Curling your hair with a curling iron or flat iron is a beautiful thing, but it's very bad for your hair. Hair oil can be used to give your curls a natural boost. Read on in this beauty blog to learn more about hair oil, its benefits, and how to use it.

What is hair oil?

Hair oil is a viscous liquid that can nourish any hair type. It makes your hair shinier and softer and stimulates your natural curls. It's not only good for your hair but also very beneficial for your scalp.

What are the benefits of hair oil for curly hair?

Hair oil for curly hair can have several benefits for your hair. Read on to discover the most important benefits:

Benefit 1: Prevents frizzy hair and tangles

If you suffer from tangles or frizz, hair oil might be the solution. Apply some hair oil to wet hair and gently brush through your curls. You can also use hair oil on dry hair to prevent dryness or frizz. 

Benefit 2: Stimulates natural curls

Hair oil nourishes and conditions your hair ends. The weightless formulas used in our hair oils help control frizz and dryness. This nourishes and enhances your curls.

Benefit 3: Protect against heat

To use it as heat protection, apply the hair oil to towel-dried hair. Then you can blow-dry your hair without worrying about damage. It's also handy on vacation when your curls are exposed to a lot of sun and dry out faster.

What is the best way to use hair oil for curls?

Using hair oil can be a good solution for your curls, but it is also important that you know how to use the hair oil.

Before using hair oil, it's important to wash your curls with the right shampoo and conditioner. For example, Ecru 's Hydrating Shampoo and Anti-Frizz Conditioner are a good choice. These two products ensure your curly hair is perfectly cared for thanks to their special formulas that detangle and hydrate frizzy hair.

Then it's time for the oil. It's important not to use too much oil. It's best to distribute a few drops in your hands and squeeze the oil into your curls. Keep it about four inches away from your scalp, otherwise you risk making your scalp greasy.

Tip : Use hair oil as an overnight mask! After washing, apply the oil as described above. Then immediately cover your hair with a towel and let it sit overnight while you sleep. The next day, you can rinse the oil out with a nourishing shampoo.

Additional tips for stimulating natural curls

Besides hair oil, there are several other tricks you can use to strengthen your curls naturally, without using a curling iron:

• Toilet paper : Roll up a piece of toilet paper, wrap your hair around it, and tie the ends together. Repeat this throughout your hair;

• Braids : Make braids from the scalp, sleep with the braids overnight and get beautiful natural curls;

• Clothespin : Wrap sections of hair as tightly as possible around the clothespin. Apply this to all your hair and sleep with it overnight.

• Baby wipes : It works the same as toilet paper, only this paper is already damp, which gives you even tighter curls.
