How to Oil Hair Effectively Before Washing

Choose an oil which you want to apply; coconut, olive, castor, etc.

Warm the oil slightly. Do not heat it too much or you'll burn your hand or scalp.

Dip your finger tips in the warm oil and apply the oil to the roots of the hair in circular motion.

Do this to the entire scalp.

After applying oil to the entire scalp, apply oil to the rest of the hair till the tips.

Applying oil to the tips is important as it prevents split ends.

Massage the scalp with finger tips (don't use nails) for 10 minutes to improve circulation.

Leave the oil for at least an hour before washing it off. Leaving the oil overnight is even better. If you are leaving the oil overnight, make sure your hair is covered with a plastic shower cap and wash your hair the next morning.

Wash off the oil completely with shampoo.
