Hair Oiling Myths You Need to Stop Believing

Hair Oiling Myths You Need to Stop Believing

Hair oiling is powerful — but also misunderstood. Let's clear the biggest myths so you get the maximum benefits from natural oils.

Myth 1: Oiling causes dandruff

Not true. Using the wrong oil or not washing properly causes flakes — not oiling itself.

Myth 2: Thick oils clog the scalp

Only if applied excessively. Light layers of coconut, sesame, or amla oil nourish without clogging.

Myth 3: Oiling grows hair overnight

Growth takes consistency. Oiling supports stronger follicles, not instant results.

Myth 4: Oiling is only for dry hair

Even oily scalps benefit — oiling balances sebum production and reduces hair fall.

Myth 5: Men shouldn’t oil their hair

Men benefit just as much — especially for thinning hair.

A correct oiling routine boosts growth, strengthens roots, and improves overall scalp health.
