Slow beauty – oiling hair ritual
Hectic lifestyle…
We do the shopping automatically.
We are snowed under with work so devote less time to ourselves.
We don’t think about real needs of our skin, hair, nails.
As a consequence, we don’t provide them with proper complex care.
Dull hair, lack of shine or bounce, hard to style, dry hair ends, falling out strands…
Stressful lifestyle or our neglect?
If we change our perception of life, we will change our opinion about hair and body care.
Hair needs more than washing with an accidental shampoo or applying a conditioner that you’ve heard is good. You brush and pull your hair, treat it with heat… Your hair has no easy life. Its condition decreases gradually.
There is one piece of advice: slow down. We are not encouraging you to sit on the sofa aimlessly but you need to spare a moment only to yourself from time to time. Movie, book, TV series? It suits hair ritual perfectly.
Oiling hair with natural oils is a ritual, known in India for ages, which matches perfectly the slow life philosophy. The ritual is a complex hair repair treatment. You can do it at home, which is surely an asset. All you need is a good oil and…time.
Oiling hair consists in applying the oil to dry or damp hair, gentle massaging into the scalp and leaving on for several hours. The minimum time is an hour; an overnight treatment brings the best results. Then, you wash your hair with a delicate shampoo.
Oiling hair requires a bit of free time. You’d rather stay at home instead of going out with oily hair. Therefore, it will be exclusively your evening – a moment when you can reach out for a book or do something that makes you relaxed. You will charge your batteries whereas your hair will get deep nourishment. The oil penetrates inside the hair and nourishes it, starting from the bulbs and finishing at the hair ends which are most prone to damage.
Natural oils can be used for hair care as well as for the nourishment of the body, feet, hands, face… It is ideal and versatile and can replace many cosmetics.
