Hot oil massage is a great option to avoid pores over the scalp, but keeping your hair oiled 24×7 is not a great idea as our body produces sufficient amount of natural oils for hair. So, always keep in mind that you need oiling just for your hair tips and not the scalp. Even if you are going for a hair massage then rinse it off within an hour.
