Oil Training is a natural hair care method that reduces the amount of oil in the hair and scalp by extending the time between shampoos. The main purpose of this method is to help the scalp regulate the amount of oil secreted, thereby reducing oily hair without having to rely on shampoo and conditioner products that often contain chemicals.
Regular use of chemical shampoos and conditioners can upset the balance of natural oils on the scalp. Oil Training helps reduce dependence on these products, allowing the scalp to self-regulate and maintain the necessary amount of natural oils.
By reducing the frequency of washing your hair, your hair will be less exposed to harsh cleaning chemicals, thereby reducing the risk of dry, brittle and broken hair. Natural oils in hair also help protect and nourish hair, making hair healthy and shiny, with less breakage and loss.
Oil Training not only helps save time washing your hair but also reduces the cost of purchasing other hair care products. You can take advantage of natural and easy-to-find ingredients to effectively care for your hair.
Before starting Oil Training, women should determine their hair and scalp type. This helps users better understand hair and scalp type to adjust care accordingly.
Instead of washing your hair every day, you can start by washing your hair every two days, then gradually extend the time between washes to three or four days or even once a week. This process helps the scalp slowly adapt and adjust the amount of oil secreted.
During Oil Training, you can use natural cleaning methods such as washing your hair with baking soda and apple cider vinegar, or natural shampoos that do not contain sulfates and parabens. The above methods help clean hair without losing natural oils on the scalp.
In addition, women should remember to brush their hair regularly to distribute natural oils from the scalp to the tips of the hair, making hair shiny and healthy. In particular, you can also use natural hair conditioners such as coconut oil and argan oil to nourish and protect hair.
Oil Training is not a method with immediate results and the process requires patience to give the scalp time to adapt and adjust. Practitioners may go through periods of oilier hair than usual before seeing positive results.
During Oil Training, women should avoid using products containing silicone or ingredients that clog pores, because they can make oily hair worse.
At the same time, monitor the reaction of your hair and scalp throughout the Oil Training process. If your scalp is itchy, red, or shows signs of irritation, temporarily stop this method.
