To add oil to natural hair, focus on both the scalp and the length of the hair using a sectioning approach for thorough coverage.
Step-by-Step Guide
The video, How To Oil Natural Hair, outlines an approach of sectioning the hair to make sure oil gets to both the scalp and the hair strands effectively. Here’s how you can do it:
- Start with the Scalp:
- Divide your hair into sections.
- Apply oil directly to the scalp in each section.
- Massage the oil into your scalp to stimulate circulation and distribute the oil.
- Focus on the Hair Length:
- After oiling your scalp, focus on the hair length.
- Divide each larger section into smaller sections for better access.
- Apply the oil to each smaller section ensuring to coat the strands properly.
- This ensures all of your hair is oiled thoroughly.
Key Considerations for Oiling Natural Hair:
- Type of Oil: Select an oil suitable for your hair type. Options include:
