Hellos! This is once more a specially requested article dedicated to a friend on a comprehensive guide on how to properly use oil on your hair. Here I’ll tell you all you need to know. It’s deep but I’ll tell you most of it. It took me days to write it so readers out there, better appreciate it's length ha ha. All or nothing. A long post. Let the interesting talk begin ^_^ 

Oils contain a good amount of nutrients, vitamins but most importantly essential fatty acids. Essential fatty acids (also can be seen noted as EFAs) are called essential because our body does not produce them yet they are very essential.Oils are chocked with fatty acids, some of which our body can produce on its own. Now to make you understand better let’s make this distinction. There are two categories of fatty acids. Essential and non essential. Our bodies can synthesize non essential fatty acids while it can’t synthesize, essential fatty acids and that’s what make the difference. We won’t dive deep into those but the most important part is most oils contain EFAs those are omega 3 and omega 6. Our hair is also composed apart from the protein and other things we know by an amount of ceramides which is an oil substance that rich in EFAs. That’s why you see products that say contains ‘ceramides’. The work of ceramides is to seal the scales of the hair cuticle, help in the avoidance of moisture loss and also aid in the maintenance of the hair moisture. Therefore it’s beneficial to use oil for both your hair and scalp. In this category I also add butters (example. Coconut butter, cocoa butter and more) since when you melt a butter it becomes an oil.

Now here is my concept on the cases of how you should be wise when using oil.
