How Often Should You Oil Your Hair? (By Hair Type)
Share
Hair oiling is a time-honoured ritual — a tradition that nourishes not just your hair, but your roots, your scalp, and your sense of self. But when it comes to how often you should oil your hair, one size doesn’t fit all. Your hair type, texture, and even your lifestyle all play a role.
Here’s how to find your perfect hair oiling rhythm with RootRevivalOil:
Fine or Thin Hair
Recommended: 1–2 times per week
Fine hair benefits from lightweight, regular oiling — but too much can weigh it down.
Massage a small amount of RootRevivalOil into your scalp and lightly coat the strands once or twice a week to stimulate growth and boost natural shine without making the hair feel heavy.
Tip: Focus on the scalp more than the ends to avoid build-up.
Medium or Straight Hair
Recommended: 2–3 times per week
If you have medium-textured hair, you can oil a little more generously.
Massaging RootRevivalOil into the scalp and lengths two to three times weekly helps maintain a healthy scalp environment, strengthens strands, and keeps hair naturally glossy.
Tip: Leave the oil on for at least 2 hours before rinsing for maximum nourishment.
Wavy or Curly Hair
Recommended: 2–4 times per week
Wavy and curly hair types often need extra moisture and protection. Regular oiling with RootRevivalOil deeply hydrates curls, prevents frizz, and encourages stronger, more defined strands.
Tip: Apply extra oil to the mid-lengths and ends to lock in moisture and revive natural curl patterns.
Coily or Textured Hair
Recommended: 3–5 times per week
Coily and highly textured hair thrives with frequent oiling. RootRevivalOil’s rich, nutrient-dense formula nourishes each coil, enhances elasticity, and reduces breakage from dryness.
Tip: Use as a leave-in treatment after wash days or braid it into protective styles with a light coating of oil.
Other Factors to Consider
-
Climate: If you live in a dry or cold climate, you may benefit from oiling more often.
-
Lifestyle: If you swim, heat-style, or colour your hair regularly, increasing your oiling frequency can help protect and restore your hair.
-
Scalp Health: A dry, flaky scalp might need more regular oiling, while an oily scalp might need lighter, less frequent applications.
Final Thought
There’s no one perfect schedule — the beauty of RootRevivalOil is that it adapts to your hair’s unique needs.
Start slow, listen to your roots, and allow the ritual to become a part of your rhythm.
