Many people love to keep their hair oil overnight so it stays longer, others don’t know with the change in their hormones their skin at times tends to become oilier. If you watch dandruff, you start oiling the hair thinking it is happening due to  lack of oil but that is not the case. Dr. Chhabra tells, “Keeping the oil for longer, oiling an oily scalp, and oiling in case of dandruff doesn’t support and may lead to further serious scalp situations.” She suggests to keep the oil for thirteen minutes to two hours at most and then rinse it off with a gentle shampoo, and cold water, and follow it up with your beloved  hair mask.

Dr. Chhabra tells that the best oils for hair are cold-pressed oils. She goes on to tell that, “My preferred oils contain coconut oil, almond oil, olive oil, and mustard oil. As a kid , my mother used to apply mustard oil to my hair but nowadays I am alternating between the  almond oil and olive oil.”
