regulating sebum production for oily hair.

• Olive oil: Rich in vitamin E and antioxidants, this oil is ideal for dry, damaged or frizzy hair. It improves texture, shine and manageability, deeply nourishing hair and protecting it from damage.
