Applying too much oil can clog hair follicles, leading to dandruff and hair fall. If you have acne-prone skin, oiling can make it worse.

Using Too Much Oil

Coconut oil is the best as it gets absorbed well. Other good options are olive oil, sunflower oil, and castor oil (though castor oil absorbs the least).

Choosing the Wrong Oil

Not everyone needs to oil daily. Dry hair may need more oiling, while oily hair needs less. Adjust based on your hair type and season.

Oiling Too Often

Warm the oil and massage gently using your fingertips to boost blood circulation. Focus on the ends to prevent split ends.

Massaging Too Hard

Use a mild shampoo to remove oil without drying your hair. Always follow with conditioner and use a leave-in serum on damp hair for extra protection.
