The difference between hair mask and hair oil

Hair mask, similar to facial mask, contains rich nutrients and moisture. Hair mask can help repair hair fiber tissue and is suitable for damaged hair. Just like girls apply facial masks regularly, hair mask is also essential for hair care. Hair care essential oils are generally distilled and extracted from plants. Hair care essential oils have many functions. In addition to the basic hair care functions, they also have other functions such as regulating sebum, soothing mood, sleeping, and analgesia. The hair care function of hair care essential oils has gradually been valued by everyone, from the initial DIY use of hair care essential oils with shampoo, to the addition of hair care essential oil ingredients in shampoo products today, and even in independent bottles.

When using a hair mask, it is best not to apply it to the scalp, otherwise it is likely to make your hair greasier. However, hair care oil can be applied to the hair roots that touch the scalp, because when hair care oil acts on the scalp, it can inhibit hair loss and promote hair growth by regulating sebum, so applying it evenly to the hair roots can effectively improve hair quality.

There are several types of hair care essential oils

Silanes: The ingredients are relatively simple, mainly low molecular weight cyclopolydimethylsiloxane and high molecular weight polydimethylsiloxane. The effect is very obvious, easy to volatilize, and will not feel greasy.

Pure plant products: Most of them are not volatile, so they will feel very greasy when used. You must pay attention to the dosage. It is not recommended for people with fine hair to choose pure plant products, as they are very thick and oily, which will make hair more prone to flattening.

Most of the hair care essential oils on the market are polysilane essential oils with added pure plant ingredients, and most of them cannot come into direct contact with the scalp, so you should pay special attention to this when using them.

Number of times hair oil is used

Use it twice a week. Hair oil does not need to be used every day. To achieve healthier results, using it twice a week is enough! If you wash and blow dry your hair every day, apply a small amount to the ends of your hair each time to avoid heat damage to your hair.
