Most people use far too much oil and far too little pressure. Reverse both and you will see a difference inside a month.
The method
- Warm two tablespoons of oil until it is just above body temperature. Not hot.
- Part the hair in sections and apply to the scalp only, not the length.
- Massage with the pads of two fingers in small circles for ten minutes. Nails scratch, pads stimulate.
- Leave for at least an hour. Overnight is better if your pillow can take it.
- Wash with a mild, sulphate-free shampoo. Do not double-wash.
How often
Twice a week is plenty for most people. Daily oiling in a humid Konkan summer invites fungal trouble on the scalp.
