If there is a hair care tip that won our hearts, it is the use of vegetable oil in the hair. Super versatile, the oils can be used for hair moistening, protecting blonde hair from pool chlorine, shielding hair after coloring and as a finisher. But do you know how long to leave the product on the wires? Come with us and we'll explain each way to use and the time of each treatment!

Vegetable oil for hair moisturizing

With dry hair, pass the vegetable oil of your choice throughout the length and ends. Now you need to set the time that goes with it on the hair. If you don't have any commitments, you can even sleep with it on, but if you're going out, it's not recommended to keep the oil for a long time because the strands look greasy. In that case, for the oil to take effect, it is necessary to wait at least 15 minutes to act on the locks. Washing can be your usual.

The COG and rake and shake styling methods use vegetable oil to finish and smooth curls. Another option is to leave the cream aside and use vegetable oil combined with gelatin to comb the curls and define the locks. In this case, the oil can be left on the strands until the next wash.

The use of the vegetable before coloring helps to strengthen the strands

Strengthening the strands before applying the color is an important step in maintaining capillary health. It can be left on for a few minutes before application or used for moisturizing during the week before the chemical treatment. The benefits are to combat the dryness and porosity of the hair. A tip is to add a few drops of oil to the hydration mask and leave it on for the recommended time on the mask.

The capillary shield protects the wires from the post-chemical splitting effect. To obtain the desired result, distribute the chosen oil from the roots to the ends on the same day as the coloring. The amount of product should be enough to cover all strands. For cases where the process requires intense discoloration, coconut oil is the best option as it is denser and deeply nourishes the locks. The product can be left for a few hours or even overnight on the strands.

Invest in vegetable oil before the sea and the pool

In these cases, vegetable oil acts as a protective layer on the hair, protecting it from chlorine and salt. A few drops are enough to prevent dryness, maintain color and even minimize the greenish tint in blonde hair caused by chlorine. The product can be left on the locks for as long as you are at the pool or beach. Soon after, it is recommended to wash the hair with running water.

Now that you already know several uses of vegetable oil, no going around with dry hair, huh, divas?!
