Things To Keep In Mind

While the oils we've mentioned in this post were designed to help promote hair growth and/or retention, it doesn't mean they're guaranteed to fix all of your hair woes. You can apply as much oil as you want but if you're not also following a suitable and consistent routine, you might end up inadvertently causing more damage to your hair so keep the following in mind:

• Less is more – be sparing with the oil so as not to overload your hair
• Targeted use can be more effective – instead of oiling your entire scalp (which can sometimes make your scalp drier) only use the oils in areas where you find your hair is more sparse such as bald patches or edges
• Wash your hair – every 7-10 days according to trichologist Ebuni Ajidua 
  Aside from everyday aggressors like dirt, products can cause build-up in your hair which can actually lead to more breakage and slower growth. It's almost like using skincare products to treat hyperpigmentation but not wearing SPF every day–completely pointless. Make sure you regularly wash your hair to keep it clean and healthy.
