The best way to apply oil to your hair depends on your hair type and the oil you're using, but here are some general tips for an effective hair oiling routine:

Select an oil that suits your hair type. For example, coconut oil is great for dry hair, while argan oil is good for frizzy hair, and castor oil can help with hair growth.

Slightly warm the oil before applying. This helps it absorb better into your scalp and hair. You can heat the oil in a bowl by placing it in hot water for a few minutes or warm it in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.

Divide your hair into sections to ensure the oil is evenly distributed.

Start by massaging the oil into your scalp. Use your fingertips to gently massage in circular motions, stimulating blood flow to the scalp, which can promote hair health. Focus on areas prone to dryness or hair thinning.

After massaging the scalp, apply the oil to the length of your hair, especially the ends. You can use your hands or a wide-tooth comb to ensure even distribution.

Allow the oil to sit for at least 30 minutes or 1 hour for nourishment.

After oiling, wash your hair thoroughly with a mild shampoo to remove excess oil. You may need to shampoo twice to ensure your hair is clean.

Use just the right amount of oil for your hair length. Too much oil can be difficult to rinse out and might weigh your hair down.
