3. For the oily scalp
With the oily scalp if your hair starts getting oily just after a day post washing your hair, even then you should not wash your hair on a daily basis. To keep your scalp oil-free you can wash your hair 4 times a week as this will keep the oily scalp at bay. Even the biggest of dermatologists and stylists do not recommend washing your hair on a daily basis. Our hair is like fibers and the more we wash them the more they get to wear off. Thus, no need to wash them daily.

4. Leave the oil on your scalp overnight
Sometimes even after oiling your hair before washing them results in very dry and brittle hair. This happens because your hair oil may take time to get absorbed into your scalp. Thus, in order to get the best out of your hair oil, it is advisable to leave the oil on your scalp overnight or for at least 4-5 hours before washing it off.
