I have seen now most of the girls or some women not apply the oil in their hair daily. But I heard from old peoples oil is good for our hair and we should apply daily on hair.
I feel my hair is white because of not apply the oil daily. I think hair loosing problem is also arise due to less oil. For hair growth oil is good. But I need some good oil name to stop the hair fall problem and to remove the white hair. What you think really oil is helpful or no problem if not apply daily.

sureka, as per our elders words oil is good for our hair, some people apply oil twice a day to their hair, but in this modern days, most of the ladies are not interested in oiling their hair, they like free hair which is opposite to applying the oil, they use shampoo to enrich their hair.

I've never heard of putting oil in your hair daily. I have used hot oil treatments for my hair in the past but it doesn't leave the oil in your hair you wash it out. If you leave oil in your hair someone might think you are unkept and do not shower is what I'd be concerned about in this neck of the woods.
What is the purpose of the oil you are discussing?

To make healthy hair oil is necessary but now new generation girls not like this so their hair falling problem and whiteness problem are increasing. Oil is food for our hair. But I heard this and I want to know daily oil is good or not oil is good.

Hi Bhabi...
I asked your devrani before posting here my comment and she has said that it is not necessary to apply oil on hair. As per my opinion, i never use oil on hair and even cant recollect when i applied for the first time.
Have a nice time.

Yes you are right long hair and strong hair oil is must. Because old women's hair mostly long. Now hair fall problem is increasing day by day due to hormones problem, vitamin problem, stress problem many problem responsible for this.

Thanks a ton for the discussion. Well oil is very much essential for our hairs. Just like we feed ourselves to stay fit and healthy, even out hairs need some food and their food is oil. Oil should be applied to our hairs at least once in 3 days so that our hairs get strong and their roots with strengthen from within. The chances of our hair getting white and hair fall problems also reduces drastically.
What say?

Yes I also feel like you oil is essential for hairs but forget daily to put the oil in hair. Thats nice once in 3 days is good but daily is not possible because all hair will like silky. Thanks for sharing your view.

Hair has its natural oil , you try not to wash your hair for 2 days then it will be so oily. Don't oil your hair daily , oil it at least twice a week , it will yields good results , better natural oil that from coconut oil.

Hi Surekha!
If you apply oil in your hair it helps massage your scalp also. Scalp should be nourished and it should be clean and healthy for better growth of hair.
Regular application of oil is not guarantee that hair will not turn grey.
Growth of grey hair could be there due to so many factors.
It is said the coconut and almond oil is best for our hair.

well, naturally our hair has oil. but because of the pollution and sun heat, our hair becomes dry and needs some moisture. this is where we need oil to moisten our hair. in the old times, they did not have the luxury of medical advances. now, we have conditioning oil which has been tested to be beneficial to our hair growth and development. but it is always wise to listen to our elders.

Wow!!! I heard this first time our hair has oil nice. Means you are using conditioner for hair but no side effect of it or any side effect. Suggest me if possible the conditioner name for my hair.

hi surekharathi I use Herbal essence conditioner whenever I shampoo so my hair is soft and silky but not gummy.leaving conditioner in all the time messes it up .but oils will not keep ones hair from turning grey as that is an inside the hair thing when its our time to have white or grey hair it will turn.I shower and shampoo every three days and keeps my hair nice. I like herbal essence as it is not loaded with chemicals.

I don't use oil daily on my hair but I do apply oil on my hair sometimes.
I don't know what are the benefits of using oil in our hair- all I know is that, my hair doesn't mess up when I apply oil into it while it's a little damp.

Oil is only good for people with dry scalp. If your scalp is as oily as mine it'll only make your hair look sticky & messy. But if it is something like a hair grower type of oil which you badly need then you can apply it as directed by the product itself.

I don't like putting oil in my hair. My hair's type is already oily so putting oil in it is really a discomfort. I sometimes do hot oil treatment though to rejuvenate my hair. To avoid hair fall I just alternate the use of organic shampoo and conditioner.

I actually don't apply oil to my hair on a regular basis. The reason is that my hair has a tendency of getting greasy on its own and I don't want to have to be tethered to washing my hair each and every day.
In fact, I feel like since I've started to only washing my hair a few times a week, my hair is a lot healthier than it was when I was washing it every single day. It is getting thicker and has more shine to it now than it used to.

I am one who does not like oil in the hair. I agree it is necessary at times. But most of the time, no. Oil companies will die to tell us its usefulness, I dont believe that to be true.
I feel dust clings on more easily to hair because of oil, and therefore, hair gets dirty. I also feel that oil makes us sweat more and therefore stink. Gray hair is inevitable. So hair dyes are here to stay. You can use henna if you wish. Personally I want to look erudite like Nafisa Ali or Leela Naidu. And hair will fall if your diet is not propah and you are stressed and you have genes that say it will fall and if you have dandruff. So oil has nothing to do with it I suppose. Sometime ago I too raised similar question and the most ludicruous reason somebody came up was, we live in a country where we face excessive rays of sun directly on our head. Oil shines and reflects the sun's rays instaed of letting the hair absorb it. Hot headed people are inclined to get angry more often but without people who are not so hot up there are likely to be cool and collected. Oh yeah? So people who go bald must be have really fiery tempers. Right? No reply.
For now, I go with Jaiho's response. It helps to keep hair untangled.

Hello. I apply oil at least once a week. This is a good way to moisturize and condition the hair and scalp. Dandruff and other hair problems arise because of dry and flaky scalp. We should take care of our scalp because from that the hair grows and gets nourishment.

hi,
for me i think its not necessarily to apply oil daily in our hair,i think its depend upon the hair we have,and aside from that i hate to have an oily hair because they usually stick to each other,i think if we put oil to our hair maybe once a week only.

putting oil in he hair is good and it does not matter or anything that you only have to apply it everyday. some people apply oil once week. So it depends on the person. I do not think that the graying of your hair is due to not applying as you believe. There are other factor to it like lack of iron and other nutrients. Eat fenugreek (methi) vegetable to have dark hair. I have read it somewhere. Thanks so sharing and have a wonderful day ahead

When I apply a small amount of oil in to my hair, it gets sticky.I am not used to apply this even before because it attracts dust into my hair. The more oil I'll put the more the dust will cleave in to my hair.Though I did get an idea from you about applying oil can prevent our hair from further damage and hair fall.

Ohhh more oil means more dust but without oil means rough. Yes not daily but at least once in 2 to 3 days apply oil because still my MIL's hair is black not single hair is white because she apply oil daily.
