The general recommendation is: they should be used in modest quantities to avoid an unwanted oily effect. Usually a FEW DROPS are enough for any use. Here are some examples of use:
Pre-Poo
We can use penetrating oils and butters as a pre-wash, taking care to allow time for the product to penetrate inside the hair. This is not a fast process, on the contrary, it is rather slow and as such it is advisable to let the oil or butter soak for several hours, even 12 or more. The longer the application time, the greater the possibility that the product penetrates deeply into the hair. At this stage it is advisable to use a thermal cap that provides a slight warmth to speed up the process.
It is also advisable to increase the amount of product used until the hair is saturated, a few drops are insufficient for this purpose, however it is better to apply a few drops at a time at repeated intervals rather than a larger amount at one time.
Sea / Chlorine
Also in this case, the more oil or butter has penetrated into the hair, the more it will be protected. Always apply a few drops at a time trying to saturate the hair without exaggerating.
Capillary massage
Both types of oils and butters are excellent for delicate capillary massages, both performed with the fingertips and with a special massager such as the Scrunch-It Scalp Massager. Just apply a few drops on the fingertips or on the massager and without applying too much force, stimulate the micro-circulation and therefore the oxygenation of the tissues thanks to a pleasant and relaxing massage.
Ideal to use a mix of scented oils of your choice such as The Mane Choice - Heavenly Halo Oil Mist or also Flora & Curl - African Citrus Superfruit Hair Oil to combine the therapeutic massage with a pleasant fragrance that will in turn help to create a relaxing environment to maximize the benefits of massage.
Styling
For styling, as we have seen, an oil with greater sealing capacity is recommended. Whether used to break the cast, divide the locks or for particular styling techniques. a few drops should be used. Using too much does not lead to optimal results.
For example, in the LOC technique (Leave in - Oil - Cream) the leave-in is applied to wet hair, then with a few drops of oil on the hands a protective oily film is formed that seals the water and product inside the hair and finally a styling cream is used to shape and define.
