Mothers, all over the world, advice their daughters to use hair oil to keep the hair grow to the fullest and look great. However, recent medical studies have suggested that hair oils do no good to the scalp and hair than just providing a relaxing massage. It was revealed that application of hair oil, in no way, was instrumental in promoting or maintaining growth and development of hair.

The studies noted that hair oil does not add shine or luster to hair and are as good as a massage for making the hair grow thicker, longer, and darker. It was also suggested that oiling hair is not effective for stopping hair fall and does not demonstrate efficacy for accelerating hair regrowth. To add to the woes, hair oils can actually attract dust and convert the hair and scalp to become breeding grounds for infections. It was also noted that hair oils are good only as scalp conditioner but only when the oil is left on the clean scalp for at least 7-8 hours at a stretch. Hair oils were found to be good only for stimulating the circulation in the scalp and helping one relax.

If you want to get any benefit from oiling hair, it is highly recommended that you apply warm oil and spread it gently and evenly to the scalp. You need to leave the oil overnight and wash it with a natural and mild shampoo by using warm water. To get optimum benefits of hair oil, you can try wrapping a towel after it has been soaked in hot water for around 15-20 minutes after a massage.
