Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
1. Oiling the hair regularly is a healthy practice in many cultures. Oil is a hair conditioner and a hair oil massage helps in relaxation. It also makes hair shiny and strong.
2. Some people oil hair almost everyday but it is recommended to do it at least once a week.
3. Applying a thin coat of oil to the hair at night. This is the best way to oil your hair. Please rinse in the morning.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
